Abstract:
We propose to retrieve the original 3-D objects as a virtual image by computers from a hologram created by real laser system. Then we can input the 3-D surface coordinates of a real object into computer memory. We may use these data as the boundaries to generate a body-fitted grid system for computer simulation, to modify these for computer animation, or to use these for pattern recognition of objects. HORN-1 (HOlographic ReconstructioN) specially prepared machine for this purpose enables us to do this work within quite short time. The machine has achieved a speed of 500 MFLOPS with one circuit. Massively parallel system combined into a LSI chip can work as a real-time recognition system.
