Abstract

This paper describes some steps taken to implement practical holo-interferometric measurement for use in an industrial setting. These include the use of optical fiber cables and bundles to greatly simplify optical setups and allow holo-interferometric measurements to be carried out in remote or otherwise inaccessible locations; the use of special holocameras to produce holographic images in situ within a few seconds; and perhaps most importantly, a method for using an image digitizing system with a minicomputer to automatically access and analyze holo-interferometric fringe patterns.
