The holographic recorder is an advanced solution that facilitates the capture and processing of images under regular lighting conditions to produce realistic three-dimensional (3-D) objects.
Goals and Benefits
• To the human eye, a hologram produces an authentic 3-D reconstruction, exhibiting accurate depth cues and requiring no additional viewing devices.
• Holograms enable the efficient and highly dense storage of 3-D information.
• The proposed device supports the single shot recording of a hologram using a digital camera, under regular, incoherent white-light conditions, and with no special stability requirements, overcoming the constraints imposed by the conventional hologram recording process.
