The system includes a omnidirectional angular spectrum generation module configured to receive geometric information of an object and generate an occlusion-culled omnidirectional angular spectrum based on the received geometric information, and a hologram generation module configured to generate a hologram based on the omnidirectional angular spectrum provided from the omnidirectional angular spectrum generation module and the positional information and the directional information of a hologram provided from the outside.
Abstract:
Provided are a digital hologram synthesis method and apparatus based on an angular spectrum. The digital hologram synthesis method includes representing an input digital hologram as at least one angular spectrum region by applying Fourier transformation to the input digital hologram, registering the at least one angular spectrum region by projecting the at least one angular spectrum region onto a spherical surface, and generating a synthesis digital hologram based on the registered at least one angular spectrum region. Accordingly, it is possible to generate a new digital hologram with a different orientation or at a different distance using an angular spectrum of a digital hologram generated in advance, without geometric information of an object. In addition, it is possible to readily and intuitively synthesize a new digital hologram while viewing an image visualized in a 3D space.
