    Automatic processing in Moiré deflectometry by local fringe direction calculation
    (Applied Optics, 1998) Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Quiroga Mellado, Juan Antonio; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio
    An algorithm for accurately extracting the local fringe direction is presented. The algorithm estimates, in the neighborhood of n × n points, the direction of the gradient that points normal to the local fringe direction. The performance of four different derivative kernels is also compared. Since this method is sensitive to noise and variations in background and amplitude, a preprocessing step is used to limit these error sources. The method has been applied to the moiré deflectogram of a spherical and a progressive addition ophthalmic lens, resulting in a map of the refractive power of these lenses. The results are compared with the data obtained with a commercial focimeter. This technique is useful for analyzing the fringe patterns where the fringe direction is variable and must be obtained locally.

    Enhancement of surface inspection by Moiré interferometry using flexible reference gratings
    (Optics Express, 2001) Quiroga Mellado, Juan Antonio; Martínez Antón, Juan Carlos; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio; Álvaro Labajo, M.; Cortés Testillano, V.
    We have extended the use of shadow Moiré technique to be implemented in simple curved surfaces by using a flexible grating. Dynamic visual inspection of surface micro-damages is significantly favored by the use of well adapted pliable gratings compared to the use of flat reference gratings. The experimental set-up consists of a plastic foil with a printed Ronchi grating stretched between three points which adapts to any cylindrical or conical convex surface independently of the relative orientation grating/surface. Static quantification of defects profiles is also possible with an attached CCD camera. Visual detection of defects in the range of ~30 μm in depth is obtainable.

    Energy optimization of a light projection system for buildings that virtually restores artworks
    (Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, 2019) Vázquez Molini, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Muro, Carmen; Durmus, D.; Davis, W.; Benítez Iglesias, Antonio Jesús; Mayorga Pinilla, Santiago
    The need to achieve energy efficiency standards in the lighting systems of buildings makes it necessary to optimize all aspects of them. Here, the development of a light projection system that achieves this goal by studying and modifying the spectral output, compared to conventional illumination, is described. A lighting system that estimates the reflectance characteristics of artwork and emits optimized lighting can reduce light absorption. A damage-minimizing point-by-point light projection system is developed using an optimization algorithm, to improve the appearance of the surfaces of artworks whose color has faded. In this case, a simulation of an aged oil painting was made by manipulating the original photograph, which was printed and to which the proposed system was applied. The results show that, when the aged printed image is illuminated with the optimized light source, it appears indistinguishable from the non-aged oil painting.

    Detection of microbumps in aeronautic surfaces by means of an elastical Moire system
    (Optical Measurement Systems for Industrial Inspection II: Application in Industrial Design, 2001) Quiroga Mellado, Juan Antonio; Martínez Antón, Juan Carlos; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio; Álvaro Labajo, M.; Cortés Testillano, V.
    We provide a simple solution for the particular problem of the in-service inspection of aeronautic surfaces in order to detect bumps that otherwise it is made visually and usually less reliably. Bumps and other surface defects can be a symptom of a more serious internal damage. We have extended the use of the well know shadow Moire technique to be implemented in convex curved surfaces. The use of flexible Ronchi grating allows its adaptation to a convex general surface. The effect is the contrast enhancement of only the small defects sweeping-off other misleading height profile fringes. The result obtained are quite satisfactory compared to the use of flat reference gratings. The experimental set- up consists of a plastic foil with a printed Ronchi grating stretched between three points which adapts to nay cylindrical or conical convex surface independently of the relative grating-surface orientation. Static quantification of defects profiles is also possible by means of with an attached CCD camera. Visual detectability of local surface structures lye in the range of approximately 30 micrometers in depth.

    A generalization of Prentice's law for lenses with arbitrary refracting surfaces
    (Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics (OPO), 1998) Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Gómez Pedrero, José Antonio; Alonso Fernández, José; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio
    A generalization of the Prentice's law is presented in this paper. The idea consists of removing some (but not all) of the approximations that comprise the paraxial approach. In that way, we obtain a new formulation that permits us to compute the prismatic power of a lens made up of arbitrary refracting surfaces, and to improve the precision obtained by Prentice's law when applied to monofocal lenses. The resulting formalism is simple and manageable and its derivation leads us to a precise definition of the local dioptric power matrix, introduced in a previous paper, as well as a better understanding of the same.

