Smoothing of inter-layer edge artifacts in depth-map computer-generated holograms
Abstract:
In the depth-map computer-generated hologram (CGH), inter-layer edge artifacts are observed in the discontinuous edges of section-wise depth-map objects. CGH synthesis, utilizing the hybrid smoothing method of silhouette masking and edge-apodization, alleviates unwanted inter-layer edge artifacts. The proposed method achieves improved de-artifact filtering that generates holographic images closer to the ground truth image of the depth-map object unattainable by the conventional CGH synthesis method.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
