Human visual system for evaluation of holographic image quality

Abstract

In this paper, we present a unified framework for evaluating the visual quality of holographic images based on Human Visual System (HVS). Analyzing what holographic image and its three-dimensional features really look like to the human eye is the purpose of this study. By exploiting schematic eye based on HVS, we focus on the tracing of lights that is emitted from holographically reconstructed image and propagates through intraocular structure of the human eye. In particular, we perform, based on wave theory, numerical simulation that aims at complex wave-field distribution of intraocular lights, to effectively deal with holographic properties.
