Abstract

We achieve three-dimensional photography of continuous objects and scenery under ambient (sunlight) illumination based on self-interference of two beam-split copies of the object´s optical field with differential curvatures. The apparatus consists of a beam-splitter, a few mirrors and lenses, a piezo-actuator, and a CCD camera. No lasers or other special illumination is used for recording or reconstruction. Holographic images of daylight-illuminated outdoor scenes are obtained using a telephoto lens configuration. From the recorded hologram, images are reconstructed and numerically propagated to desired focal planes for viewing.
