Abstract
We present a distortion-tolerant 3-D object recognition system using single exposure on-axis digital holography. In contrast to distortion-tolerant 3-D object recognition employing conventional phase shifting scheme which requires multiple exposures, our proposed method requires only one single digital hologram to be synthesized and used for distortion-tolerant 3-D object recognition. A benefit of the single exposure based on-axis approach is enhanced practicality of digital holography for distortion-tolerant 3-D object recognition in terms of its simplicity and high tolerance to external scene parameters such as moving targets. This paper shows experimentally, that single exposure on-axis digital holography is capable of providing a distortion-tolerant 3-D object recognition capability.
