Holographic Interferometry and Image Analysis for Aerodynamic Testing

Abstract

This report summarizes the progress achieved in the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility (VKF) of the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) in the: (1) development of operational techniques and hardware for recording holographic interferograms in the VKF wind tunnels, (2) development of automated image analysis techniques for reducing quantitative flow-field data from holographic interferograms, and (3) investigation and development of software for the application of digital image analysis to other photographic techniques used in wind tunnel testing.
