Abstract: An apparatus and a method capable of measuring large deformation with a high accuracy and dynamically, using speckle interference, utilizes an optical path where one laser beam out of two laser beams becomes non-collimated light and a plane parallel transparent plate, and can form carrier fringes. More specifically, the transparent plate is arranged on the optical path where the non-collimated light is formed, or is removed from the optical path, or a refractive index, or a thickness of the transparent plate arranged on the optical path, or a tilt angle relative to an optical axis is changed. The phase analysis can be performed from fringe images corresponding to the deformation, by performing repetitively the above-described processing and acquisition of the speckle interference pattern.

The remote controller provides a command signal indicative of a position of the throttle valve unit. A watercraft velocity sensor senses an actual speed of the watercraft to provide an actual speed signal. A control data input device selectively provides a control device with a manual mode signal and a constant speed mode signal. The constant speed mode signal is accompanied by a target speed signal. The control device controls the throttle valve unit based upon the command signal in the manual mode. The control device controls the throttle valve unit in the constant speed mode such that an actual speed of the watercraft coincides with the target speed of the watercraft once a state of equilibrium is reached.
