Abstract

A method of synthesizing computer-generated holograms of real existing objects is proposed, in which a series of projection images of an incoherently illuminated object are recorded in different points of view. According to the principle of computer tomography, the 3-D Fourier spectrum of the object is calculated by several projection images. A method of calculating a Fresnel hologram from the 3-D Fourier spectrum is proposed. Experimental results in the computer simulation and the optical reconstruction are presented.
