Abstract

When an object is placed at different distances from a camera lens, the resulting images are different in size due to perspective effect. If this effect can be quantitatively measured, it could be used to deduce the shape of a 3D object, because different part of the object occupies different position from the imaging lens. An equation for the perspective effect was derived by Sciammarella and Chiang in 1968 and verified using moiré fringes. It was then called the moiré gap effect and the equation was referred to as the moiré gap equation. An attempt was made in the present study to show that the moiré gap equation can be applied to the random speckle method for strain analysis as well. Furthermore an attempt was also made to use the effect to deduce the 3D shape of an object. Since speckles can be made in micro/nanometer size, one can use the technique to measure 3D shape of very small objects.
