Young's modulus measurement of the radius bone using a shearing interferometer with carrier fringes

A technique for measuring Young's modulus of the radius bone by using electronic speckle-shearing pattern interferometry is proposed. The technique is based on the introduction of carrier fringes and the use of a phase unwrapping algorithm to obtain a phase map corresponding to the out-of-plane displacements of a radius bone without sign ambiguities. The carrier fringes are obtained by the correlation algorithm of two consecutive speckle fields with a translation of the illuminating beam between each recording, then the spatial synchronous detection (SSD), an unwrapping phase algorithm and integration process along shear direction are successfully applied for obtaining a displacement phase map. Next, analysis of the radius bone as a cantilever allows us to obtain Young's modulus. The study was performed with speckle interferometry and with the finite element method for comparing the results. Advantages and disadvantages of the proposed method are discussed.     

Digital phase stepping speckle interferometry

A variation of electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is presented whereby phase fringes are produced in contrast to speckle correlation fringes. Digital phase stepping speckle interferometry uses a phase measurement technique developed for holographic interferometry, which involves phase shifting of the reference beam in a conventional speckle interferometer. Saw-tooth phase fringes are produced by subtracting the phases of the speckle fields before and after object deformation in a digital frame store. This enables the sign of the deformation to be distinguished. After application of a special low-pass digital filter, the phase fringes are of adequate quality to be counted automatically.     

Automatic processing of Young''s fringes in speckle photography

A new method for the automatic processing of Young's fringes in speckle photography is described, based on the technique of spatial phase detection. The amount of calculation is reduced, yet accuracy is of an order comparable with that of the Fourier transform method. Furthermore, orientation of fringes is determined as well as fringe spacing.     

3D shape from phase errors by using binary fringe with multi-step phase-shift technique

A three-dimensional shape measurement method is presented, which is a uniaxial measurement by measuring phase errors instead of the well-known phase, modulation or contrast. A sequence of exposures are captured by using a multi-step phase-shift technique with the binary fringes. Then the high-accuracy phases can be obtained by using all the exposures, meanwhile, a set of low-accuracy phases can be calculated by dividing those exposures into a set of four-step phase-shift measurements. For each pixel there will be a set of phase errors by subtracting low-accuracy phases from the high-accuracy ones. And the weighted phase error of every pixel can be calculated. Meanwhile the phase error caused by the improperly defocused binary fringes has a unique relationship with the depth z. Therefore, the 3D information of every pixel can be obtained by analyzing the phase errors. It will be promising for a uniaxial measurement, such as deep holes.     

Automatic refractive index profiling of fibers by phase analysis method using Fourier transform

Inverse projected-fringe technique based on multi projectors

The inverse projected-fringe technique based on multi projectors is proposed. By an absolute phase measurement on the master object, different inverse fringes are generated, for projectors placed in different directions. During the inspection process, inverse fringes are projected simultaneously. If the test object and the master object are identical, an optimized sine fringe is obtained on the camera. Otherwise, every faulty area of the test object causes distortions of the fringe. The deformations can be evaluated quantitatively by simple Fourier transformation and phase unwrapping. Therefore, we can complete the inspection of complex and discontinuous objects with only one fringe image, and solve the problems of shadow and break to a large extent, and consequently realize the fast on-line inspection. The principle of this technique is expatiated, and we prove the validity of it on the example of a two-projector system. The analysis of error and prerequisites of application are also presented.

A double whole-field filtering technique to measure pure curvature fringe distribution of a deformed object is proposed. In this method, the slope fringes which are contained in the pattern of curvature fringes can be completely eliminated from the curvature fringes. Thus the pattern of pure curvature fringes with a good contrast can be obtained. Theoretical analysis and experimental results are given in this paper.     

Multiple-surface interference fringes analysis basing on wavelength-modulated phase shifting interferometry

Phase-shifting interferometry is widely used for high-precision surface measurements, but has difficulty in dealing with parallel optical plates. In this paper, an advanced method is proposed to simultaneously measure surface distributions of parallel optical plates from multiple surface interference fringes. The basic theory behind the technique is by applying wavelength-modulated phase shifting interferometry (WMPSI) to get enough frames of multiple surface interference fringes. In the procession of wavelength-modulated phase shifting, the phase variation for one point of the surface is traced and is processed by Fourier transform, and then the frequency spectrum of every surface can be separated from each other. Therefore, it allows extraction of front surface, back surface and thickness variation from multiple surface interference fringes with high precision.

Resolution-enhanced Fourier transform method for the estimation of multiple phases in interferometry

A phase shifting method based on high-resolution frequency estimation and Fourier transform technique is introduced. This method, also referred to as the eigenvector method, draws on the complementary strengths of both these methods. The salient feature of the method lies in its ability to handle nonsinusoidal wave-forms, multiple piezoelectric transducers, and arbitrary phase steps in an optical configuration. The method does not need the addition of carrier fringes to separate the spectral contents in the intensity fringes. The proposed concept thus overcomes the limitations of methods based on Fourier transform techniques. The robustness of the proposed method is studied in the presence of noise.     

Calibration of a low-cost piezoelectrical mirror for DSPI

A cheap piezoelectrically driven mirror can be easily constructed in the laboratory. It can be located in one arm of a DSPI interferometer in order to introduce a controlled phase step. A procedure to calibrate this device is shown, that is based on the evaluation of the fringes obtained with the interferometer, by mean of the cross-correlation between profiles of the fringes. To evaluate the performance of the calibrated device, the phase map of a simulated plane object is calculated, using the four-step algorithm for the images of a speckle interferogram.     

Statistical searching of deformation phases on wavelet transform maps of fringe patterns

A wavelet transform (WT) analysis is presented to obtain the deformation phases from the fringes with non-uniform carrier frequency, which may appear in the pattern of varied-periodic fringes generated in displacement measurement. Based on the phase maps of the Morlet WT coefficients distributed in a space-scale spectrum, a statistical processing is carried out to search the compacted density of the phase intervals over the scale, and from that the phase modulations related to the object deformation can be determined. Numerical simulation demonstrates the validity of the pattern-processing technique, and the experimental results show the applications to the measurement of the in-plane displacement by the digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) and the measurement of the out-of-plane deflection by the projecting Moiré fringes.     

Contrast enhanced and phase controlled stroboscopic additive fibre optic TV-holography for whole field out-of-plane vibration analysis

A new technique for real-time contrast enhancement and phase control of fringes in additive Stroboscopic TV-holography applied to out-of-plane vibration analysis and its implementation on a fibre-optic electronic speckle pattern interferometer (FOESPI) are presented. Synchronous Stroboscopic illumination, firing two pulses per object vibration period, is combined with simultaneous inter-pulse (high frequency) and inter-frame (low frequency) phase modulation in the reference arm of the ESPI yielding a sequence of frames (interferograms) that are grabbed and processed in real-time. With this technique both speckle and fringe phases are independently controlled by means of the parameters of modulation enabling speckle contrast inversion, as required to enhance the visibility of fringes by sequential subtraction, as well as dynamic fringe phase shifting to solve peakvalley ambiguities.

Holographic interferometry using a reference wave with a sinusoidally modulated amplitude

A method of holographic interferometry which uses an amplitude-modulated reference wave is proposed for investigating vibration phases. Sinusoidal amplitude modulation of a reference wave yields hologram fringes which are characterized by a function J²₁(α)cos²Δ, where α and Δ are related to vibration amplitudes and phases on object points, respectively. The resultant fringes indicate that vibration amplitude information and phase information are stored separately. The phase information of the vibration is easily obtained as brightness variations of the fringes, independently of the amplitude information.
