Apparatus and method for measuring quality of holographic image
View Patent ↗Provided is an apparatus for measuring a quality of a holographic image. The apparatus includes: a hologram image reconstruction unit configured to perform a hologram image; a superimposed focus image generation unit configured to collect an area that is in focus from reconstructed images and superimpose into a single image; and a hologram image quality measurement unit configured to perform an image quality evaluation for the superimposed focus image.
1. An apparatus for measuring a quality of a holographic image, the apparatus comprising:
a hologram image reconstruction unit configured to perform a reconstruction for a hologram image on a three-dimensional space by using a three-dimensional image;
a superimposed focus image generation unit configured to collect areas that are in focus at each depth of the hologram image and generate a superimposed focus image including the collected areas; and
a hologram image quality measurement unit configured to generate a single representative image by integrating plurality of viewpoint images for the superimposed focus image within a viewing angle, and evaluate quality of the single representative image.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hologram image reconstruction unit performs a numerical reconstruction within the three-dimensional space of the hologram image.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the superimposed focus image generation unit collects the areas that are in focus at a certain depth.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the superimposed focus image generation unit generates the superimposed focus image with respect to the three-dimensional space of the hologram image.
5. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the superimposed focus image generation unit generates the superimposed focus image by using a defocusing for a reconstructed image for each depth or by analyzing a correlation for the same area for each depth.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the reconstructed image for each depth is corrected to have the same brightness for each depth when the image is reconstructed by the hologram image reconstruction unit, or is post-corrected to have the same brightness after the reconstruction is completed, or is corrected when the image is superimposed by the superimposed focus image generation unit.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hologram image quality measurement unit evaluates a quality, a sense of depth, and a view angle of the single representative image.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hologram image quality measurement unit defines a viewpoint having representativeness for the single representative image and evaluates a quality of the viewpoint having representativeness.
9. A method for measuring a quality of a holographic image, the method comprising:
performing a reconstruction for a hologram image on a three-dimensional space by using a three-dimensional image;
collecting areas that are in focus from at each depth of the hologram image and superimposing the collected areas into a superimposed focus image; and
generate a single representative image by integrating plurality of viewpoint images for the superimposed focus image within a viewing angle, and
evaluating quality of the single representative image.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein performing a reconstruction for each depth comprises performing a numerical reconstruction within the three-dimensional spare of the hologram image.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein collecting areas comprises collecting the areas that are in focus at a certain depth.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein evaluating comprises evaluating a quality, a sense of depth, and a view angle of the single representative image.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein evaluating comprises defining a viewpoint image among the plurality of viewpoint images having representativeness for the single representative image and evaluating a quality of the viewpoint image having representativeness.
