High-speed real 3D scene acquisition and 3D holographic reconstruction system based on ultrafast optical axial scanning

Abstract

The lack of three-dimensional (3D) content is one of the challenges that have been faced by holographic 3D display. Here, we proposed a real 3D scene acquisition and 3D holographic reconstruction system based on ultrafast optical axial scanning. An electrically tunable lens (ETL) was used for high-speed focus shift (up to 2.5 ms). A CCD camera was synchronized with the ETL to acquire multi-focused image sequence of real scene. Then, the focusing area of each multi-focused image was extracted by using Tenengrad operator, and the 3D image were obtained. Finally, 3D holographic reconstruction visible to the naked eye can be achieved by the layer-based diffraction algorithm. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method have been demonstrated by simulation and experiment, and the experimental results agree well with the simulation results. This method will further expand the application of holographic 3D display in the field of education, advertising, entertainment, and other fields.

“…The articulated arms of modern coordinate measuring machines and robots are equipped with non-contact laser scanners. 3D holographic projection technology [36] uses the principle of holographic imaging to present optical information in a 3D form and generate realistic 3D images in space, allowing observers to experience real 3D visuals.…”
