Quality comparison and acceleration for digital hologram generation method based on segmentation
(IEEE, 2009) Kang, Hoonjong; Yaraş, Fahri; Onural, Levent
A holographic fringe pattern generation methods is based on Fraunhofer diffraction and subsequent segmentation and approximation of the fringe pattern. Several modifications of the original algorithm are already proposed to improve the quality of reconstructions. We compare the quality of to the reconstructed images from different versions of this algorithm by taking the reconstructions from the Fresnel hologram as a reference. Since, there is not any generally accepted objective quality assessment method for such reconstructions, we used some experimental methods such as intensity spread over the reconstructed images, total noise power, and peak-signal-to-noise for comparison. Then we chose the best performing algorithm in terms of ireconstruction quality, and developed a GPU-based implementation to accelerate the computation speed. The quality of the resultant reconstructions is comparable to reconstructions from Fresnel holograms; much higher speed is achieved due to multi-GPU implemetation.

Real-time color holographic video display system
(IEEE, 2009) Yaraş, Fahri; Kang, Hoonjong; Onural, Levent
A real-time multi-GPU color holographic video display system computes holograms from 3D video of a rigid object. System has three main stages; client, server and optics. 3D coordinate and texture information are kept in client and sent online to the server through the network. In the server stage, with the help of the parallel processing ability of the GPUs and segmentation algorithms, phase-holograms are computed in real-time. The graphic card of the server computer drives the SLMs and red, green and blue channels are controlled in parallel. Resultant color holographic video is loaded to the SLMs which are illuminated by expanded light from LEDs. In the optics stage, reconstructed color components are combined by using beam splitters. Reconstructions are captured by a CCD array without any supporting optics. Experimental results are satisfactory.

State of the art in holographic displays: a survey
(IEEE, 2010-05-27) Yaraş, F.; Kang, H.; Onural, L.
True-3D imaging and display systems are based on physical duplication of light distribution. Holography is a true-3D technique. There are significant developments in electro-holographic displays in recent years. Liquid crystal, liquid crystal on silicon, optically addressed, mirror-based, holographic polymer-dispersed, and acousto-optic devices are used as holographic displays. There are complete electro-holographic display systems and some of them are already commercialized.
