Digital holography enables accurate representation of three-dimensional scenes by encoding both the amplitude and phase information of light waves. However, the extremely high spatial resolution of computer-generated holograms (CGHs) results in massive data volumes, making compression an essential step for storage and transmission. Conventional compression methods often introduce artifacts that significantly degrade the quality of numerical reconstruction (NR), particularly in perceptually important object regions.

The VTM-FCH dataset is designed to support research on compression, restoration, and quality assessment of full-complex holograms. This dataset contains holograms that have been compressed and reconstructed using the Versatile Video Coding Test Model (VTM) under standardized coding configurations.

A key characteristic of this dataset is that it reflects realistic compression degradations encountered in holographic data pipelines. The holograms originate from high-resolution CGH sources and are processed into non-overlapping patches suitable for deep learning–based training and evaluation.

By providing standardized VTM-compressed full-complex holograms, VTM-FCH serves as a benchmark dataset for advancing research in holographic signal processing and compression-aware hologram enhancement.

The VTM-FCH dataset includes 10 original holographic images.

All holograms are encoded using VTM-11.2 under the All-Intra configuration with YUV444 format. 

Quantization parameters (QPs) are set to 22, 27, 32, 35, 38, and 41.

The holograms are partitioned into non-overlapping patches.

We provide processed versions of the holographic images supplied by B<>com. The specifications of the original holograms are summarized below.
