Compression of computer-generated holograms in image projection

Abstract

Computer-generated holography is a technique of a lossless and lens-less forming of images. Methods that use local devices to compute such holograms are very power- and time-consuming. In order to make it possible to transfer the calculations to the cloud, it is necessary to elaborate efficient algorithms of a lossless compression. In this paper two methods of compression are presented and supported by both simulation and experimental results. A lossy compression method omitting certain bit-planes of the holographic data is also presented, which allows insignificant loss of information, while achieving a greater compression ratio.
