RT Journal Article T1 Direct demodulation of closed-fringe interferograms based on active contours A1 Quiroga Mellado, Juan Antonio A1 Vargas Balbuena, Javier A1 Belenguer Dávila, Tomás AB We demonstrate a method to directly demodulate closed-fringe interferograms using a kind of active contour called a snake. This method can be used to demodulate a single closed-fringe interferogram when its background illumination and/or contrast terms have a spatial frequency similar to the spatial frequency of the equivalent normalized interferogram. Among other cases, this problematic usually appears in interferometry when spurious reflection appears in the interferogram. In these situations, typical Fourier-based methods are of no help. We show a set of simulations and experimental results that prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
