Abstract

The CG-line method is an algorithm for generating computer-generated holograms (CGHs), a digitally recording medium for three-dimensional images in electro-holography. Since the CG-line method is specialized for projecting three-dimensional wireframe objects, it can calculate CGH with a very low computational load. However, the reconstructed image of the conventional CG-line method suffers from unintended light imbalance depending on the object shape, which disturbs the understandability of the projecting image. Therefore, we propose a method for reducing light imbalance by imposing phase error that controls light according to the line shape. Consequently, we reduced light imbalance by maintaining the high computational speed.
