Statistical analysis of computer generated holography for data compression applications

Holography is an acquisition and reproduction technique of visual contents which allows, theoretically, the reconstruction of the acquired scene without any difference with its real-world counterpart. Digital holograms are characterized by a huge amount of data, having different features compared to conventional image and video content. This paper presents a statistical analysis of computer-generated holograms data with the aim of providing a better understanding of the features and characteristics of holographic data, to be used as a basis for research and design of novel coding solutions specifically tailored for holographic contents
