DESCRIPTION OF A SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING HOLOGRAPHIC STEREOGRAMS

Abstract

Computer-Aided Holographic Stereography (CAHS) is a hybrid technology, which extends the usefulness of the well established technique of stereoscopic photography by applying the relatively new disciplines of holography and computer graphics. In this article, the practical considerations of building a system to produce holographic stereograms are set out. Additionally, it is shown how, using simple microprocessor technology, the system has been automated to the extent that, apart from inputing control parameters via a keyboard, the only human intervention is in handling the holographic film.
