The large number of pixels to be processed and stored for digital holographic techniques necessitates the development of effective lossless compression techniques. Use cases for such techniques are archiving holograms, especially sensitive biomedical data, and improving the data transmission capacity of bandwidth-limited data transport channels where quality loss cannot be tolerated, like display interfaces. Only a few lossless compression techniques exist for holography, and the search for an efficient technique well suited for processing the large amounts of pixels typically encountered is ongoing.

In addition, since the first-generation of holographic displays is expected to require binary holograms, associated compression algorithms are expected to be able to handle this binary format. In this work, the suitability of a context based Bayesian tree model is proposed as an extension to adaptive binary arithmetic coding to facilitate the efficient lossless compression of binary holograms.

While the standardization of solutions to handle light field content is currently reaching its final stage, the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) committee is now preparing for the standardization of solutions targeting point cloud and holographic modalities. This paper addresses the challenges related to the standardization of compression technologies for holographic content and associated test methodologies.

We introduce an end-to-end compression pipeline for compressing holographic sequences with known ground truth motion. The compression strategy employs a motion compensation algorithm based on the rotational transformation of an angular spectrum.
