Hologram print system and holographic stereogram

Abstract

A single photographic subsystem 2 photographs an original image for a hologram and provides an image information file Fp. In addition, this subsystem provides a management information file Fm for storing management information about the image information file Fp. An image processing section 4 generates a composite image file Fs by applying specified image processing to the image information file Fp and the management information about the management information file Fm provided from the single photographic subsystem 2 via a transmission system 3 a . A hologram printer 5 receives the composite image file Fs generated in the image processing section 4 and prints a holographic stereogram based on this composite image file Fs.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A hologram print system for printing a holographic stereogram based on image information, comprising: 
 information file provision means for providing an image information file to be holographed and a management information file storing management information about the image information file;    image processing means for generating a composite image file by overlaying management information according to said management information file on part of a hologram according to said image information file provided from said information file provision means; and    printout means for printing a holographic stereogram according to a composite image file generated from said image processing means.    
     
     
         2 . The hologram print system according to  claim 1 , wherein said image processing means generates a composite image file by overlaying management information according to said management information file on said image information file in such a manner as to display said management information only within a specified range from a periphery of a vision for said holographic stereogram.  
     
     
         3 . The hologram print system according to  claim 2 , wherein said specified range is within an angle of 15 degrees from the periphery of the vision.  
     
     
         4 . The hologram print system according to  claim 1 , wherein said management information file includes any of a photographic condition and information when an original image for said image information is photographed, information about attributes of said image information, an index specified during photographing, and additional information for said image information.  
     
     
         5 . A holographic stereogram printed in a hologram print system based on image information, 
 wherein a management information about a hologram-oriented image information file stored in a management information file is displayed by overlaying on part of a hologram generated according to said image information file.    
     
     
         6 . The holographic stereogram according to  claim 5 , wherein said management information is displayed only within a specified range from a periphery of a vision for said holographic stereogram.  
     
     
         7 . The holographic stereogram according to  claim 6 , wherein said specified range is within an angle of 15 degrees from the periphery of the vision.
