Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for analyzing multispectral images from a plurality of regions of birefringent material, such as a polymer film, using polarized light and a corresponding polar analyzer to identify differential strain in the birefringent material. For example, the birefringement material may be low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride, polyester, nylon, or cellophane film. Optionally, the method includes generating a real-time quantitative strain map.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for displaying three-dimensional images. The device of the present invention displays a holographic transform reflected from a light modulation device onto an active image reconstructor to create real-time, three-dimensional moving holograms from a single light beam.
