Abstract:
Two computer-generated display macro holograms have been synthesized to demonstrate the possibility of holographic display of 3D objects specified by their mathematical descriptions. Three dimensional models of the objects and shaded 2D projections in varying viewing directions were generated using the methods of computer graphics. For each projection, a Fourier hologram was synthesized and encoded by the kinoform method. The resulting digital kinoforms was recorded on a photographic film by a computer-controlled laser device, and after the film development and bleaching, macro holograms were produced acceptable for watching 3D images. The complete macro hologram has a size of 672x672 mm2 and consists of 900 elementary holograms of 256x256 samples each, calculated for different directions within the solid angle of +/- 90 degree(s). It allows the visual representation of 3D objects with good quality.
