Abstract

This paper proposed an automated technique for vibration detection using statistical focus measure to evaluate interferogram contrast. An interferogram sequence from a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup is recorded (frame rate: 24 fps) and the gray-level variance (GLVA) is plotted versus time. Occurrence of induced vibration in the setup causes a decrease in the interferogram contrast which, in turn, manifests as an evident rapid drop in the variance plot. The technique is demonstrated experimentally using periodic microvibrations (frequency range, $\le 6\mathrm{Hz}$) and aperiodic disturbances.
