TLDR
Two-dimensional sinusoid fitting and Fourier transform methods of analyzing fringes to determine the wave-front topography are described and are accurate.
Abstract
Two-dimensional sinusoid fitting and Fourier transform methods of analyzing fringes to determine the wave-front topography are described. The methods are easy to apply because they do not require finding fringe centers and fringe orders. Also, they are accurate. For an active optics experiment in which we have used these techniques, experimental noise exceeds the error resulting from analysis of noise-free theoretical fringe patterns.

Fourier-transform method of fringe-pattern analysis for computer-based topography and interferometry

TL;DR: In this article, a fast Fourier transform method of topography and interferometry is proposed to discriminate between elevation and depression of the object or wave-front form, which has not been possible by the fringe-contour generation techniques.

Real-time fringe-pattern analysis.

Lawrence N. Mertz
- 15 May 1983 - 
TL;DR: The task is to learn the phases of real positive intensity fringes from an optical testing interferometer using a direct analog-to-digital arctangent converter, coupled to a turns counter that automatically registers unwrapped phase.
