<title>Determination of aberrations in holographic stereograms by computer simulation</title>

Abstract

Optimal construction of stereograms requires accordance between recording conditions of the 2 dimensional recording and the subsequent holographic master recording. In recording of different stereograms for use in mass productions it is appropriate to be capable of changing the recording conditions. This can be achieved by approximating the optimal holographic recording. The approximation is accomplished by use of different recording principles in the 2 dimensional and the holographic recording. As a result image aberrations occur in the stereograms. For evaluating the magnitude of image aberrations a computer program was developed. The program simulates the image aberrations observed as a result of different viewing angles and distances in respect to the final holographic stereogram.
