The first monograph on this rapidly evolving area of research and development, this book presents both the theory and applications of new advances in 3D TV and display techniques. The theoretical concepts are illustrated by applied examples, numerical simulations and experimental results.

This highly practical and self-contained guidebook explains the principles and major applications of digital hologram recording and numerical reconstruction (Digital Holography). A special chapter is designated to digital holographic interferometry with applications in deformation and shape measurement and refractive index determination. Applications in imaging and microscopy are also described. Spcial techniques such as digital light-in-flight holography, holographic endoscopy, information encrypting, comparative holography, and related techniques of speckle metrology are also treated

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th INternational Conference on Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, ACIVS 2020, held in Auckland, New Zealand, in February 2020.
