  • Patent number: 9158281
    Abstract: Two original images to be recorded are prepared as data (S10). A plurality of unit regions, each having an adequate area to record interference fringes of visible light, are defined and positioned on a hologram recording surface (S20). A gradation pattern, with which appearance probabilities of two record attributes gradually change in space, is overlapped onto the recording surface, and to each unit region, one of either record attributes is assigned according to the appearance probabilities of the respective record attributes at each individual position (S30).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 13, 2015

  • Patent number: 8630032
    Abstract: Two adjacent images are recorded in a state smoothly blended at a boundary portion. On a recording plane Rec, provided is a region M1 in which an original image Pic(A) is recorded, a region M2 in which an original image Pic(B) is recorded, and a middle region Mm positioned therebetween. The region Mm is divided into a plurality of strip-like regions f1 to f6. The widths of the strip-like regions f1, f3, and f5 that are odd-numbered when counted from the region M1 are set so as to increase monotonically in this order, while the widths of the even-numbered strip-like regions f2, f4, and f6 are set so as to decrease monotonically in this order.
