ABSTRACT
The method presented extracts the demodulated phase from only one fringe pattern. Locally, this method approaches the fringe pattern morphology with the help of a mathematical model. The degree of similarity between the mathematical model and the real fringe is estimated by minimizing a correlation function. To use an optimization process, we have chosen a polynomial form such as a mathematical model. However, the use of a polynomial form induces an identification procedure with the purpose of retrieving the demodulated phase. This method, polynomial modulated phase correlation, is tested on several examples. Its performance, in terms of speed and precision, is presented on very noised fringe patterns.
ABSTRACT
We present a method for determining the demodulated phase from a single fringe pattern. This method, based on a correlation technique, searches in a zone of interest for the degree of similarity between a real fringe pattern and a mathematical model. This method, named modulated phase correlation, is tested with different examples.
