    Area of Science:

    • Optical Metrology
    • Image Processing
    • Computational Mechanics

    Background:

    • Gradient Vector Field (GVF) methods are crucial for skeletonizing fringe patterns in Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI).
    • Skeletonizing ESPI fringe patterns with varying density presents a significant challenge in the field.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel GVF calculation method for accurately skeletonizing variable-density ESPI fringe patterns.
    • To address the limitations of existing GVF-based skeletonization techniques for challenging fringe patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • A variational image decomposition approach is used to calculate GVFs.
    • GVFs are described in Beppo-Levi, Hilbert, and curvelet spaces for low-density, high-density, and noise regions, respectively.
    • The total GVF is a sum of decomposed components, enabling topological analysis for skeleton extraction.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully skeletonizes variable-density ESPI fringe patterns.
    • Demonstrated superior performance compared to existing GVF-based skeletonization methods on simulated and experimental data.
    • Effective skeletonization was achieved even with considerably low-quality ESPI fringe patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed variational image decomposition method offers a robust solution for skeletonizing variable-density ESPI fringe patterns.
    • This technique enhances the reliability of fringe analysis in ESPI, particularly for challenging image qualities.
    • The method provides a significant advancement for quantitative analysis using ESPI.
