Research and Standardization Trends of Digital Hologram Compression

Holography is a technique that can acquire and reproduce 3D objects nearly perfectly by representing both the amplitude and phase of light. Recently, digital holography has received considerable attention because it is simpler than analog holography from acquisition to reproduction. The data size of the digital hologram increases tremendously as the quality of digital holograms depends on their pixel pitch and resolution. Hence, efficient compression is necessary to realize holographic imaging services. In this report, we introduce recent digital hologram compression techniques and JPEG Pleno holography, which is the first international standardization activity for digital hologram compression. Furthermore, we discuss the future of this field.
