Synthetic holographic stereogram technology is a research hotspot in the field of three-dimensional display, which is widely used in military, economics, and other industries. Based on the development of synthetic holographic stereogram technology at home and abroad, we summarizes the basic writing methods, image quality improvement methods, and performance improvement methods. We introduce the development process and research status of basic writing methods, summarize their implementation methods, and evaluate the comprehensive performance of several main methods at this stage. Focusing on the imaging quality and comprehensive performance of synthetic holographic stereogram technology, we summarize the recent progress in improving synthetic holographic stereogram technology. Finally, the conclusion and prospect are given.
