Digital image-processing system assists in analysis of holographic interferometric images of flow about airfoil. Operating semiautomatically, identifies, counts, and labels interference fringes, then processes distances between fringes into distribution of pressure on surface of airfoil. Yields data on pressure faster than manual image-analyses techniques, and data compares favorably with those obtained by manual analysis and by probe measurements of pressure. Uses computer programs evaluating interferograms along straight or curved lines represented by polygon segments. User prompted for such inputs as reference points and fringe number. Digitizes holographic interferograms of flow and processes them into data of pressure or other properties of flow.
