XtremeFringe: state-of-the-art software for automatic processing of fringe patterns

XtremeFringe is a new library for fringe pattern processing which incorporates modem methods for automatic analysis including fringe pattern demodulation, fringe pattern filtering and phase unwrapping methods. XtremeFringe (R) is written in C# and is usable as an assembly from any NET language (C#, C++, .NET, J#) and additionally as a Matlab toolbox, which ensures an easy adaptation in custom applications, providing the user with a versatile and powerful tool for fringe pattern analysis in a flexible way. The functions of XtremeFringe are suitable to be employed in metrological applications such interferometry, photoelasticity, Moire techniques, holography, etc. supplying the user with up-to-date fringe analysis tools. In this work, we demonstrate the capabilities of the XtremeFringe library, processing different examples showing the ability of the library to analyze complex fringe patterns in a fast, reliable and automatic way.
