Fast 3D Analytical Affine Transformation for Polygon-Based Computer-Generated Holograms

Abstract

We present a fast 3D analytical affine transformation (F3DAAT) method to obtain polygon-based computer-generated holograms (CGHs). CGHs consisting of tens of thousands of triangles from 3D objects are obtained by this method. We have attempted a revised method based on previous 3D affine transformation methods. In order to improve computational efficiency, we have derived and analyzed our proposed affine transformation matrix. We show that we have further increased the computational efficiency compared with previous affine methods. We also have added flat shading to improve the reconstructed image quality. A 3D object from a 3D camera is reconstructed holographically by numerical and optical experiments.
