title: Digital shearing method for three-dimensional data extraction in holographic particle image velocimetry.
abstract: We report a new digital shearing method for extracting the three-dimensional displacement vector data from double-exposure holograms. With this method we can manipulate both the phase and the amplitude of the recorded signal, which, like optical correlation analysis, is inherently immune to imaging aberration. However, digital shearing is not a direct digital implementation of optical correlation, and a considerable saving in computation time results. We demonstrate the power of the method by MATLAB simulation and discuss its performance with reference to optical analysis.
