Holo-U2Net for High-Fidelity 3D Hologram Generation

Traditional methods of hologram generation, such as point-, polygon-, and layer-based physical simulation approaches, suffer from substantial computational overhead and generate low-fidelity holograms. Deep learning-based computer-generated holography demonstrates effective performance in terms of speed and hologram fidelity. There is potential to enhance the network's capacity for fitting and modeling in the context of computer-generated holography utilizing deep learning methods. Specifically, the ability of the proposed network to simulate Fresnel diffraction based on the provided hologram dataset requires further improvement to meet expectations for high-fidelity holograms. We propose a neural architecture called Holo-U²Net to address the challenge of generating a high-fidelity hologram within an acceptable time frame. Holo-U²Net shows notable performance in hologram evaluation metrics, including an average structural similarity of 0.9988, an average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 46.75 dB, an enhanced correlation coefficient of 0.9996, and a learned perceptual image patch similarity of 0.0008 on the MIT-CGH-4K large-scale hologram dataset.
