Incoherent digital holography refers to a group of methods, in which a 3D [three-dimensional] scene, illuminated by incoherent light, is recorded onto a two-dimensional digital hologram. Since the hologram is stored digitally in the computer, the image of the scene is usually reconstructed from the hologram by a digital computation. 1, record 1, English, - incoherent%20digital%20holography

There are two types of representative IDH [incoherent digital holography] techniques : IDH with a structured illumination and a single photodetector termed optical scanning holography and self-interference IDH. The latter IDH is a technique to obtain an incoherent digital hologram by modulating an incoherent light wave between an object and an image sensor. 1, record 2, English, - incoherent%20digital%20hologram

A number of methods for self-reference holography in white light have been proposed, and they can be conditionally divided into two groups. One is a group that uses a self-illuminating object or an object illuminated by an incoherent light source, considered to be a set of point sources that are not correlated with each other. 2, record 3, English, - self%2Dreference%20holography
