Three-dimensional photography by holography
Abstract
Color encoding of depth is shown to occur naturally in holograms that are reconstructed under white light illumination. It can be registered in a common color photograph, allowing a simple method of visual decoding by means of ordinary colored 3-D spectacles. The fundamental holographic equations and the photographic procedure required for maximum fidelity in three-dimensional reproduction are described. The result is a new kind of photograph that shows all of the views of the object in a continuous sequence. It permits an animated photographic representation and also makes it possible to adjust the degree of depth visualization when observed as a stereoscopic representation.
