A technique is presented for filtering and normalizing noisy fringe patterns, which may include closed fringes, so that single-frame demodulation schemes may be successfully applied. It is based on the construction of an adaptive filter as a linear combination of the responses of a set of isotropic bandpass filters. The space-varying coefficients are proportional to the envelope of the response of each filter, which in turn is computed by using the corresponding monogenic image [Felsberg and Sommer, IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 49, 3136 (2001)]. Some examples of demodulation of real Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) images patterns are presented.

Abstract-In this work we analyze the controllability and observability properties of several interconnection configurations such as the chain topology and cyclic topology as well as combinations of these two topologies. A leader/follower control strategy is proposed to control the center of mass of the multiple agent system. It is shown that the trajectory tracking for a multi-agent system converges to the constant input reference given only to the leader. Also, it is shown that choosing an appropriated gain, the agents achieve consensus for constant input reference.
