Abstract: Image processing in the retina of the eye has thus far been mainly dealt with analogous to photographic ray optics i. e., imaging lens optics and photodiode arrays. However, it does not offer an answer to the questions that are crucial to human vision: WHAT a visible object invariantly represents conceptually (a house, a tree, etc.), WHERE it is located in relation to other objects in space or which RGB-colors and/or luminosities collaborate locally. For this purpose, ray optics needs to be supplemented by diffractive wave optics, which can be described as Fresnel near-field interference in cellular or spatial gratings. The fact that interference optics plays a decisive role in vision has already been proven by the fact that in binocular vision the image brightness is preserved when closing one eye. However, with the introduction of interference-wave-optics and especially with Fresnel Nearfield interference optics the cortico-retinal image processing now becomes possible in the eye, i.e. in the retina of the peripheral visual organ. Fresnel Nearfield interference optics especially allows multilayer proceeding and a better understanding of hierarchical imaging systems. It clearly becomes apparent in the di- and trichromatic proceeding and by the separation of color proceeding from invariant object form proceeding. Color - as an example - is not produced at the visual objects and also not in the cortex, but in the Fresnel space of the retina.

Abstract: Holography, a crucial technology for 3D visualization, strives to create realistic relief images. This research aims to enhance hologram quality and viewer experience by optimizing the image-processing pipeline. Conventional holographic displays face challenges due to their bulkiness and limited viewing angles. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a novel approach that integrates digital holography with holographic pyramid technology. Digital holography uses computer algorithms for hologram generation, while holographic pyramid technology projects images onto a reflective pyramid for 3D display. The drawback of holographic pyramid displays in low-light environments is addressed through increased diffraction to enhance image resolution. This integrated approach involves comprehensive research, including an examination of existing methods. The anticipated outcome is holograms with improved visibility and resolution from multiple angles. The research presents an initial image preprocessing phase, succeeded by sophisticated processing employing iterative algorithms. This aims to diminish the image size while upholding its quality, thereby achieving an image suitable for pyramidal display. The fusion of digital holography and holographic pyramid display shows promise for immersive visual experiences. However, advancements in processing techniques may lead to increased material complexity, posing a challenge. Through this research, the system aims to unlock creative potentials and pave the way for enhanced holographic displays in various applications.
