In the practical application of speckle pattern interferometry, it is often necessary to measure the deformation or defect of some specimens placed in boxes. Transparent glass observation windows are often used on one side of these boxes. In laser speckle pattern interferometry, the glass windows often cause local overexposure in the field of view, which has a great influence on the measurement. A method for identification and elimination of overexposed areas based on polarized optics is proposed. A polarization camera is used for image acquisition; polaroid is used to filter out stray and chaotic interference light, greatly reducing the overexposed area in the imaging field of view, and then feature extraction technology is used to identify and extract the overexposed area caused by the glass window. Finally, according to the measurement information around the overexposed area, the phase of the overexposed area is fitted and corrected, so as to obtain the speckle pattern interferometry measurement results without overexposed points. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively extract and eliminate the overexposed area, and good measurement results can be obtained.
In the practical application of speckle pattern interference, it is often necessary to measure the deformation or defects of some specimens placed in the box. Transparent glass observation windows are usually used on one side of these boxes. In the measurement of laser speckle pattern interference, glass windows often cause overexposure in a certain area of the field of view, which has a great influence on the measurement. In this paper, a method of recognizing and eliminating high reflective region based on polaroid is proposed. By adjusting the polaroid to filter the stray and chaotic obtrusive light, the overexposed area in the field of view is greatly reduced, and then the exposure area caused by glass windows in the field of view is identified and extracted by feature extraction technology. Finally, the overexposed area is interpolated and filled according to the surrounding region information to obtain the measurement map without overexposure. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively extract and eliminate the overexposed area, and good measurement results are obtained.
Shearography is a very effective non-destructive testing method for detecting the internal defects of composite materials. How to improve the detection efficiency of this technique to help achieve the rapid and automatic recognition of multiple defects has always been a hot research topic for researchers. Based on the results of the shearography, we propose a method to identify multiple defects in the phase map using the spatial characteristics of Freeman chain code. First of all, we use Canny operator to binarize the phase map, then refine the fringe by morphological means, and finally identify the defects by the spatial characteristics chain code. In addition, Otsu is used to assist in judging the fracture or incomplete defects. For the fringes under vacuum loading or thermal loading, this method can detect the defects quickly and successfully. The theoretical description is given and the effectiveness and practicability of the method are verified by experiments.
Because the sensitivity of shearography is determined by its shearing direction, aeolotropic defects could be difficult to detect in nondestructive testing (NDT) using a digital shearography system with a single shearing direction. We report an adjustable aperture multiplexing spatial phase-shift digital shearography system for simultaneous measurement of displacement derivatives in three directions. By setting the aperture parameters properly, three spatial carrier frequencies are produced within the speckle pattern, and the information of three interferograms can be separated in the frequency domain. Phase maps of the three shearograms can be obtained by applying a windowed inverse Fourier transform, which enables simultaneous measurement of the displacement derivative. The system is suitable for NDT with a dynamic load. The capability of the triple-directional spatial phase-shift digital shearography system is described by theoretical discussions as well as experiments.
Many works around the digital speckle correlation (DSC) are to improve the computational efficiency and measurement accuracy in recent years. This work aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of DSC for both single-point and full-field points used in mechanical properties test of materials. For this purpose, first, a subpixel initial guess for the inverse compositional Gauss–Newton algorithm (IC-GN) with the first-order shape function is introduced for single-point image registration. Then, with the aid of strategy of subset image edge extend interpolation (SIEEI), the efficiency and accuracy of full-field displacement and deformation measurement are improved simultaneously. The SIEEI is employed to reduce mean squared difference errors caused by traditional bicubic interpolation algorithm. Comparative studies between the traditional IC-GN algorithm and the proposed algorithms are presented using simulated speckle images and CCD images. The proposed method achieves more executive efficiency and more accuracy for single-point and full-field points image registration. The computational efficiency of the proposed algorithms increases 7.5% for full-field registration using CCD images. The mean of squared difference errors of the SIEEI method is less than the traditional bicubic interpolation algorithm. The presented approach shows great potentials for challenging application, such as mechanical properties test of materials.
