RESUMEN
In this study, a common-path electronic speckle pattern interferometry system which upholds the natural property of transparency of insect's wings has been developed to measure the wings' natural frequencies and mode shapes for the first time. A novel base-exciting method was designed to enable the simultaneous application of sinusoidal and static forces to excite wings and introduce an additional phase. The moiré effect induced by the amplitude modulation was employed to accurately recognize the resonance state. Subsequently, the mode shapes were visualized by phase-shifting and real-time frame subtraction. Eight pairs of forewings from cicadas were investigated. The first three order natural frequencies of the wings are approximately 145â Hz, 272â Hz and 394â Hz, respectively, which are dispersed to prevent modal coupling. The cambered mode shapes exhibit a strongly spanwise-chordwise anisotropy flexural stiffness distribution, generally dominated by bending and twisting deformation. The details of the high-order mode shapes show that the tip exhibits distinct deformation, indicating more flexibility to cope with external impact load, and the nodal lines usually comply with the direction of the wing veins in higher modes, substantiating the fact that the veins play an important role as stiffeners of the membrane. The results are in excellent agreement with the dynamic performance of previous studies, which will potentially affect a broader community of optical measurement specialists and entomologists to enhance our understanding of time-averaged interferograms and insect flights.

This paper proposes a method to merge stereo-digital image correlation (DIC) and electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) data by camera calibration. The proposed method is employed to verify the accuracy of full-field out-of-plate displacements measured by stereo-DIC in a cantilever beam test. The mean absolute error and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the full-field displacement measured by four-megapixel cameras are 0.849 µm and 1.08 µm at 60 mm field of view, respectively, and the RMSE of the central area is 0.615 µm. The errors are not uniformly distributed because of the imperfect calibration. When the lenses are changed and the field of view reaches 120 mm, the RMSE is 1.48 µm with uniform distribution. These accuracies could be traced back to the laser wavelength to confirm the stereo-DIC data. The proposed method can be used not only to verify the full-field measurement accuracy of DIC but also to determine the rigid-body displacement for ESPI with a high-precision stereo-DIC. Thus, the displacement vector can be obtained. Furthermore, it can unify the coordinate of multiple ESPI systems to achieve a large range of high-precision three-dimensional deformation measurements.
RESUMEN
In this paper, cryptoanalysis on a binary image encryption system based on interference is conducted. In the cryptosystem under study, the binary plaintext image modulated by a random phase mask (RPM) is separated directly into two phase-only masks (POMs) as private keys. Phase wrapping operation is applied to modulate two separated POMs further for silhouette removal. The plaintext image can be reconstructed by compositing two phase-wrapped POMs. However, since the RPM used in the encryption process is irrelative to the plaintexts, it is possible to retrieve the RPM by a known-plaintext attack (KPA). And then with the help of the retrieved RPM, the information encoded in the arbitrarily given ciphertext can be reconstructed by a ciphertext-only attack (COA). Based on our analysis, a hybrid attack including a KPA and a COA with different constraints is proposed in this study. Besides, the cryptosystem under study can only be used to encode binary plaintexts, which would limit the application of this scheme in the information security. Consequently, an improved cryptosystem in which both binary and gray-scale plaintext images can be encoded is proposed. In addition, the RPM to generate two private keys in the enhanced system is dependent on the plaintexts, which makes the proposed encryption scheme immune to the proposed hybrid attack. The feasibility and effectiveness of the security-enhanced cryptosystem have been validated by numerical simulations.
RESUMEN
A three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement system using defocusing binary fringe projection can perform high-speed and flexible measurements. In this technology, determining the fringe pitch that matches the current projection's defocus amount is of great significance for an accurate measurement. In this paper, we propose an online binary fringe pitch selection framework. First, by analyzing the fringe images captured by the camera, the defocus amount of projection can be obtained. Next, based on analysis of the harmonic error and camera noise, we establish a mathematical model of the normalized phase error. The fringe pitch that minimizes this normalized phase error is then selected as the optimal fringe pitch for subsequent measurements, which can also lead to more accuracy and robust measurement results. Compared with current methods, our method does not require offline defocus-distance calibration. However, it can achieve the same effect as the offline calibration method. It is also more flexible and efficient. Our experiments validate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method.
RESUMEN
We propose a novel hyper thin 3D edge measurement technique to measure the profile of 3D outer envelope of honeycomb core structures. The width of the edges of the honeycomb core is less than 0.1 mm. We introduce a triangular layout design consisting of two cameras and one projector to measure hyper thin 3D edges and eliminate data interference from the walls. A phase-shifting algorithm and the multi-frequency heterodyne phase-unwrapping principle are applied for phase retrievals on edges. A new stereo matching method based on phase mapping and epipolar constraint is presented to solve correspondence searching on the edges and remove false matches resulting in 3D outliers. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for measuring the 3D profile of honeycomb core structures.
