Abstract
Holographic recording techniques provide one of the most powerful particle field diagnostic tools in existence. A hologram can provide a frozen three-dimensional image of a particle field through which detailed microscopic examination of individual particles is possible. Frequently, a particle field may contain many thousands of particles, and it becomes impractical for the human operator to glean all the data of interest from such a hologram. For holography to reach its full potential in particle diagnostics, a three-dimensional image analyzer is required. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of using existing electro-optic image analyzers to automatically analyze three-dimensional image fields and to determine what modifications of existing equipment would be required to construct such a system. Sample holograms as well as holograms produced in an actual field holo-camera were used to make the evaluations experimentally, and well-refined analytical descriptions of holographic images were used to add to the understanding of system requirements. The study established that existing image analyzers are capable within useful practical limits of locating particle images in three-dimensions and measuring size and shape factors of the particle. A plan for integrating such equipment to produce a fully automated data reduction system is presented.
