Abstract
Sometimes an understanding of one imaging modality can inform us about properties of another quite different imaging modality. We illustrate this thought with an example. First we explore the principles of the plenoptic camera, which deals with so-called light fields used in computer graphics. We replace the concept of light field with the closely related quantity, the Wigner distribution, for the case of coherent optics, and show how the effects of limited detector MTF in holography can be predicted using the Wigner distribution. Next we consider the effects of detector nonlinearities on holographic images, again using a Wigner distribution approach.
