Processing system for the analysis of particle displacement holograms

Abstract
Holography is a method by which information of a 3D object space can be recorded. Used to record the position of neutrally buoyant tracers in a flow at two or more briefly separated instants it provides the means to record complex 3D velocity distributions. The magnitude of data contained in a holographic recording and the complexity of extracting flow displacement values from within a random distribution of holographically recorded seed particles makes automated analysis desirable. The analysis system described here is based on 3D correlation processing and provides an accurate and reliable means of detecting and measuring the local 3D displacements from a background of randomly positioned particles.
