Computer-generated hologram with complete depth information of reflection and refraction using ray tracing rendering

Reflection and refraction images are treated as the texture of the object in computer graphics, which brings wrong depth information when focusing on the object in holographic display. In this paper, a method of ray tracing rendering with complete depth information for computer-generated hologram(CGH) is proposed. Correct depths of reflection and refraction images are calculated, and layer based method is used to generate CGH. In experiment result, our method truthfully reconstructs the complete depth information of complex scene. Reflection or refraction images and its corresponding media surfaces can be focused on correct depth. All layer data is computed in a single ray tracing procedure, and the generation speed of 1024 x1024 CGH for 3D scene divided into 10 layers is 100fps.
