Optical information processing apparatus and method using computer generated hologram.

摘要

There is disclosed optical information processing apparatus and method wherein an input image of an object is optically Fourier-transformed and after coordinate-transforming the Fourier-transformed input image optically to obtain a rotation-invariant and scale-invariant image, the resultant image is pattern-matched with a computer generated hologram of a reference image. The coordinate-transformation of the Fourier-transformed input image is made using an optical phase filter represented as a computer generated hologram. <IMAGE>
