Abstract:
The interference properties of white light speckle pattern obtained with an optical system not corrected for chromatic aberration are applied to pseudocolor encode the depth level contours of a 3-D diffusing object. At a first step, a recording of the different encoded images of depth levels is done. In a second step, a reconstructed pseudocolored image is obtained, where different color assignements can be tuned by changing the position of a spatial filter slit. Also, a quantitative contouring can be made scanning the pseudocolored image plane with a spectroscopic device.
