Abstract

Effective perspective image segmentation and mosaicking (EPISM) method is an effective holographic stereogram printing method, but a mosaic misplacement of reconstruction image occurred when focusing away from the reconstruction image plane. In this paper, a method known as holographic element-based effective perspective image segmentation and mosaicking is proposed. Holographic element (hogel) correspondence is used in EPISM method as pixel correspondence is used in direct-writing digital holography (DWDH) method to generate effective perspective images segments. The synthetic perspective image for holographic stereogram printing is obtained by mosaicking all the effective perspective images segments. Optical experiments verified that the holographic stereogram printed by the proposed method can provide high-quality reconstruction imagery and solve the mosaic misplacement inherent in the EPISM method.

Highlights

  • Holographic stereogram printing technology is used in many fields

  • Since Dennis Gabor invented holographic technology in 1948, holographic printing techniques can be categorized into three types: synthetic holographic stereogram printing, holographic fringe printing, and wavefront printing

  • In 1991, Halle [6,7,8,9,10,11,12] proposed a single-step holographic stereogram printing technique called Ultragram; this method processes the perspective image obtained by the sampling camera to generate a holographic stereogram that can be used for single-step printing

Introduction

Holographic stereogram printing technology is used in many fields. Since Dennis Gabor invented holographic technology in 1948, holographic printing techniques can be categorized into three types: synthetic holographic stereogram printing, holographic fringe printing, and wavefront printing. In 1991, Halle [6,7,8,9,10,11,12] proposed a single-step holographic stereogram printing technique called Ultragram; this method processes the perspective image obtained by the sampling camera to generate a holographic stereogram that can be used for single-step printing. In this manner, arbitrary depth, full parallax, and undistortion holographic stereogram printing can be realized.
