The fields of imaging, microscopy and metrology have all benefited from these developments. In this paper some of these developments will be described with some applications in the fields of color imaging, amplitude and phase microscopy and dynamic metrology. It is envisaged that this field will rapidly advance in the next couple of years and become an expected imaging and measurement modality especially in the field of micro, nano and bio sciences.展开更多

In brief, the WRP and its extension, the VDP, is a hypothetical plane that is located between the hologram and the object scene, and which is at close proximity to the latter. As such, the fringe patterns on the hypothetical plane are carrying the holistic information of the hologram, as well as the local optical properties of the object scene. This important property enables a hologram to be processed with classical image processing techniques that are normally unsuitable for handling holographic information. In this paper we shall review a number of works, that have been developed based on the framework of the WRP and the VDP.展开更多
