Modulation transfer function and optimum sampling of holographic stereograms

The modulation transfer function characteristics of image-plane holographic stereograms are calculated, and the behavior of the modulation transfer function with respect to factors such as image depth, resolution, and perspective window size is described. The expression for the modulation transfer function is then used to determine the optimum stereogram parameters, and it is shown how this approach can lead to significant computational economies in the display of three-dimensional data.
