Correlation Characterization of Particles in Volume Based on Peak-to-Basement Ratio

Abstract

We propose a new express method of the correlation characterization of the particles suspended in the volume of optically transparent medium. It utilizes inline digital holography technique for obtaining two images of the adjacent layers from the investigated volume with subsequent matching of the cross-correlation function peak-to-basement ratio calculated for these images. After preliminary calibration via numerical simulation, the proposed method allows one to quickly distinguish parameters of the particle distribution and evaluate their concentration. The experimental verification was carried out for the two types of physical suspensions. Our method can be applied in environmental and biological research, which includes analyzing tools in flow cytometry devices, express characterization of particles and biological cells in air and water media, and various technical tasks, e.g. the study of scattering objects or rapid determination of cutting tool conditions in mechanisms.

Development of Innovative Methods for the Assessment of the Technical Condition of the Gearboxes of the Mine Belt Conveyors in the Parameters of the Lubricating Oil

“…It should be noted that the lubricating oil could also contain corrosion products, coke particles, which were formed during destructive processes in the oil. In addition, there can be dust particles penetrated from outside [13][14][15].…”

Determination of the Working Liquids Technical Condition By Analysis of Digital Speckle Images Parameters

“…This method disadvantage is the dependence of the impurities determination accuracy from the lens resolution and the data recording system. A more modern method of liquid media control is the method of determining the micro particles in liquids by digital holography [7]. In this way the measuring cuvette light laser radiation and receive image of the medium volume in multiple layers.…”
