%0 Book Section %T Application of regularization methods to the analysis of photoelastic fringe patterns publisher SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering %D 1999 %U 0-8194-3224-5 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/60788 %X In this work we present the application of a regularization algorithm to the processing of photoelastic hinge patterns. The method used is a modified phase tracking algorithm applied to phase-shifted images. In particular, we present an algorithm for isoclinics-isochromatics separation that uses only five images. The performance of the method is discussed and experimental results are presented. %~
