  • Patent number: 6943870
    Abstract: A deformation measuring method using electronic speckle pattern interferometry comprises the steps of subtracting an average intensity from the intensity in a time domain at each point of a speckle pattern image so as to compute the cosine component of intensity; subjecting the cosine component to Hilbert transform in a temporal domain so as to compute the sine component of intensity; determining the arctangent of the ratio between thus computed sine and cosine components so as to determine an object phase; carrying out an unwrapping operation; and outputting three-dimensional deformation distribution data in a displayable mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 2, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2005
    Assignee: President of Saitama University

  • Publication number: 20010052977
    Abstract: An imaging spectral device for use in the spectrum image analysis for performing the spectroscopic analysis of the respective points in two dimensional field is disclosed. The device comprises an imaging spectral device composing a white-light source to illuminate an object to be measured, a tunable filter located in the optical path between the object and the white-light source, a driving mechanism for wavelength scanning of the tunable filter, and a control unit in which scanning rate of transmitting wavelength of the tunable filter is controlled by the above-mentioned driving mechanism in such a manner that the spectral transmittance of the tunable filter integrated within the exposure time becomes desired spectral distribution of the object to be measured.
