e ,uation of hologram recognition of image- ~hich have had their
abamtestics varied individually. For example, an i;arage
shadow has been increaentally lengthened and subjected (at each
iner t) to recognition by a previou. ly made hologram of the ::are
lmqp without shadow. Other image variable ; which have been
investigated, in the , manner, are perspective, scale, orientation,
tiple tar; eta in the scene, and image detail. addition to
inveitignting the effects of image variables, certain paremeterL;
of the hologram sy,te se have been evaluated. Among terse are
vibration tolerance of the equipment, variouL. types of recording
media, the effects of liquid Sate.,;.. effects of image alignment,
