RAVQ-HoloNet: Rate-Adaptive Vector-Quantized Hologram Compression

arXiv:2511.21035v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Holography offers significant potential for AR/VR applications. However, its adoption is limited by the high demand for data compression. Existing deep learning approaches generally lack rate adaptivity within a single network and often require multiple models to cover different bandwidth requirements. We present RAVQ-HoloNet, a rate-adaptive vector quantization framework that integrates the rate-adaptive compression with the transformation of image data into phase-only hologram. RAVQ-HoloNet achieves high-fidelity reconstructions, outperform

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing demand for immersive AR/VR experiences, coupled with the computational and bandwidth constraints of current holography, makes efficient compression a critical bottleneck, driving innovation in this area.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a key technical limitation in the adoption of holographic technology, crucial for advancing AR/VR and other applications, potentially making high-fidelity immersive experiences more accessible.

What changes
