Abstract

To make a view perspective cue emerging in reconstructed images, a new approach is proposed by incorporating virtual variable-focal-length lenses into computer generated Fourier hologram (CGFH). This approach is based on a combination of monocular vision principle and digital hologram display, thus it owns properties coming from the two display models simultaneously. Therefore, it can overcome the drawback of the unsatisfied visual depth perception of the reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) images in holographic projection display (HPD). Firstly, an analysis on characteristics of conventional CGFH reconstruction is made, which indicates that a finite depthof- focus and a non-adjustable lateral magnification are reasons of the depth information lack on a fixed image plane. Secondly, the principle of controlling lateral magnification in wave-front reconstructions by virtual lenses is demonstrated. And the relation model is deduced, involving the depth of object, the parameters of virtual lenses, and the lateral magnification. Next, the focal-lengths of virtual lenses are determined by considering perspective distortion of human vision. After employing virtual lenses in the CGFH, the reconstructed image on focal-plane can deliver the same depth cues as that of the monocular stereoscopic image. Finally, the depthof- focus enhancement produced by a virtual lens and the effect on the reconstruction quality from the virtual lens are described. Numerical simulation and electro-optical reconstruction experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm can improve the depth perception of the reconstructed 3D image in HPD. The proposed method provides a possibility of uniting multiple display models to enhance 3D display performance and viewer experience.
