Cameras and Display Systems Towards Photorealistic 3D Holography

This book presents recent advances in computational cameras and holographic display frameworks, encompassing algorithms, devices, and systems. In the context of optical imaging systems, comprising camera calibration for 3D imaging, computational imaging algorithms and compressive-sensing 3D cameras, the authors introduce general principles and also demonstrate: integration of full-link visual sensing for three-dimensional information; full-link imaging methods using the optical modulation transfer function to improve imaging quality in the computational camera; and new geometrical calibration methods for photogrammetry applications. In the corresponding holographic displays, the authors introduce 3D holographic video display systems and new head-mounted and head-up holographic display systems, along with fast hologram generation algorithms and wide viewing-angle configurations. Including an investigative roadmap for future progress in optical imaging and 3D display systems, this book is essential reading for scientists and engineers in academia and industry who are interested in next-generation imaging and display concepts for the three-dimensional visual sensing systems.
