Study on Occlusion of Electronic-Holography Generated from 2D Image plus Depth Map

Abstract

As the first step to the electronic holography generation from 2D image plus depth map, Horizontal Parallax Only (HPO) hologram generation was investigated. As occlusion is perceived only in one direction, when Single-Side-Band (SSB) method for unnecessary light elimination is applied to HPO hologram, stereo cameras can pave the hidden surface. With this method, simple high speed electronic holography generation is experimentally confirmed. This approach can be extended to full-parallax holography.
