Ankara : The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Institute of Engineering and Sciences of Bilkent University, 2010.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2010.Includes bibliographical references leaves 94-97.Holography is a promising method for three-dimensional vision. Different
research efforts are being spent to improve generation of holograms and image
reconstruction from holograms. A computer generated hologram can be a
precise method of generating a real like video in the future. RayleighSommerfeld
diffraction method and Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction formula are
two algorithms suitable for FPGA implementation of hologram calculation.
Simulator image reconstructions and optical image reconstructions with spatial
light modulator using the generated holograms are compared and it is seen that
they are quite similar. A field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation
of real time holographic video generation based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld
formulation is simulated. FPGA implementation is tested and verified by a
computer simulator. An FPGA board capable of capturing video input and
giving video output for spatial light modulator (SLM) is chosen as the
implementation platform for simulations. A small size hologram calculator can
be implemented on the FPGA board. A custom board for specific hologram
calculation algorithm can be designed to increase the performance. Pipelined
architecture and SDRAM memories can be used to increase the performance.Yılmaz, Timur EyüpM.S
