... 4This chapter presents the design configuration of the FTI aggregate imaging and analysis system. The FTI system is actually a noncontact 3-D surface profilometer, using a simple fiber optic coupler to form a Young's double-pinhole interferometer.
From page 5...
... 5 The aggregate is placed on an adjustable-height tray (shown in Figure 2-6) , and users can move the surface into the field of view to maximize the clarity of images.

From page 7...
... 7 Once the reference fringe order is determined, it must be applied to the unwrapped phase map ju(x, y) , calculated only once for the entire image, regardless of surface boundary or reference fringe selection.
