    • To introduce a novel scanning halftone plotter for displaying continuous-tone pictures and computer-generated holograms.
    • To present a simplified mathematical treatment for computer-generated holograms facilitated by the halftone plotter.
    • To develop and demonstrate a new algorithm for synthesizing holograms of 3D objects, including solving the hidden line problem and improving image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) based scanning halftone plotter.
    • Application of the halftone plotter to simplify the mathematical theory of computer-generated holograms.
    • Introduction of a new algorithm for calculating light propagation from object planes in 3D scenes.
    • Synthesis of holograms for non-existent 3D objects using the new algorithm.
    • Implementation of a method for enhancing reconstructed image quality.

    Main Results:

    • The scanning halftone plotter successfully displays continuous-tone images and computer-generated holograms.
    • A simplified mathematical approach to computer-generated holograms is demonstrated.
    • The new algorithm effectively calculates light propagation and synthesizes 3D object holograms.
