We propose what we believe to be a novel method for highly accurate three-dimensional (3D) anglemeasurement based on propagation vector analysis of digital holography. Three-dimensional rotations inspace can be achieved by use of a CCD camera and a multifacet object, which reflects anincident wave into different directions. The propagation vectors of the reflected wavesfrom the object can be extracted by analyzing the object spectrum of the recordedhologram. Any small rotation of the object will induce a change in the propagationvectors in space, which can then be used for 3D angle measurement. Experimental resultsare presented to verify the idea.
