Digital holocameras for laboratory and outdoor measurements of engineering objects

Industrial inspection requires very fast and reliable measurements. One of the techniques, recently widely used for monitoring of engineering objects, is digital holographic interferometry (DHI). In the paper we present novel digital holographic cameras (DHC). Their configuration allows to provide high accuracy information about shape, out-of-plane and in-plane displacement distributions, through capture of digital hologram by CCD, numerical reconstruction of phases and their proper manipulation. Digital holographic systems presented have compact design, fibre optics light delivery system and automatic data acquisition and processing. The cameras capture data in real-time and have low sensitivity to environmental changes. In the paper several examples of engineering application of these cameras are presented.
