This method is based on digital image processing. By analyzing the spatial spectrum of the off-axis digital hologram, it theoretically proves that the zero-order image can be effectively eliminated by differential before reconstruction. Then, the detected hologram is processed in the program with differential and reconstruction. Both the theoretical analysis and digital reconstruction results show that it can effectively eliminate the large bright spot in the center of the reconstructed image caused by the zero-order image, improve the image quality significantly, and render a better contrast of the reconstructed image. This method is very simple and convenient due to no superfluous optical elements and requiring only one time record.展开更多

The triangle edges are treated as springs which relax their lengths towards a “better” force equilibrium where the triangles are closer to equilateral shape. The actual kernel is an improved zero order integrator which is able to follow reconfigurations of the particles faster than earlier methods. The improved relaxation allows larger timesteps in the flow simulation and leads to more stable, faster mesh reconfigurations for fast moving particles in the flow. Additionally, this demonstrates how integrators of the same order zero can nevertheless have different convergence speeds towards展开更多
