A System for the Quantitative Analysis of Interferograms

A system is presented that performs a quantitative computer analysis of interferograms. The system is modularly built around a VME-bus backbone, and uses an interpreter language as software structure, meeting the demands for flexibility in development and for external utilisation tailored to specific applications. The algorithms for the analysis of single-image interferograms are briefly discussed. Due to delay in the project, the exact performance of the system is still unknown.
