Abstract. Of all the two-beam interference patterns, the ones obtained in speckle interferometry (SI) are the most difficult to be phase-demodulated. Many solutions exist in classical smooth-wave interferometry and alike techniques, both in static and dynamic regimes. In SI, the three constituents of the signals -the background, the modulation and the phase -are all basically random variables. There is no way to make a prediction of the evolution of these variables outside the small size of the correlation volumes -the volumes defined by the average speckle grain. To some extent, the classical methods can be adapted to SI. Here, we prefer to develop a series of new processing tools tailored to the specificities of the dynamic SI signals: the cooperative use of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), the Hilbert transform (HT), and the three dimensional piecewise processing (3DPP) for recovering efficiently the phase of these signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
