If a plane-wave reference is used for recording and for reconstruction, then the reconstructed image will coincide with the magnified image of the object in amplitude, although the phase will contain the curvature due to the imaging lens. Alternatively, holographic interference of the object and the plane-wave reference can be formed first and its magnified image projected near the hologram plane... 2, record 1, English, - holographic%20interference

A photograph, as a two-dimensional recording of an image formed by a lens, can be blurred from the start; the sharpness of the image is not affected by the light source used to illuminate it. The situation, however, is completely reversed for an optical hologram, which is a recording of a stationary quantum interference pattern, not an image. 2, record 2, English, - optical%20hologram

The different sources of this noise could be due to periodic drift or malfunction of the detector, or due to electronic interference among sensor components, or due to problem in the transmission and recording process. The noise, if present in any part of the image can either degrade or totally mask the true radiometric information contained by the digital image. Hence, noise removal is very essential before any preprocessing or analysis of the image could be done. 2, record 5, English, - image%20noise

The signal data in the Kobe image was corrupted by a ground-based radar operating in the same frequency band as the JERS-1 sensor. This radar interference caused the streaks of noise that cover the image of the land mass.
