Abstract: | Abstract: Phase‐shifting digital holography is a useful method to measure the displacement distribution and the strain distribution of an object surface. The complex amplitude distribution of an object surface is obtained as the complex amplitude distribution at a reconstruction distance. It is, however, difficult to measure the reconstruction distance by actual measurement. We discovered that the standard deviation of the intensity on the reconstructed image becomes the maximum value when the reconstruction distance is the same as the actual optical path length. The displacement distributions are obtained for the x‐, y‐ and z‐directions. When the normal direction of an object surface inclines from the z‐direction, the displacements defined on the xyz‐coordinate system should be transformed into the object coordinate system. It is, therefore, required to develop a measurement method of the orientation of the object to obtain the parameters for transforming from the xyz‐coordinate system into the object coordinate system. In this paper, the method to identify the position and the orientation of a specimen using the standard deviation of the intensity distribution is proposed. |
