Consideration of Fractional Fringe Method on the Basis of the Least Squares Method

The traditional fractional fringe method has been applied to measure 1-dimensional size of a block gauge using multiple wavelengths. Recently, similar methods have been used in pattern interferometry and also in pattern projection profilometry. However, the technique does not seem to be based on a well-established principle. In this paper, the fractional fringe method is formulated on the basis of the least squares method and on its basis effects of errors in fractional fringes and wavelengths are analyzed and the effective selection of wavelengths is considered.     

Method for eliminating zero spectrum in Fourier transform profilometry

Windowed Fourier transform (FT) is introduced into Fourier transform profilometry (FTP) to extract zero component included in deformed fringe pattern without capturing two fringe patterns with π phase difference. First, we extract zero component of deformed fringe image using windowed FT and normalize it, then calculate the normalized Fourier spectra of deformed fringe image, finally subtract the zero component from Fourier spectra of deformed fringe image. We give the theoretical analysis of the proposed method. The experiment is carried out to demonstrate that the method can eliminate zero component and extend the measurable slope of height variation to nearly three times of the conventional FTP.     

Young's fringes analysis with a computer image-processing system

A two-dimensional Fourier transform analysis is presented for numerically processing the Young's fringes diffraction pattern from a double- exposure speckle photograph. The fringe spacing and orientation are determined using only one Young's fringes pattern without any other diffraction halo patterns. This algorithm is based on the 2-D FFT of the fringe pattern with 256 × 256 pixels. Therefore, it enables automatic analysis to be performed on specklegram with noisy and poor fringe patterns. The measurement of deformation by the laser speckle method can be carried out with high accuracy, reliability and speed.     

Fourier transform profilometry based on composite structured light pattern

In Fourier transform profilometry (FTP), the zero frequency of the imaged patterns will influence the measurement range and precision. The π phase shifting technique is usually used to eliminate the zero order component, but this method requires the capture of two fringe patterns with a π phase difference between them, which will impede the real time application of the method. In this paper, a novel method is proposed, in which a composite structured light pattern is projected onto the object. The composite structured light pattern is formed by modulating two separate fringe patterns with a π phase difference along the orthogonal direction of the two distinct carrier frequencies. This method can eliminate the zero frequency by using only one fringe pattern. Experiments show that there is no decrease in the precision of this novel method compared with the traditional π phase shifting technique.

Photoelastic stress pattern analysis using Fourier transform with carrier fringes: influence of quarter-wave plate error

The Fourier transform method, widely applied in photomechanics for the automated analysis of interferometric fringe patterns, has been recently extended to the photoelastic isochromatic fringe patterns analysis. Unfortunately, its use in photoelasticity involves some limitations that have not been completely highlighted in literature. This work deals with the influence of the quarter-wave plate tolerance on the evaluation of the retardation. Both theoretical and experimental analyses have shown that the quarter-wave plate error does not affect the retardation only if the principal stress directions in the model and in the carrier are aligned. In general, instead, the tolerance of the quarter-wave plates leads to an amplification of the retardation error due to the influence of the isoclinics with a subsequent restriction of the field in which the method can be applied. For instance, using common quarter-wave plates and tolerating a maximum retardation error of about 0.03 fringe order, than the Fourier transform method cannot be applied as a full-field technique but only in the model zones in which the misalignment between the principal stresses in the model and in the carrier is less than 15°.     

Fractional derivative applied to the retrieval of phase distribution from an interferogram

This paper proposes a new method for determining the phase distribution of a 2D fringe pattern using 2D fractional derivatives. The fractional derivative of order?r (real 0??r??3), in the ?? direction (????[0,2??]) is defined by the Fourier transform and its inverse and gives as result a phase distribution. The fractional derivative of order r produces a phase displacement of r??/2 without significantly changes in normalized amplitude distribution. There are optimum values of r and ?? for which the phase distribution given by the fractional derivative represents the phase distribution for the fringe pattern. Also, we demonstrate the usefulness of a method based on four fractional derivatives to determine the phase and intensity distribution from a single interferogram and highlights small objects located in the fringe pattern. We demonstrate the proposed method using both numerical simulated and experimental interferograms.     

High-speed fringe analysis by using stair-shaped virtual grating demodulation

This article describes a novel fringe analysis technique using stair-shaped virtual grating demodulation algorithm for extracting the phase information from a single fringe pattern. In contrast to the Fourier transform technique and quadrature multiplicative moire method, the new method processes a fringe pattern in the integer signal domain instead of the frequency domain and real-signal domain. The spatial carrier of fringe image is not limited to any particular frequency as long as it fulfills the sampling theorem. The errors analysis of this technique is conducted by computer simulation and experiments.     

