Fast Generation Algorithm of Digital Hologram based Depth Difference Temporal Filtering

A CGH (Computer-Generated Hologram) is produced by calculating the interference pattern between the object wave and the reference wave. Thus it has been developed to get some ideal characteristics of CGH that are not possible in reality or to test the characteristics of a hologram. To generate a CGH with the hologram resolution of (M×N) for a 3D object having K light source, basically (N×N×K) calculational iterations are necessary. This paper proposes an algorithm that increases the speed of generating a digital hologram using a depth different temporal filtering (DDTF) of a depth video sequence. The proposed algorithm is a technique that performs CGH operation with only calculation the different depth values between the depth video frames. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm increased operation speed by 65 % over the technique using the conventional CGH equation
