Measurement of three-dimensional deformation vectors with digital holography and stereophotogrammetry.

We present a method to determine the three-dimensional (3D) deformation vectors of an arbitrary stressed object by combining stereophotogrammetry and digital holography in a setup with four cameras. The resulting data consists of a dense 3D point cloud, where every point is associated with a deformation vector. Our method is able to calculate the deformation without prior knowledge of the sensitivity vectors or the object surface. In the experimental setup only the base distance of the cameras needs to be known.
