Motion parallax holograms generated from an existing hologram

Abstract

Generating new motion parallax holograms is required for holographic head-mounted displays when the head moves. Additionally, it is required for hologram generation from light field data that consist of a number of motion parallax images. However, re-rendering three-dimensional (3D) scenes and re-calculating holograms are computationally complex. Therefore, we propose a generation strategy of holograms with different motion parallax from an existing hologram without re-rendering 3D scenes and re-calculating holograms. The proposed method employs Fourier band-pass filtering and the simple relation of trigonometric functions, which makes it capable of skipping the computationally complex processes.
