Orthographic projection images-based photon-counted integral Fourier holography
Abstract:
Unlike coherent imaging techniques, light field imaging uses incoherent (white light) illumination to generate a digital hologram of three-dimensional (3D) objects in real time. Multiple projections (or elemental images) of a 3D object are captured using a microlens array attached to a digital camera. Orthographic projection images (OPIs) can be synthesized from the recorded elemental images. The synthesized intensity-based OPIs are then multiplied by the corresponding phase functions and combined to form a digital hologram (also known as an integral hologram) of a 3D object under illumination. In this study, we analyze the performance of a synthesized integral hologram under low light imaging (photon-counting) conditions. The feasibility of this technique is verified experimentally by capturing the elemental images and subsequently generating orthographic projection images and by varying photon counts to reconstruct the digital holograms.
