Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a system for object identification and/or classification. The computer-implemented method includes receiving digital hologram data of a digital hologram of an object. The digital hologram data comprises phase information and magnitude information. The computer-implemented method further includes processing the digital hologram data based on a neural-network-based ensemble model to identify and/or classify the object.

Abstract: System and methods for efficiently generating a high quality patterned-phase-only hologram that can be displayed on a single device. A digital image of a holographed subject is measured as a distribution of the intensity of pixels in the image, or as an intensity image, and uniformly partitioned into a plurality of non-overlapping image blocks. A phase mask is applied to each pixel in each image block and assigned a value in the range of [0,2?). The pixels are modulated with a phase value corresponding to the value applied by the phase mask, creating a modified intensity image. A complex hologram is generated from the modified intensity image. The complex hologram is generated utilizing a fast hologram generation process and then converted into a patterned-phase-only hologram. A short sequence of the patterned-phase holograms can be displayed to enhance the visual quality of the displayed holographic images.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes Augmented Reality (AR) methods and systems allowing one or more user to observe a virtual image (e.g., computer generated image) overlaid on a physical scene (e.g., actual real life surroundings). Embodiments herein allow components of the AR methods and systems to be decoupled from each other, such that a user is able to view a virtual image overlaid on a physical scene while simply wearing thin, lightweight holographic spectacles.

Abstract: A trajectory is drawn on a digital canvas with a pointing device, wherein the trajectory comprises a plurality of spaced points, and each spaced point has a plurality of characteristics, including a geometric profile, a depth, and a color if a color trajectory or an intensity if a monochromatic trajectory. One or more of the plurality of characteristics is adjusted by manually controlling a speed of the drawing, and a faster drawing speed results in spacing between two successive points that is greater than that resulting from a slower speed. A line is generated by interpolating the space between the points. A picture is created with a number of trajectories and/or lines. A three-dimensional image may be created from the picture by creating, then integrating a set of multi-view images from the picture. The picture in progress and/or as completed may be displayed, for example, on a three-dimensional display.
