Measurement of 3-D displacement: sandwich holography and regulated path length interferometry
Applied Optics
|April 8, 2010
Abstract:
An analysis of sandwich and regulated path length interferometries is used to determine 3-D displacement. The combination of the two techniques provides a reliable means for unambiguous determination of displacement. To demonstrate the efficiency of the combination displacement measurement is made of object surface points on a steel beam. The accuracy of sandwich hologram interferometry is replicable for a series of measurements and does not fall below the value needed in industrial measurements.

01:10Design Example: Measuring Distance Between Two Points with Obstructions
When measuring distances in areas with physical obstructions, such as a lake in a field, surveyors must employ techniques to calculate accurate lengths without direct line measurements. One effective method is the offset technique, which allows for precise distance estimation over inaccessible stretches.In this scenario, a surveyor must measure a side of an area that crosses a lake. Since the measuring tape cannot span the lake, the surveyor begins by establishing a baseline that aligns with...
01:18Distance Measurements by Taping
Tapes are essential in surveying for accurate, durable, and short-distance measurements. Made from lightweight, nylon-coated steel, they offer flexibility and strength for rugged outdoor use. The nylon coating protects against rust and wear, extending the tape's life. Standard lengths, around 30 meters, are marked in meters and millimeters for precision.Surveyors select tapes based on site conditions and accuracy needs. Lightweight, nylon-coated tapes are commonly used for ease of handling and...
