  • Large volume holographic imaging systems and associated methods
    Patent number: 11372126
    Abstract: A method for large volume holographic imaging is provided that may include determining projection operators within sub-volumes of a decomposed target volume, and determining a point aggregation operator for each sub-volume based on the projection operators. The method may further include receiving holographic field measurement data set captured for the target volume via the sensor array, generating a sub-volume interest value for each sub-volume by applying the holographic field measurement data set to each point aggregation operator, determining a sub-volume with a highest sub-volume interest value, and determining respective lower-tier sub-volume interest values for lower-tier sub-volumes of the sub-volume with the highest sub-volume interest value. The lower-tier sub-volumes may be defined by decomposing the sub-volume with the highest sub-volume interest value. Additionally, the method may include generating an image of the target volume based on the lower-tier sub-volume interest values.
