We outline the use of digital holographic tomography to determine the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of falling and static objects, such as lenslets and water droplets. Reconstruction of digitally recorded inline holograms is performed using multiplicative and Radon transform techniques to reveal the exact 3D shapes of the objects.

In this letter, the method of direct object-image relationship in normal-view disk-type multiplex holography is adopted for theoretical analysis. The corresponding parameters in hologram fabrication and reconstruction process for both virtual-image and real-image generation are also introduced through numerical simulation and experimental results.