RESUMEN
We present a photon-counting double-random-phase encryption technique that only requires the photon-limited amplitude of the encrypted image for decryption. The double-random-phase encryption is used to encrypt an image, generating a complex image. Photon counting is applied to the amplitude of the encrypted image, generating a sparse noise-like image; however, the phase information is not retained. By not using the phase information, the encryption process is simplified, allowing for intensity detection and also less information to be recorded. Using a phase numerically generated from the correct encryption keys together with the photon-limited amplitude of the encrypted image, we are able to decrypt the image. Moreover, nonlinear correlation algorithms can be used to authenticate the decrypted image. Both amplitude-based and full-phase encryption using the proposed method are investigated. Preliminary computational results and performance evaluation are presented.
RESUMEN
A recently proposed asymmetric cryptosystem based on coherent superposition and equal modulus decomposition has shown to be robust against a specific attack. In this paper, we have shown that it is vulnerable to a newly designed attack. With this attack, an intruder is able to access the exact private key and obtain precise attack results using a phase retrieval algorithm. In addition, we have also proposed a security-enhanced asymmetric cryptosystem using a random decomposition technique and a 4f optical system. In the proposed system, random decomposition is employed to create an effective trapdoor one-way function. As a result, it is able to avoid various types of attacks and maintain the asymmetric characteristics of the cryptosystem. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the proposed method.
RESUMEN
We propose an improved method of attack on an asymmetric cryptosystem based on a phase-truncated Fourier transform. With the proposed method of attack, an attacker is able to access the exact decryption keys and obtain precise attack results. The method is based on a novel median-filtering phase-retrieval algorithm. Compared with existing attacks, the proposed attack has the following advantages: (1) exact information of the original image can be obtained in gray-scale and binary forms; (2) better computing efficiency; (3) more robust against noise and occlusion contaminations. Numerical simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. Based on the proposed method of attack, we further propose a new cryptosystem, which not only enhances the security of the system but also does not require truncated phases.
RESUMEN
This work reports an optical double-image crosstalk free encryption scheme that employs equal modulus decomposition and random masks. For the encryption, two plaintexts by a random amplitude mask and a random phase mask have been encrypted into a single ciphertext mask and two private key masks. Owing to the two random masks introduced, the functional relation between the plaintext pair and the ciphertext indirectly cause the paucity of constraints employed for the specific attack. Unlike the traditional phase-truncation-based techniques, this scheme is immune to the information leakage and different types of attacks. Furthermore, the three different diffraction distances and the illuminating wavelength also function as four additional keys to significantly reinforce the security. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the proposal.
RESUMEN
Structured-light profilometry is a powerful tool to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) profile of an object. Accurate profile acquisition is often hindered by not only the nonlinear response (i.e., gamma effect) of electronic devices but also the projection-imaging distortion of lens used in the system. In this paper, a flexible 3D profile reconstruction method based on a nonlinear iterative optimization is proposed to correct the errors caused by the lens distortion. It can be easily extended to measurements for which a more complex projection-imaging distortion model is required. Experimental work shows that the root-mean-square (RMS) error is reduced by eight times and highly accurate results with errors of less than 1 can be achieved by the proposed method.
RESUMEN
White-light scanning interferometry (WLSI) is a useful technique to measure surface profile when a test object contains discontinuous structures or microstructures. A black and white CCD camera is usually utilized to capture interferograms, and a series of corresponding algorithms is used to achieve the profile measurement. However, the color information in the interferograms is lost. A novel profile measurement method that uses phase information in different color channels (red-green-blue) of an interferogram obtained using a three-chip color CCD in WLSI is proposed. The phase values are extracted by a windowed Fourier transform algorithm. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
RESUMEN
A Michelson-type digital speckle photographic system has been proposed in which one light beam produces a Fourier transform and another beam produces an image at a recording plane, without interfering between themselves. Because the optical Fourier transform is insensitive to translation and the imaging technique is insensitive to tilt, the proposed system is able to simultaneously and independently determine both surface tilt and translation by two separate recordings, one before and another after the surface motion, without the need to obtain solutions for simultaneous equations. Experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis.
