Signal processing for three-dimensional holographic television displays that use binary spatial light modulators
(IEEE, 2010) Ulusoy, Erdem; Onural, Levent; Özaktaş, Haldun M.
One of the important techniques used for three dimensional television (3DTV) is holography. In holographic 3DTV, spatial light modulators (SLM) are used as the display device. SLMs that provide the most limited modulation are the binary SLMs, since only two different values can be assigned to their pixels. An important signal processing problem arising here is the determination of the binary signal to be written on the SLM among the possible ones such that the desired light field is generated to the best extent. Many of the proposed methods do not produce satisfactory results in terms of error rate, computational performance or light efficiency. We propose an optical setup to be placed in front of the binary SLM and the associated signal processing algorithm. The proposed system uses a 4-f setup and a periodic mask is placed to the Fourier plane. As a result, the binary SLM is convolved with a series of regularly spaced impulse functions and we get a new SLM which is smaller in pixel count compared to binary SLM but which can provide 16-bit full complex modulation. It becomes easier to generate the desired light field with this new SLM. Also, the required computations are carried out in a fast manner to enable real-time operation. ©2010 IEEE.

Signal processing problems and algorithms in display side of 3DTV
(IEEE, 2006-10) Ulusoy, E.; Esmer, Gökhan Bora; Özaktaş, Haldun M.; Onural, Levent; Gotchev, A.; Uzunov, V.
Two important signal processing problems in the display side of a holographic 3DTV are the computation of the diffraction field of a 3D object from its abstract representation, and determination of the best display configuration to synthesize some intended light distribution. To solve the former problem, we worked on the computation of ID diffraction patterns from discrete data distributed over 2D space. The problem is solved using matrix pseudo-inversion which dominates the computational complexity. Then, the light field synthesis problem by a deflectable mirror array device (DMAD) is posed as a constrained linear optimization problem. The formulation makes direct application of common optimization algorithms quite easy. The simulations indicate that developed methods are promising. ©2006 IEEE.
