Object motion effect in Fraunhofer holography with application to velocity measurements
Optical imaging systems achieving aperture synthesis by lensless Fourier transform holography, noting X ray astronomy, ultrasonic and space applications
Experimental results extend the Fraunhofer holography theory to include moving objects. Conclusions indicate objects may move up to ten times their mean diameter during observation time. Their motion produces fringe patterns descriptive of that motion from which it is possible to reconstruct the hologram and measure the velocity.

This paper provides a brief summary of applications of optical holography and holographic interferometry to applied solid mechanics. Basic equations commonly used in fringe interpretation are described and used to reduce the data contained on holographic interferograms. A comparison of data obtained holographically with analytical prediction is given wherever possible. Applications contained herein include front surface physics, study of bomb breakup, transverse wave propagation, study of mode shapes of panels at elevated temperatures, nondestructive testing, and vibration analysis.
Basic techniques for microwave holography are considered, giving attention to ways of approaching the problem, swept frequency depth resolution, optical processing of swept frequency data, B-scans with optical processing, and the side-looking radar principle. Aspects of image formation with Vander Lugt filters are discussed together with holograms for Vander Lugt filter imaging. It is shown that a single basic scanning operation with microwaves can produce records for optical processing to provide any of the common readouts used in flaw detection.
The possibility of imaging the sea surface in three dimensions by means of microwave holography from a low-flying aircraft is considered. Data cover a brief feasibility study and a review of some computer experiments in which it was demonstrated that it is possible to compute three-dimensional images of objects from raw holographic data recorded on magnetic tape. These experiments used synthetic data.
