Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for analyzing an imaging quality of an imaging system. The imaging system comprises a spatial light modulator. The spatial light modulator comprises pixel units arranged in an array. The method comprises obtaining a transmittance distribution function of the spatial light modulator based on a structural parameter of the pixel unit, wherein the structural parameter is an aperture ratio. The imaging quality analysis parameter of the imaging system is obtained based on the transmittance distribution function of the spatial light modulator. Then, the imaging quality of the imaging system is analyzed based on the imaging quality analysis parameter.

A method and system for improving the control of a holographic projection system in order to meet, or to attempt to meet, one or more targets or aims for a holographically reconstructed image that is produced by the holographic projection system. The target, or aim, may concern the luminance of part or all of the holographically reconstructed image.

A projector arranged to project an image within a display area on a display plane. The image comprises a light feature. A light sensor is spatially separated from the display plane. In an aligned state, light forming the light feature of the image on the display plane is at least partially disposed around the light sensor. In the aligned state, substantially no light forming the light feature impinges on the light sensor. The aligned state defines a selected alignment between the display area and the display plane (i.e. a selected position of the display area on the display plane).

Provided is an apparatus and method for encoding a hologram and evaluating a holographic image quality for an amplitude-modulated hologram. A hologram encoding method may include acquiring three-dimensional (3D) information of a scene or an object; generating hologram information based on the 3D information; deriving a real number hologram function by extracting a real number part and an imaginary number part from the hologram information; determining an intermediate hologram function based on a sign characteristic of the real number hologram function; and determining encoded hologram information based on the intermediate hologram function.

The present description may provide a method of generating a hologram measurement pattern for measuring image quality of holographic display, including: generating a test pattern and a common pattern including at least one grayscale bar; generating measurement pattern data by combining the common pattern with a frame of the test pattern; and generating the hologram measurement pattern by inserting a random phase into the measurement pattern data and an apparatus applied thereto, thereby more accurately measuring the quality of the 3D holographic image reproduced by the holographic display.

Techniques for verifying identity of a human subject to an identification document are described. In some examples, a computing device may be connected to least two cameras oriented such that a first field of view is a substantially opposite direction from a second field of view. The device may receive images from the first camera that include a human subject. Second images from the second camera may include images of an ID document with a photograph of the human subject. The device may process the first images along with the respective, corresponding second images to determine respective 3D locations for at least one of cameras at the respective times the images were captured. Based on the sequence of 3D locations, along with the first images and the second images, the device may determine whether the human subject is a valid human subject.

A holographic security or identification device (10) comprises an object, or a flexible substrate (12) configured to be conformable to a desired, curved shape; and a plurality of structures (14) formed on or in the object to have a desired curved configuration, or formed in or associated with the substrate and arranged to adopt a desired curved configuration when the substrate is conformed to a desired shape, wherein the plurality of structures (14) are configured to receive light (20) of a selected at least one wavelength or range of wavelengths and to produce, using the received light, a desired holographic image (22) for security or identification purposes when in the desired configuration.

A hologram that includes a formation layer and a reflection layer that are laminated. The formation layer has an optical phase modulation structure on a first interface in contact with the reflection layer. When reference light emitted from a point light source enters through a second interface different from the first interface of the formation layer, the entirety or part of an image to be reconstructed by the optical phase modulation structure is reconstructed as spatial information on the point light source side relative to the second interface.
