ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an improved means for displaying computer generated hologram (CGH). Images appearing in the image volume are realised as a set of planar facets that approximate to the shape of the original object to be displayed. These facets are populated with points, that act as the visible parts of the displayed image. When an object is displayed, certain facets will not be face on the viewing zone. This will result in an apparent surplus of points on these facets, which is wasteful of computing effort. The current invention thus provides for certain facets to be denuded of points if these facets are not presented face on to the viewing zone of the CGH. The invention is mainly applicable for producing CGHs using the interference based algorithm, but can also be used in other types of 3D display that make up objects from an array of points.
