Computer-generated image holograms are particularly useful for 3D-display applications. We discuss the properties of the reconstructions obtained with this hologram type. Conditions are given which must be fulfilled to ensure a disturbance free reconstruction. A new efficient algorithm is presented which implements the hidden surface effect for synthetic image holograms.
Key words : computer-generated holograms, display holography, 3D-display, hidden surface problem
