摘要: There is provided a method of projection using an optical element (502,602) having spatially variant optical power. The method comprises combining Fourier domain data representative of a 2D image with Fourier domain data having a first lensing effect (604a) to produce first holographic data. Light is spatially modulated (504,603a) with the first holographic data to form a first spatially modulated light beam. The first spatially modulated light beam is redirected using the optical element (502,602) by illuminating a first region (607) of the optical element (602) with the first spatially modulated beam. The first lensing effect (604a) compensates for the optical power of the optical element in the first region (607). Advantageous embodiments relate to a head-up display for a vehicle using the vehicle windscreen (502,602) as an optical element to redirect light to the viewer (505,609).

摘要: A light detection and ranging system arranged to scan a scene is provided. A light source outputs light having a first characteristic. A spatial light modulator receives output light from the light source and outputs spatially-modulated light in accordance with computer-generated holograms represented thereon. A light detector receives light having the first characteristic from the scene and outputs a light response signal. A holographic controller is arranged to output a plurality of computer-generated holograms to the spatial light modulator. Each computer-generated hologram is arranged to form structured light having a corresponding pattern within the scene. The holographic controller is further arranged to change the pattern of the structured light formed by at least one of the plurality of computer-generated holograms.

摘要: Embodiments include systems and methods for operating a head-up display for a vehicle. Embodiments include a first light engine, a second light engine, at least one waveguide, an eye-box for a viewer, and a light detector. The first light engine is arranged to form a first wavefront (e.g., a first holographic wavefront) formed by illuminating a first hologram of a picture, and the second light engine is arranged to form a second wavefront. The waveguide includes an input, pair of opposing reflective surfaces, and an output. The input is arranged to receive the first and second holographic wavefronts. The pair of opposing reflective surfaces is arranged to waveguide the first holographic wavefront and second wavefront therebetween by internal reflection. A first surface of the pair of opposing reflective surfaces is partially transmissive thereby forming an output port for a plurality of replicas of the first and second holographic wavefronts.

摘要: A method of projecting a first image and a second image using one multi-wavelength hologram. The first image is different to the second image. The multi-wavelength hologram is arranged for illumination by light of a first wavelength to project the first image. The multi-wavelength hologram is further arranged for illumination by light of a second, shorter wavelength to project the second image.

摘要: Disclosed embodiments include a head-up display for a vehicle comprising a first pupil replicator and second pupil replicator. The first pupil replicator extends in a first direction. The first pupil replicator is arranged to receive a holographic light field from a spatial light modulator having a pixel array defining a limiting aperture of the head-up display. A holographic light field is a complex light field spatially modulated in accordance with a hologram displayed on the spatial light modulator. The second pupil replicator extends in the first direction and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second pupil replicator comprises a first major surface forming an output and a second major surface parallel to the first major surface. The first pupil replicator is arranged within a planar layer substantially parallel and adjacent to the second major surface of the second pupil replicator.

摘要: A method of holographic projection. The method comprises projecting at least one calibration image using a first colour holographic channel and a second colour holographic channel. Each calibration image comprises at least one light spot. The method comprises performing the following steps for each calibration image in order to determine a plurality of displacements vectors at a respective plurality of different locations on the replay plane. A first step comprises projecting the calibration image onto the replay plane using a first colour holographic channel by displaying a first hologram on a first spatial light modulator and illuminating the first spatial light modulator with light of the first colour. A second step comprises projecting the calibration image onto the replay using a second colour holographic channel by displaying a second hologram on a second spatial light modulator and illuminating the second spatial light modulator with light of the second colour. It may be said that the first and second hologram correspond to the calibration image. A third step comprises determining the displacement vector between the light spot formed by the first colour holographic channel and the light spot formed by the second colour holographic channel. A fourth step comprises pre-processing an image for projection using the second colour holographic channel in accordance with the plurality of determined displacement vectors.
