Fourier hologram generation from multiple incoherent defocused images

A novel method to capture a Fourier holography of the three-dimensional objects under regular incoherent illumination is proposed. Multiple images of the three-dimensional objects are captured by a camera while moving the focal plane along the optic axis over the whole object space. Captured multiple defocused images are processed considering the point spread function of the camera and the Fourier holography is finally synthesized. The principle is explained and verified experimentally.
