Off-axis optical scanning holography (OSH) has been recently proposed to perform scanning holography without the use of heterodyning. In the present work, we combine the principle of off-axis scanning holography operating in the coherent mode with the idea of a layer-based method to achieve a new computational imaging technique for optical tomography. The point cloud data of a complex three-dimensional (3D) scene is layered along the depth direction as the 3D object is divided into a series of planar layers parallel to the hologram along the optical axis direction. The data of each layer generates a single-layer hologram under coherent off-axis scanning holography. Finally, the hologram of a complex three-dimensional object is obtained by superimposing all the single-layer holograms. We use a single-sideband filter to extract the hologram spectrum to obtain a positive first-order reconstruction and demonstrate numerical reconstruction with different diffraction distances. Also, optically reconstructed images are displayed by a spatial light modulator. The results indicate that the proposed method can realize the holographic recording and reconstruction of a complex three-dimensional object without the zeroth-order beam and the twin image, providing a new computational method for the generation of holograms of large-scale and long-depth 3D objects.
Edge extraction is an important pre-processing operation in image processing and pattern recognition in machine vision. For example, coherent optical image processing for edge detection can be performed in a standard 4-f system with proper pupil designs. The possibility of pre-processing using digital holography for 3D image edge extraction is intriguing. In this talk, we will review some of the edge detection techniques used in single-pixel digital holography called optical scanning holography (OSH). OSH is a two-pupil system and different edge detection schemes through the different combinations of pupils are discussed.
