Definition

Quality of reconstructed image from computer-generated phase hologram is evaluated objectively on its peak signal-to-noise ratio and brightness.

Introduction

Hologram can record and reconstruct or playback an optical wavefront on the hologram plane. It uses interference between two waves, an object wave from the object to be recorded and a reference wave. The interference intensity pattern is recorded on a photosensitive material. Computer-generated hologram (CGH) simulates this optical phenomenon in a computer (Lohmann and Paris 1967). CGH is widely used to show not only for 2D images but also complex 3D images. Image quality of the reconstructed image from CGH is usually evaluated subjectively. For example, an observer compares two images and scores. Here shows basic research to evaluate reconstructed image quality of phase-type CGH objectively on its peak signal-to-noise ration and brightness (Yoshikawa and Yamaguchi 2015).