Deformation and profile measurement using the digital projection grating method

This paper presents a digital projection grating method for full field measurement of out-of-plane deformation and shape of an object. Two grating patterns on an object before and after deformation are captured by a CCD camera and stored in a computer. With the aid of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and signal demodulating techniques, a wrapped phase map is generated. The phases are expanded in the range of 0–2π and compared with the resulting moiré pattern. An unwrapping procedure is used to obtain a continuous phase. In addition, a digital method for fractional fringe multiplication is also developed. Results on deformation and object profile measurements are presented.

Using coloured structured light in 3-D surface measurement

The widest used algorithms for 3-D surface measurement using structured fringe patterns are phase stepping and Fourier fringe analysis. The techniques currently employed use mostly monochrome fringe patterns as a tool for phase information measurement and further surface reconstruction. However, the information contained in colour images is much more than that of monochrome, in this case, a new colour technique can be employed to analyse a measured scene with colour fringe patterns.This paper presents a new method for improving the measurement of 3-D shapes by using colour information of the measured scene as an additional parameter. The new method is based on primary colours (red, green and blue) to increase the number of the illuminated fringe patterns, which will remove or significantly reduce the common drawbacks of existing methods. The proposed technique produces a number of coloured structured lighting patterns, which are projected from different angles onto the scene. These patterns are analysed using masking algorithms, a specially adapted multi-colour version of the standard Fourier fringe analysis method and calibration routines. In this way a number of the standard difficulties are overcome.

Orthogonal projection technique for resolution enhancement of the Fourier transform fringe analysis method

The spatial resolution of the phase map in the Fourier transform fringe analysis method is determined by the size of the filter’s window in frequency domain. This article reports a straightforward technique to improve the method’s resolution by a factor of nearly two. The technique requires capturing a second image with a fringe pattern orthogonal to the first one, therefore using the information from both patterns to eliminate the central component in frequency space. The resulting spectrum supports double sized filter windows for removal of the carrier frequency without leaking into adjacent orders. The overall spatial resolution of the method is thus increased. In the following, the Fourier fringe analysis method is briefly reviewed, the new technique is described and analyzed and the experimental results are shown and discussed.     

A comparison of phase shifting and fourier methods in the analysis of discontinuous fringe patterns

Phase Shifting Interferometry is a highly accurate data acquisition technique that efficiently utilizes several frames of information for each measurement. In this work, the advantages of phase shifting have been applied to a conventional moiré interferometer, yielding a system capable of recording phase shifted fringe patterns for both in-plane displacement components. Using this method, the phase of a wavefront of interest can be determined at each detector location, so that the resolution of the phase measurements is limited primarily by the detector discrimination and geometry. Unlike traditional Fourier fringe analysis, the noise rejection of phase shift processing algorithms does not degrade image fidelity in the presence of edges and discontinuities. A general discussion of both the phase shifting technique and the Fourier fringe analysis method is included to provide insight into the problems of processing discontinuous fringe patterns.

Defect information detection of a spare part by using a dual-frequency line-scan method

The surface defect of a moving spare part is measured by a line-scan system online. The experimental system is combined with a line-scan CCD, a LCD projector, a translation stage, and a personal computer. The deformed fringe patterns of the spare part can be captured and stored in the personal computer. The Fourier transform method is used to extract the fringe deformation. Following the geometric relationship between the fringe deformation and the surface height, the full-field surface 3D information can be obtained. Furthermore, the projection dual-frequency composite grating technique is used to solve 2π phase ambiguity problem because of some bigger surface defect steps. Some experimental results are presented to prove the feasibility of the proposed method and the inspection system.     

The use of fractional orders in the determination of birefringence of highly dispersive materials by the channelled spectrum method

The channelled spectrum employing polarized light interference is a very convenient method for the study of dispersion of birefringence. However, while using this method, the absolute order of the polarized light interference fringes cannot be determined easily. Approximate methods are therefore used to estimate the order. One of the approximations is that the dispersion of birefringence across neighbouring integer order fringes is negligible. In this paper, we show how this approximation can cause errors. A modification is reported whereby the error in the determination of absolute fringe order can be reduced using fractional orders instead of integer orders. The theoretical background for this method supported with computer simulation is presented. An experimental arrangement implementing these modifications is described. This method uses a Constant Deviation Spectrometer (CDS) and a Soleil Babinet Compensator (SBC).
