Fast processing of information represented in digital holograms

A method, comprising:

• projecting, by a system comprising a processor, a hologram on a virtual diffraction plane that is within a defined distance of an object space associated with an object scene represented by the hologram;
• and
• processing, by the system, one or more optical properties of one or more respective regions on the virtual diffraction plane to facilitate modifying one or more optical characteristics of the one or more respective regions on the virtual diffraction plane to facilitate generating a processed virtual diffraction plane that facilitates generating a processed hologram that represents the object scene.

A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• projecting a hologram on a virtual diffraction plane that is within a defined distance of an object space associated with an object scene represented by the hologram;
• and
• modifying one or more optical properties of one or more respective regions on the virtual diffraction plane to facilitate modifying one or more optical characteristics of the one or more respective regions on the virtual diffraction plane to facilitate generating a processed virtual diffraction plane that facilitates generating a processed hologram that represents the object scene.

A system, comprising:

• means for projecting a hologram on a virtual diffraction plane that is within a defined distance of an object space associated with an object scene represented by the hologram;
• and
• means for adjusting one or more optical properties of one or more respective regions on the virtual diffraction plane to facilitate adjusting one or more optical characteristics of the one or more respective regions on the virtual diffraction plane to facilitate generating a processed virtual diffraction plane that facilitates generating a processed hologram that represents the object scene.
