Digital Holographic Data Representation and Compression

With the increasing interest in holography for 3D imaging applications, there is a need to develop and use hologram compression techniques for the efficient storage and transmission of holographic data. This book gives a broad overview of the state-of-the-art techniques for the efficient compression and representation of digital holographic data, addressing both still and moving data sequences.

• An Introduction to the principles of digital holography
• A critical analysis of the techniques that have been developed
• Coverage of the most recent research results
• A summary of future research challenges

Scientists, researchers, graduate students and engineers working in the field of holography, and interested in digital holographic data compression.
