Description: 
A method for allowing direct perfect superimposition and comparison of Fresnel-transform reconstructions of digital holograms recorded of the same object at different distances and wavelengths is proposed and demonstrated. The method takes into account the dependence of the reconstruction pixel on the distance and the wavelength by the Fresnel-transform algorithm. The method avoids the need for image scaling at the end of the reconstruction process that usually is performed in multi-wavelength digital holography. Demonstration is given by superposing the numerical reconstructions of holograms recorded at different distances and wavelengths. The method can be potentially very useful for real-time monitoring in biological processes or for recognition and ranging by multiple wavelengths of a target with fast movements or finally for very fast investigation and study of very fast processes.
