Abstract

We propose a technique that reconstructs a hologram whose pixel number is greater than the pixel numbers of a conventional image sensor. The pixel numbers of the hologram recorded by optical scanning holography (OSH) increases as the scan area becomes larger. The reconstruction time also increases drastically as the size of the hologram increases. The holographic information of a three-dimensional (3D) scene is distributed throughout the recorded hologram; this makes the simple divide-and-stitch approach fail. We propose a technique that reconstructs the hologram without loss of holographic information. First, we record the hologram of a 3D scene using OSH. Second, we segment the hologram into sub-holograms that contain complete holographic information. Third, we reconstruct the sub-holograms simultaneously. Finally, we rearrange the reconstructions of the sub-holograms.
