Electronic speckle pattern interferometry based on spatial information using only two sheets of speckle patterns

Abstract

Speckle interferometry is an important deformation measurement method for an object with a rough surface. In this paper, a novel fringe analysis method is proposed that uses a new optical system, which uses a plane wave as the reference beam of the speckle interferometer. When the optical system is employed in fringe analysis, the deformation information and the bias components of the speckle patterns are clearly separated in the frequency domain. Therefore, the deformation information can be readily extracted using a Fourier transform, which gives a pair of real and imaginary components concerning the information. The specklegram is calculated using such a pair of components, and the phase map is obtained from the specklegram. Experimental results confirmed that the resolution power of this measurement method is higher than 1/261 of the wavelength of the light source of the optical system.     

Fringe analysis method for electronic speckle pattern interferometry using only speckle patterns before and after deformation

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry is employed in many industrial fields as a useful deformation measurement method. However, two speckle patterns obtained before and after the deformation are necessary for measurement. Furthermore, at least three speckle patterns are required for high resolution measurement using ordinary fringe scanning technologies. In this paper, a novel method that can measure high speed deformations using a limited number of speckle patterns without using high speed cameras is proposed. The method enables application to dynamic deformation analysis because the method involves analysis using only two speckle patterns obtained before and after the deformation. A novel optical system that can record some spatial information into each speckle is set up for the method. In experimental results, it is confirmed that the out-of-plane deformation measurement can be precisely performed by the method and that the resolution power is almost equivalent to that of the ordinary method.     

Digital speckle pattern interferometry using spatial phase shifting: influence of intensity and phase gradients

Spatial phase shifting technique in digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) and digital shearography (DS) provides the phase information due to the object displacement from two images, one stored before and other after loading. The technique needs a carrier fringe system. The double aperture mask in front of the imaging system is one of the methods for introducing the spatial carrier frequency for phase evaluation. The size of the apertures and their separation are important criteria to obtain appropriate phase shift/column within the desired size of the speckle for phase retrieval. The assumptions of constant intensity and phase on adjacent pixels of the camera while calculating phase in spatial phase shifting (SPS) are not met as the speckled object wave contains intensity and phase gradients, resulting in distortions in the calculated phase profiles. In this paper we discuss a strategy to overcome these problems. The contrast of the correlation fringe obtained using this approach is much improved. It also eliminates the distortion in the unwrapped phase map like wave ripples. The experimental results on an edge clamped circular plate loaded at the center are presented.     

Numerical analysis of fringe patterns recorded in holographic interferometry using high-order ambiguity function

This letter introduces a new approach for the demodulation of fringe patterns recorded in holographic interferometry using high-order ambiguity function (HAF). The proposed approach is capable of retrieving the phase from a single fringe pattern. The main advantage of this approach is that it directly provides an estimation of the continuous phase distribution and thereby avoids the necessity of using a cumbersome 2D phase unwrapping procedure. This method first computes the discrete-time analytic signal of the recorded fringe pattern. Then, by modelling this analytic signal as a polynomial phase signal embedded in additive complex white Gaussian noise, a parametric estimation procedure based on HAF is employed to directly estimate the unwrapped phase distribution. Numerical simulations and experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach.     

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry on a microscopic scale

An electronic speckle pattern interferometer that incorporates a commercial, long-working-distance microscope is described which provides new opportunities to perform nondestructive inspection for applications in fields such as microelectronics. The long-working-distance microscrope was attached directly to the CCD camera to form a compact, portable system with a field of view that was variable over several mm in width. Alignment was greatly simplified because the skewed Michelson interferometer configuration used a speckled reference beam imaged from a diffusely reflecting reference surface that was positioned adjacent to the test object. To demonstrate the performance of the micro-ESPI instrument, fringe patterns were recorded for the quasi-static cantilever deflection of a 1 mm-wide interconnect clip from an electronics socket.

Three-dimensional shape measurement beyond the diffraction limit of lens using speckle interferometry

Speckle interferometry is generally known as a method for measuring the deformation of an object with rough surfaces. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement method is proposed for superfine structures beyond the diffraction limit using the basic property of speckle interferometry. Since the differential coefficient distribution of the shape of such an object can be detected in speckle interferometry by imparting a known lateral shift to the measured object, the shape can be reconstructed by integrating the differential coefficient distribution. Based on experimental results obtained using diffraction gratings as measured objects, it is confirmed that the proposed method can measure 3D shapes that are beyond the diffraction limit of the lens.     

