Multiplicative electronic speckle-pattern interferometry fringes

A theoretical analysis of fringe patterns and its experimental corroboration obtained by multiplication of two speckled images with electronic speckle-pattern interferometry (ESPI) are reported. A specifically designed digital filter is used to enhance the contrast and visibility of the inherently noisy multiplication fringes. Phase retrieval is achieved by a phase-stepping technique. Experimental results are presented for the in-plane-sensitive optical ESPI setup; however, out-of-plane and shearing setups may be used as well. The method represents an alternative to the subtraction and addition techniques in ESPI.     

SBS改性沥青高温流变性能与相态结构的关系

为量化表征SBS改性沥青网络化程度,确定控制其高温性能的形态学参数,采用荧光形态学方法、多重应力蠕变回复试验、频率扫描试验分别对5种掺量、6个剪切时间的线型SBS改性沥青在64℃下的荧光数字图像、不可恢复蠕变柔量、频率敏感性进行了定量分析。结果表明:通过增大改性剂掺量、延长剪切时间,SBS改性沥青高温流变性能得到改善。SBS掺量低于5%时,仅靠延长剪切时间无法形成网络结构;相同剪切时间下,增大SBS掺量即可形成网络结构。本文选取图像连通域和面积比率共同描述SBS改性沥青的相态变化特征,并建立了流变指标与形态学参数间的关系模型,为直接利用形态学方法预估、评价改性沥青高温性能提供理论依据。     

Numerical and experimental applications of the least-squares method to determine mode-II stress intensity factors for double fillet welded lap joints

Due to its simplicity, the least-squares method provides an efficient means to evaluate the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of cracks in complicated structures. This paper demonstrates numerical and experimental applications of the least-squares method to study mode-II SIFs of double fillet welded lap joints. In the numerical application, double fillet welded lap joints with different geometric parameters, including overlap length, weld leg size, plate thickness and plate length, were systematically analysed by the finite-element method combined with the least-squares method. The computed SIF results were then employed to develop the general formulae of the shearing fracture mode (mode-II) stress intensity factors. To validate the numerical results, three double fillet welded lap joint specimens were tested by a non-contact optical experiment using a common digital camera and a proposed image processing scheme. The measured crack shearing displacements near the crack tip were substituted into the least-squares procedure to obtain the SIFs of the specimens. The numerical and experimental results were in good agreement with the existing numerical results for double fillet welded lap joints provided in the handbook (Murakami, 1987). The non-contact optical experiment makes the field measurement of SIFs possible, which is very useful for fracture analysis or fatigue evaluation of structures like steel bridges, naval structures and offshore structures.     

Acousto-optical wideband correlator system: design, implementation, and evaluation

We describe the design and development of an acousto-optical wideband correlator that we integrated into a digital signal-processing system testbed. We report its measured performance and compare it with various theoretical performance measures, one of which compares the optical system with an equivalent efficient digital correlator. The measured performance of the optical system was 20 to 70 times that of a VAX 6410 computer using a fast-Fourier-transform correlation algorithm and a vector processor, even though the electronic interface system limited the performance of the optical system to less than 0.5% of its potential. We also compare the system with commercially available digital signal-processing boards.     

Secure three-dimensional data transmission and display

An optical three-dimensional (3D) display system interfaced with digital data transmission is proposed. In this system, an original 3D object is encrypted by use of a random phase mask and then the encrypted pattern is recorded as a digital hologram. The digital hologram key is also recorded for optical decryption. Both the encrypted digital hologram and the digital hologram key are transmitted to a receiver through a conventional communication data channel. At the receiver, the 3D scene is reconstructed and displayed optically in a retrieval system based on a joint-transform correlation. Experimental results are presented. We investigate the influence of quantization of the joint power spectrum in the optical correlator on the quality of the reconstructed image.     

Pattern recognition with a digital holographic microscope working in partially coherent illumination

We describe the implementation of the automatic spatial-frequency-selection filter for recognition of patterns obtained with a digital holographic microscope working with a partially coherent source. The microscope provides the complex-optical-amplitude field that allows a refocusing plane-by-plane of the sample under investigation by numerical computation of the optical propagation. By inserting a correlation filter in the propagation equation, the correlation between the filter and the propagated optical field is obtained. In this way, the pattern is located in the direction of the optical axis. Owing to the very weak noise level generated by the partially coherent source, the correlation process is shift invariant. Therefore the samples can be located in the three dimensions. To have a robust recognition process, a generalized version of the automatic spatial-frequency-selection filters has been implemented. The method is experimentally demonstrated in a two-class problem for the recognition of protein crystals.     

Semiautomated analytical image correlation

Machine vision refers to computer programs consisting of a collection of pattern recognition and digital image processing algorithms (Fabel, G. Motion Control 2000, 53-54). A version of machine vision has been applied to correlating digital images generated by optical microscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). By suitable application of image processing algorithms, semiautomated correlation between optical and secondary ion images is possible. For correlation of minor constituents evident in secondary ion images but invisible in optical images, correlation is performed by reference to the relative position of minor to major constituents. Precise coordinates of features apparent in one analytical image can be translated into the corresponding coordinates of an analytical image obtained by a different method. In principle, this capability yields a semiautomated system to combine complementary features of disparate imaging methods, such as secondary ion and optical microscopy.

Dual-hologram shearing interferometry with regulated sensitivity

A novel optical diagnostic technique, namely, dual-hologram shearing interferometry with regulated sensitivity, is proposed for visualization and measuring of the density gradients of compressible flows in wind tunnels. It is superior to conventional shearing interferometry in both accuracy and sensitivity. The method is especially useful for strong turbulent or unsteady regions of the flows, including shock flows. The interferometer has proved to be insensitive to mechanical vibrations and has allowed us to record holograms during the noisy wind-tunnel run. The proposed approach is demonstrated by application to a supersonic flow over spherically blunted and sharp nose-cone-cylinder models. We believe that the technique will become an effective tool for receiving optical data in many flow facilities.     

