TLDR
A new full-field method for the automatic analysis of isochromatic fringes in white light, named RGB photoelasticity, which makes it possible to determine retardations uniquely in the range of 0–3 fringe orders.
Abstract
In this paper a new full-field method for the automatic analysis of isochromatic fringes in white light is presented. The method, named RGB photoelasticity, eliminates the typical drawbacks of the classical approach to photoelasticity in white light which requires a subjective analysis of colors and an experienced analyst to acquire and interpret the results.
