Aspects of hologram calculation for video frames

This paper presents a modified version of the Fienup algorithm that can compute an image projecting hologram significantly faster. The proposed method, referred to as Fienup with don't-care (Fidoc), is sufficiently fast to enable real-time hologram calculation for video projection purposes. It achieves high speed and excellent image quality by dispersing noise in 'don't-care' areas around the image. Through simulations it was shown that for the same amount of computation, reconstruction quality is significantly better when using the Fidoc method instead of the simple GS (Gerchberg-Saxton) and Fienup algorithms.
