Abstract
We present a theoretical framework for recording and reconstructing incoherent correlation holograms of real-existing three-dimensional scenes observed from multiple viewpoints. This framework is demonstrated by generating and reconstructing a modified Fresnel hologram as well as a new correlation hologram called a protected correlation hologram. The reconstructed scene obtained from the protected correlation hologram has a significantly improved transverse resolution for the far objects in the scene compared to the modified Fresnel hologram. Additionally, the three-dimensional information encoded into the protected correlation hologram is scrambled by a secretive point spread function and thus the hologram can be used for encrypting the observed scene. The proposed holography methods are demonstrated by both simulations and experiments.