RESUMEN
Measurement of curvature and twist is an important aspect in the study of object deformation. In recent years, several methods have been proposed to determine curvature and twist of a deformed object using digital shearography. Here we propose a novel method to determine the curvature and twist of a deformed object using digital holography and a complex phasor. A sine/cosine transformation method and two-dimensional short time Fourier transform are proposed subsequently to process the wrapped phase maps. It is shown that high-quality phase maps corresponding to curvature and twist can be obtained. An experiment is conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
RESUMEN
A novel method that uses a two-dimensional (2D) digital image correlation (DIC) based on a single CCD camera to measure three-dimensional (3D) displacement and deformation is proposed. Rigid-body displacement in 3D space consists of both in-plane and out-of-plane components. The presence of an in-plane displacement component results in a shift of the center of the image displacement vector, while the slope of the image displacement vector is related to the out-of-plane displacement component. Global DIC is employed to determine the displaced position of each point on an object based on a linear distribution characteristic of the displacement vector. Speckle images with deformation introduced by 3D displacement are generated to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. In the 3D rigid-body displacement, both in-plane and out-of-plane displacement components are separated by determining the intercept and slope of the image displacement vector. In the 3D deformation, a zero order displacement (pure rigid-body displacement) mode is assumed in a small subset of pixels. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate that both in-plane and out-of-plane displacements can be accurately retrieved using the proposed method.

We describe a novel method of processing complex phasors in digital holographic interferometry (DHI). Unlike the commonly used digital phase subtraction method that operates on the phase itself, the proposed method operates on the complex phasor instead. Two temporal phase retrieval algorithms are developed in which the complex phasor of each pixel is measured and analyzed as a function of time. The developed algorithms are demonstrated in profile measurement of step heights. Experimental results show that the proposed phase retrieval algorithms for DHI perform well compared with conventional methods.
RESUMEN
Digital image correlation (DIC) is commonly used to measure specimen displacements by correlating an image of a specimen in an undeformed or reference configuration and a second image under load. To establish the correlation between the images, numerical techniques are used to locate an initially square image subset in a reference image. In this process, choosing appropriate coordinates is of fundamental importance to ensure accurate results. Both global and local coordinates can be used in shape functions. However, large rigid body rotations and deformations are accurately obtained by using global rather than local shape functions. In addition, points located after displacement may not be at an integer pixel distance from the original position. Hence subpixel displacement estimation methods such as interpolation or fitting of correlation coefficients are essential. A solution using the least-squares method is employed by choosing proper coordinates, and the feasibility of using local coordinates is demonstrated and validated with a mathematical model. Both simulated and experimental results show that the proper choice of coordinates does ensure the reliability and improve the accuracy of measurements in DIC.
RESUMEN
The advanced mechanical testing of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is necessary to provide feedback of measurements that can help the designer optimize MEMS structures and improve the reliability and stability of MEMS. We describe a digital image correlation (DIC) method for dynamic characterization of MEMS using an optical microscope with a high-speed complementary metaloxide semiconductor-based camera. The mechanical performance of a series of microgyroscopes is tested. The DIC method is employed to measure the microgyroscope in-plane displacement with subpixel accuracy. Use of the DIC method is less restrictive on the surface quality of the specimen and simplifies the measurement system. On the basis of a series of temporal digital images grabbed by a high-speed camera, the stability characteristic of the microgyroscopes is analyzed. In addition, the quality factors of the microgyroscopes are determined and agree well with other experimental methods.

A novel optical edge projection method for surface contouring of an object with low reflectivity is presented. A structured light edge is projected onto a dark surface, and the image is captured by a CCD camera. The surface profile of the object is then evaluated by an active triangular projection technique, and a whole-field three-dimensional contour of the object is obtained by scanning the optical edge over the entire object surface. An edge detection method based on a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is employed to determine the location of the optical edge. The method of optical edge detection is described, and characteristic details of gray-level distribution along the edge are analyzed. It is shown that the proposed wavelet edge detection method is not dependent on any threshold values; hence the true edge position can be determined without subjective selection. A black low-reflectivity object surface made from woven carbon fiber is measured, and the experimental results show that the profile of a woven carbon fiber can be obtained by the proposed method.
RESUMEN
Under a nonparallel illumination condition, fringe patterns projected on an object have unequal fringe spacing that would introduce a nonlinear carrier phase component. This Letter describes a nonlinear carrier removal technique based on a least-squares approach. In contrast with conventional methods, the proposed algorithm would not magnify phase measurement uncertainty, nor does it require direct estimation of system geometrical parameters. The theoretical expression of the carrier phase function on the reference is derived and expanded in a power series. The unknown coefficients in the series are determined by a least-squares method. By subtracting the calculated carrier phase function from the unwrapped phase map, the phase distribution of the object profile is obtained.
RESUMEN
Talbot interferometry is used to study the surface profile of a transparent object. Periodic patterns are produced by illuminating a grating with a collimated laser beam. The object is placed on the self-image plane of the grating. The deformed grating image, which interferes with another grating, results in the Talbot interferometric fringes. The fringe pattern is recorded on a CCD camera for subsequent analysis, and the phase variation is achieved by a linear translation stage. In this application two specimens are tested to demonstrate the validity of the method; one is a transparent object with a spherical shape with a height of less than 350 microm, and the other is a transparent object with an uneven surface of 50-microm average height. The experimental results are compared with the test results obtained with the mechanical stylus method.
