Abstract
In electroholography, we have succeeded in the real-time reconstruction of a three-dimensional (3-D) image using high-performance computers. One of the computers is the HORN-6 special-purpose computer we have developed for holography to realize a 3-D television. Using this HORN-6 cluster system, we succeeded in creating a computer-generated hologram (CGH) of the 3-D image composed of 1,000,000 points at a rate of 1 frame per second (fps), and a CGH of the 3-D image composed of 100,000 points at a rate of 10 fps, which is near the video rate, when the size of the CGH is 1,920 × 1,080. And the other computer is a graphics processing unit (GPU). We have succeeded in achieving of the real-time reconstruction in 20 fps when the 3-D object was composed of 1,500 points using a compute unified device architecture (CUDA) programming of the GPU.
