Holographic particle sizing using Wigner–Ville distribution

A novel method for measuring size of small objects with high-aspect ratio from in-line holograms by using Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD) is proposed. The proposed method provides direct calculation of the particle size by using local spatial-frequency information at the half length of holograms being analyzed. Feasibility of this method is experimentally verified by analyzing in-line holograms of an optical fiber.     

All wavelet analysis of in-line particle holograms

In-line particle holography is a well-known method used for visualization and measurement of small objects such as sizes, 3-D positions and velocities. However, this method suffers from a major drawback that is conventional analysis of its reconstructed images is very tedious and time consuming. In this paper, we review recent progress in holographic particle tracking and sizing by using wavelet transform. Recent experimental results of spherical object measurement are noted.     

Potential of digital holography in particle measurement

This paper describes the potential power of digital holography in particle measurement and its expected development in the near future. In digital holography, image reconstruction is carried out numerically on a computer using observed hologram patterns and some quantitative information can be derived from the reconstructed images. In this paper, the basic concept and procedure of digital in-line holography are shown mainly for particle depth measurement and the performance test results obtained in numerical simulations and experiments are demonstrated to examine the potential of the present method.     

Direct analysis of in-line particle holograms by using wavelet transform and envelope reconstruction method

We propose a new digital method for sizing particles and tracking their positions from an in-line hologram by using a combination of a wavelet transform and a reconstruction of the envelope functions. In the proposed method, the hologram is recorded by a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor. The wavelet transform of digitized holograms gives information about the position of particles, while the reconstruction of envelope functions provides the size of particles. Preliminary theoretical and experimental verifications are presented. The system limitation of the method is discussed.

Stereoscopic 3D visualization of particle fields reconstructed from digital inline holograms

Holography is a powerful tool as it codes information, e.g. on 3D positions in a particle field in a single 2D hologram. In digital holography, the holograms are recorded on a digital image sensor. It is a particular challenge to visualize a digital hologram's depth information, such that it can be understood intuitively while retaining the advantages of a numerical reconstruction. In this contribution it is suggested and demonstrated how a numerically constructed volume can be used to calculate stereoscopic views, which even in the case of non-diffuse illumination allow for an intuitive visualization of particles’ positions in 3D space.

3D particle positioning by using the Fraunhofer criterion

In particle tracking velocimetry, the necessary information is the 3D location of a given particle in space. This information can be obtained by examining the real image or by analyzing the interference fringe recorded on a digital camera. In this work, we measure the three-dimensional position of spherical particles by calculating the Central Spot Size of the interference pattern of a particle diffraction image. The Central Spot Size is obtained by combining the Continuous Wavelet transform and circle Hough transform. The Continuous Wavelet transform allow us in only one step enhanced quality of particle images and sets a threshold to select properly places where a Central Spot Size appear in order to determine its size via the Hough transform. The size and centroid of the Central Spot Size render z and x-y position of a particle image, respectively. The Central Spot Size is related to a criterion of a simplified theory given by the Fraunhofer theory in order to obtain z particle position. Our approach has been applied to simulated and experimental particle images. Simulated particle images show good agreement between actual and calculated Central Spot Size. An average relative error of 0.5% and 1.12% for x-y and z directions, respectively, was found in the analysis. Our experimental particle images were obtained from particle motion inside a channel. The quality of the particle images determines the accuracy of the calculation of the Central Spot Size of a particle image.

Inversion of visible optical extinction data for spheroid particle size distribution based on PCA

The problem of light scattering properties of spheroid particles is studied, and a general approach is presented for calculating the single particle light scattering of spheroids. In this approach, the extinction efficiency of spheroid particles can be calculated by combining the spline interpolation of T matrix method and ADA (anomalous diffraction approximation) theory. Furthermore, the retrieval of spheroid particle size distribution is performed in the dependent mode and a selection method about the optical extinction data is proposed based on PCA (principle component analysis) of first derivative corresponding to the raw optical extinction. By calculating the contribution rate of first derivative corresponding to the raw optical extinction, the optical extinction with more significant features can be selected as the inversion optical extinction data. In this way, the selected optical extinction has less information redundancy and higher capacity of resisting noise disturbance. Simulation experiments indicate that the spheroid particle size distributions obtained with the proposed method coincide fairly well with the given distributions, which provides a simple, reliable and efficient method to retrieve the spheroid particle size distribution using the optical extinction data.

Investigating particle and volatile evolution during pulverized coal combustion using high-speed digital in-line holography

Devolatilization is an important process in pulverized coal combustion because it affects the ignition, volatile combustion, and subsequent char burning and ash formation. In this study, high-speed digital in-line holography is employed to visualize and quantify the particle and volatile evolution during pulverized coal combustion. China Shanxi bituminous coal particles sieved in the range of 105–154 µm are entrained into a flat flame burner through a central tube for the study. Time-resolved observations show the volatile ejection, accumulation, and detachment in the early stage of coal combustion. Three-dimensional imaging and automatic particle extraction algorithm allow for the size and velocity statistics of the particle and stringy volatile tail. The results demonstrate the smaller particle generation and coal particle swelling in the devolatilization. It is found that the coal particles and volatiles accelerate due to the thermal buoyancy and the volatiles move faster than the coal particles. On average, smaller particles move faster than the larger ones while some can move much slower possibly because of the fragmentation.
