title: Fast one-step calculation of holographic videos of three-dimensional scenes by combined use of baseline and depth-compensating principal fringe patterns.
abstract: As a new approach for rapid generation of holographic videos, a so-called compressed novel-look-up-table(C-NLUT), which is composed of only two principal fringe patterns (PFPs) of baseline and depth-compensating PFPs (B-PFP, DC-PFP), is proposed. Here, the hologram pattern for a 3-D video frame are generated by calculating the fringe patterns for all depth layers only by using the B-PFP, and then transforming them into those for their depth layers by being multiplied with corresponding DC-PFPs. With this one-step calculation process, the computational speed (CS) of the proposed method can be greatly enhanced. Experimental results show that the CS of the proposed method has been improved by 30.2% on the average compared to that of the conventional method. Furthermore, the average calculation time of a new hybrid MC/C-NLUT method, in which both of motion-compensation (MC) and one-step calculation schemes are employed, has been reduced by 99.7%, 65.4%, 60.2% and 30.2%, respectively compared to each of the conventional ray-tracing, LUT, NLUT, and MC-NLUT methods. In addition, the memory size of the proposed method has been also reduced by 82 × 10(6)-fold and 128-fold compared to those of the conventional LUT and NLUT methods, respectively.
