We present a versatile computational image rendering software of optically-acquired holograms. The reported software can process 4 Megapixel 8-bit raw frames from a sensor array acquired at a sustained rate of 80 Hz. Video-rate image rendering is achieved by streamline image processing with commodity computer graphics hardware. For time-averaged holograms acquired in off-axis optical configuration with a frequency-shifted reference beam, wide-field imaging of one tunable spectral component is permitted. This software is validated by phase-stepped hologram rendering, and noncontact monitoring of surface acoustic waves by single and dual sideband hologram rendering. It demonstrates the suitability of holography for video-rate computational laser Doppler imaging in heterodyne optical configuration. [15][16][17][18][19][20]. For time-consuming holographic image rendering, in particular when real-time performance is required, hardware acceleration of computations should be considered [21,22].In this letter, a video-rate computational holographic image rendering software is presented. We demonstrate processing of 4 Megapixel interferogram recordings at a throughput of 320 Mega bytes per second with commodity graphics hardware. At the difference of the available libraries [23,24], the software is readily usable to record holographic videos. Experimental demonstrations of phase-stepped video holography and quantitative remote monitoring of optical sideband holograms are reported.
