To address these challenges, a demodulation method for OAMI using the four-spot light-intensity (FSLI) signals was firstly put forward and demonstrated in experiment. By using a 1-to-7 fan-out bundles, these FSLI signals at the fixed azimuthal positions on petal-like interference patterns (interferograms) were detected and precisely sampled using photodetectors-based acquisition devices. Then, a random four-step azimuthal phase-shifting algorithm was firstly proposed to quickly demodulate the measured phases from these signals. As a result, linear motions and periodic vibrations were precisely reconstructed.

This paper proposes a comprehensive correction method for geometric distortion in the interferograms. Firstly, the sources of geometric distortion in the interferogram are analyzed, including geometric distortion from the measurement optical path and the optical component error. Secondly, a correction model is established combining the effects of component pose errors and lens distortion on the measurement results, and a six-parameter iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal parameters of the model.

To address this challenge, we propose a spatio-temporal fusion thermography (STFT) method that enables high-precision of surface defects detection. The method primarily establishes a theoretical model by integrating spatial and temporal gradient information from dynamic thermal sequences, with thermal propagation being estimated using optical flow method. The verification experiment on metal surface defects indicates that the STFT method is capable of reliably detecting surface microcracks as small as 3 μm in width. And it can effectively eliminate the impact of uneven temperature distribution on the test specimens and significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the defect images.

Digital holography, avoiding the cumbersome chemical processing and capturing instantaneous dynamics with high resolution and precision, has been widely used for high-speed particle field characterization. Currently, two primary approaches are normally employed for particle characterization: extended-focus-image and reconstructed 3D data slices. The former struggles with accurate segmentation under significant interference, while the latter meets challenges of low computational efficiency in particle fields with fewer particle existence. Moreover, practically existed class imbalance phenomenon caused by size differences and irregular shapes also severely impacts characterization accuracy. To address these issues, we propose the Multiview Sparsity Quantification based Class-manifold Orthogonalization (MSCO) method, featuring a two-step framework. In the first step, the Multi-view Sparsity Quantification Network (MSQNet) employs dimensionality reduction to extract particle-contained regions. The Grouped Feature Orthogonal Network (GFONet) in the second step locates the focal layers and morphologically characterizes particles using feature reorganization and grouped feature orthogonalization. The method is evaluated on four kinds of particle field data.
