Two-frame Phase-shifting Interferometry by Minimizing the Residual-background

Abstract

Abstract Demodulation of two random phase shift fringe patterns is an ill-posed problem. Existing methods often need to remove the fringe background by pre filtering in the frequency, which takes more time, and have a great influence on the phase reconstruction because of the frequency aliasing, these limits the application of two frame phase-shift interferometry in actual production. In this case, this paper based on the idea of Statistical Average, proposes a Statistical Average technology for phase extraction of two frame randomly phase-shifted interferograms from rough to precision without pre filtering. The proposed methods based on minimizing the residual background, firstly estimates the average background by calculating the average for all pixels, and then adding and subtracting the two frames with the background removed. The phase shift and phase are solved by using the properties of trigonometric functions. Then the amplitude is solved using the obtained phase and phase shift. Finally, the background is solved and the original light intensity is updated. Compared with existing methods, our method has the advantages such as rapid convergence and quick calculation by offering the right initial value. The accuracy of my proposed method is approximately double that of existing methods. Simulation and experimental results show that our method is a practical method of two frame phase shift interferences, both simple and reliable.