    Improved Phase-Shifting Method for Automatic Processing of Moiré Deflectograms
    (Applied Optics, 1998) Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Quiroga Mellado, Juan Antonio; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio
    An improved moiré deflectometry phase-shifting technique is presented. A squared grating is used to multiplex the information of the deflections in two orthogonal directions in one image. This procedure avoids the need to rotate the gratings to obtain complete deflection information. However, the use of these gratings makes impossible the application of standard phase-shifting algorithms. Specifically, the problems associated with the nonsinusoidal profile of the moiré fringes and the low-modulation areas produced by the square gratings are solved. A modified moiré deflectometry phase-shifting method is designed to deal with these problems. In addition, a method to obtain the zero order of the prismatic effect is developed. The technique configures a complete and automatic method of mapping ray deflections. From them the refractive power maps can be derived. Experimental results obtained with a progressive-addition lens are shown.

    In-line detection and evaluation of surface defects on thin metallic wires
    (Optical Measurement Systems for Industrial Inspection II: Applications in Production Engineering, 2001) Martínez Antón, Juan Carlos; Siegmann, Philip; Sánchez Brea, Luis Miguel; Gómez Pedrero, José Antonio; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio; Hoefling, Roland; Jueptner, Werner P. O.; Kujawinska, Malgorzata
    We have developed a prototype for in-line detection of surface defects in metallic wires, specially for scratches. A simple geometrical relationship between surface topography and conical reflection, permits to correlate the defects with intensity patterns in a simple way. The presented apparatus consists basically in a grating-divided laser beam incident on angular equidistant points. A CCD and an associated optics capture the information of the whole wire perimeter at once. Analytic rudiments are provided in agreement with the experimental results.

    Laser beam deflectometry based on a subpixel resolution algorithm
    (Optical Engineering, 2001) Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Alonso Fernández, José; Bernabéu Martínez, Eusebio
    A deflectometric method for the characterization of optical systems is presented. It is based on the use of a CCD camera and a subpixel resolution algorithm for the measurement of the deflection of a laser beam that propagates through the system. To obtain accurate results, three different algorithms for measuring the position of the deflected beam are tested and compared. Based on this comparison, an algorithm based on the calculation of the phase of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is selected, and an accuracy of 0.024 pixels is obtained on the determination of the beam position in our setup. Using an XY scanning stage, the proposed method is completely automated and applied for the characterization of ophthalmic lenses. In this application, the gradients of the wavefront refracted by the lens are measured directly, and from them, the thickness and the local power of the lens are computed.

    Point to point multispectral light projection applied to cultural heritage
    (Proceedings of SPIE, 2017) Vázquez Molini, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; García Botella, Ángel; Mayorga Pinilla, Santiago; Muro, Carmen; Galán Cañestro, María Teresa
    Use of new of light sources based on LED technology should allow the develop of systems that combine conservation and exhibition requirements and allow to make these art goods available to the next generations according to sustainability principles. The goal of this work is to develop light systems and sources with an optimized spectral distribution for each specific point of the art piece. This optimization process implies to maximize the color fidelity reproduction and the same time to minimize the photochemical damage. Perceived color under these sources will be similar (metameric) to technical requirements given by the restoration team uncharged of the conservation and exhibition of the goods of art. Depending of the fragility of the exposed art objects (i.e. spectral responsivity of the material) the irradiance must be kept under a critical level. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mathematical model that simulates with enough accuracy both the visual effect of the illumination and the photochemical impact of the radiation. Spectral reflectance of a reference painting The mathematical model is based on a merit function that optimized the individual intensity of the LED-light sources taking into account the damage function of the material and color space coordinates. Moreover the algorithm used weights for damage and color fidelity in order to adapt the model to a specific museal application. In this work we show a sample of this technology applied to a picture of Sorolla (1863-1923) an important Spanish painter title “woman walking at the beach”.