An identification method of mechanical properties of materials based on the full‐field measurement method based on the fringe pattern

With the development of image processing technology, optical methods based on fringe patterns, for example, the grid method, electronic speckle pattern interferometry, moiré techniques (including moiré interferometry and digital moiré), and coherent gradient sensing, have become useful techniques for measuring the full‐field deformation of materials and structures. An important application of these techniques is to offer deformation fields for extracting constitutive parameters in the inverse methods. In this paper, we proposed a novel inversion method based on fringe patterns (IMFP), which can be used to identify constitutive model parameters by comparing simulated fringe patterns obtained using the finite element method with experimentally measured fringe patterns. The feasibility and identification accuracy of IMFP were evaluated through numerical experiments, and an additional series of numerical tests were conducted to analyse the noise immunity of IMFP and its sensitivity to the number of constitutive model parameters. Finally, IMFP was applied in the identification of the mechanical parameters of selective laser melting three‐dimensional printed stainless steel.     

A fast 3D shape measurement method based on sinusoidal and triangular fringe projection

Existing methods to measure 3D shape of complex object involve processing more than six captured images to obtain the absolute phase, which limit the measurement speed. This paper presents two sinusoidal fringes and two triangular wave fringes which is used to measure 3D shape of complex object. The two-step phase-shifting sinusoidal fringes and two-step phase-shifting triangular wave fringes are calculated to obtain the wrapped phase, and then the two-step phase-shifting triangular wave fringes are used to determine the fringe order. Due to decrease the number of projection fringes, the speed of measurement increases. The triangular wave fringe carries more information of the object than linear increasing/decreasing ramp fringe in the actual measurement, more noise in the base phase to be overcome, thus improving the measurement accuracy. The benefits can be widely applied in high-speed, real-time 3D measurement of complex shape. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed method is simple, but effective.     

Double-exposure phase calculation method in electronic speckle pattern interferometry based on holographic object illumination

Multiple-exposure phase calculation procedures are widely used in electronic speckle pattern interferometry to calculate phase maps of displacements. We developed a double-exposure process based on holographic illumination of the object and the idea of the spatial carrier phase-shifting method to examine transient displacements. In our work, computer-generated holograms and a spatial light modulator were used to generate proper coherent illuminating masks. In this adjustment all phase-shifted states were at our disposal from one recorded speckle image for phase calculation. This technique can be used in the large scale of transient measurements. In this paper we illustrate the principle through several examples.     

Axial loading verification method for small bones using carrier fringes in speckle pattern interferometry

A computerized system for real-time displacement visualization using carrier fringes in an electronic speckle in-plane sensitive interferometer allows force calibration for micro-displacement analysis of rat bones and verification of axial loading conditions. Once the force has been calibrated and the load is applied along the bone axis, the difference-of-phase method is used to obtain the phase map, which after phase unwrapping, allows the evaluation of the displacements produced by the bone deformation. The proposed method avoids common loading mistakes using first carrier fringes to assure that the loads are within the measuring capabilities of the in-plane interferometer and the Carré phase-stepping method to compensate for linear phase step miscalibration. The experimental results obtained with the calibration of loading forces and axial loading verification show the advantages of the system proposed here over a system which uses a cantilever configuration to make a similar bone deformation analysis.

A general gamma nonlinearity compensation method for structured light measurement with off-the-shelf projector based on unique multi-step phase-shift technology

ABSTRACT

Nonlinearities in the application of fringe projection metrology make it very difficult to acquire perfect 3D data. This paper describes a six-step phase-shifting technique for a structured light measurement system with an off-the-shelf projector. First, the phase error is analysed and a gamma model is established by deriving the relative expression between the wrapped phase and input images. This is then expressed in matrix form to derive a unique solution, which is used for the gamma solver. The complex gamma calibration and projector error compensation can be removed once the gamma value of the off-the-shelf projector has been determined. The ideal model reconstruction results are obtained through simulations and experiments, and the standard deviation of the phase error is found to be only 0.0039 radians. Hence, the proposed method eliminates the nonlinear errors associated with fringe projection technology using existing projectors and improves the overall image reconstruction quality.