Amplitude and phase reconstruction by radial shearing interferometry

We describe a new procedure for retrieving both amplitude and phase of an optical beam from radial shearing measurements. Information from the sheared interferogram is used to estimate and improve the beam and wavefront shape in successive iterations. We present computer simulations and experimental results that show the performance of the method.

Color Measurement. Theme and Variations

It has generally been assumed that a radial shearing interferometer cannot be used to test a mirror with a central hole. We show that this can be done by a proper choice of the shear ratio and the use of digital techniques of measurement and analysis.     

Solution to the shearing problem

Lateral shearing interferometry is a promising reference-free measurement technique for optical wave-front reconstruction. The wave front under study is coherently superposed by a laterally sheared copy of itself, and from the interferogram difference measurements of the wave front are obtained. From these difference measurements the wave front is then reconstructed. Recently, several new and efficient algorithms for evaluating lateral shearing interferograms have been suggested. So far, however, all evaluation methods are somewhat restricted, e.g., assume a priori knowledge of the wave front under study, or assume small shears, and so on. Here a new, to our knowledge, approach for the evaluation of lateral shearing interferograms is presented, which is based on an extension of the difference measurements. This so-called natural extension allows for reconstruction of that part of the underlying wave front whose information is contained in the given difference measurements. The method is not restricted to small shears and allows for high lateral resolution to be achieved. Since the method uses discrete Fourier analysis, the reconstructions can be efficiently calculated. Furthermore, it is shown that, by application of the method to the analysis of two shearing interferograms with suitably chosen shears, exact reconstruction of the underlying wave front at all evaluation points is obtained up to an arbitrary constant. The influence of noise on the results obtained by this reconstruction procedure is investigated in detail, and its stability is shown. Finally, applications to simulated measurements are presented. The results demonstrate high-quality reconstructions for single shearing interferograms and exact reconstructions for two shearing interferograms.     

Incoherent fractional Fourier transform and its optical implementation

The fractional Fourier transform is redefined for working with incoherent light. As a real transformation, the incoherent fractional Fourier transform overcomes coherent system disadvantages such as the speckle effect and the need for incoherent-coherent conversion. It also might have some applications for digital image and signal processing owing to its decreased computing complexity. An incoherent optical implementation of the new transform based on the shearing interferometer is suggested. Laboratory experimental results are given.     

Characterization of dynamic microgyroscopes by use of temporal digital image correlation

The advanced mechanical testing of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is necessary to provide feedback of measurements that can help the designer optimize MEMS structures and improve the reliability and stability of MEMS. We describe a digital image correlation (DIC) method for dynamic characterization of MEMS using an optical microscope with a high-speed complementary metaloxide semiconductor-based camera. The mechanical performance of a series of microgyroscopes is tested. The DIC method is employed to measure the microgyroscope in-plane displacement with subpixel accuracy. Use of the DIC method is less restrictive on the surface quality of the specimen and simplifies the measurement system. On the basis of a series of temporal digital images grabbed by a high-speed camera, the stability characteristic of the microgyroscopes is analyzed. In addition, the quality factors of the microgyroscopes are determined and agree well with other experimental methods.     

Identification of antinodes and zero-surface-strain contours of flexural vibration with time-averaged speckle pattern shearing interferometry

A new time-averaged frame subtraction technique is introduced for vibration analysis by digital speckle shearing interferometry. The technique permits the enhancement of fringes by subtracting two Bessel fringe patterns at different forcing levels. Compared with the phase-shift method, this method is more efficient and easier to implement for qualitative vibration measurement, providing a means for fast inspection of plate vibration behavior. It is also capable of tracing contours of zero strain and locating antinodes on vibrating plates.     

Application of correlation filters for texture recognition

We propose a new statistical method to design spatial filters to recognize and to discriminate between various textures. Unlike existing correlation filters, the proposed filters are not meant to recognize specific shapes or objects. Rather, they discriminate between textures such as terrains, background surfaces, and random image fields. The filters do not require any on-line statistical computations for extracting texture information. Therefore optical (or digital) correlators can be used for fast real-time texture recognition without segmentation. The procedure is based on the assumption that textures can be modeled as stationary random processes over limited regions of an image. The optimum filter coefficients are determined by use of eigenvector analysis. Several examples are given to illustrate the proposed scheme.     

Cascaded linear shift-invariant processors in optical pattern recognition

We study a cascade of linear shift-invariant processing modules (correlators), each augmented with a nonlinear threshold as a means to increase the performance of high-speed optical pattern recognition. This configuration is a special class of multilayer, feed-forward neural networks and has been proposed in the literature as a relatively fast best-guess classifier. However, it seems that, although cascaded correlation has been proposed in a number of specific pattern recognition problems, the importance of the configuration has been largely overlooked. We prove that the cascaded architecture is the exact structure that must be adopted if a multilayer feed-forward neural network is trained to produce a shift-invariant output. In contrast with more generalized multilayer networks, the approach is easily implemented in practice with optical techniques and is therefore ideally suited to the high-speed analysis of large images. We have trained a digital model of the system using a modified backpropagation algorithm with optimization using simulated annealing techniques. The resulting cascade has been applied to a defect recognition problem in the canning industry as a benchmark for comparison against a standard linear correlation filter, the minimum average correlation energy (MACE) filter. We show that the nonlinear performance of the cascade is a significant improvement over that of the linear MACE filter in this case.
