Abstract

KOREATECH-CGH provides RGBD–complex hologram pairs generated with a layer-based hologram method. Each sample bundles RGB, depth, amplitude, and phase at up to 2048 × 2048 resolution. The dataset targets machine learning–based computer-generated holography (ML-CGH) for hologram generation, upscaling, and related wave-optics tasks.

abstract = {Machine learning-based computer-generated holography (ML-CGH) has advanced rapidly in recent years, yet progress is constrained by the limited availability of high-quality, large-scale hologram datasets. To address this, we present KOREATECH-CGH, a publicly available dataset comprising 6000 pairs of RGB-D images and complex holograms across resolutions ranging from 256×256 to 2048×2048, with depth ranges extending to the theoretical limits of the angular spectrum method for wide 3D scene coverage. To improve hologram quality at large depth ranges, we introduce amplitude projection, a post-processing technique that replaces amplitude components of hologram wavefields at each depth layer while preserving phase. This approach enhances reconstruction fidelity, achieving 27.46 dB PSNR and 0.87 SSIM, surpassing a recent optimized silhouette-masking layer-based method by 3.86 dB and 0.09 SSIM, respectively. We further validate the utility of KOREATECH-CGH through experiments on hologram generation and super-resolution using state-of-the-art ML models, confirming its applicability for training and evaluating next-generation ML-CGH systems.}
