“…Among them, one finds the analysis of speckle pattern's time history (THSP) by means of different descriptors like the inertia moment (IM) [4], the generalized differences (GD) method [8], the modified time correlation method [9], the time evolution inspection of the speckle pattern's texture [10], the contrast imaging method [11], the method of empirical mode decomposition [12], the Fujii difference method [13], the analysis of the speckle pattern's phase evolution [14], and so on. In a recent work we proposed a simple and straightforward algorithm [15] for calculating a single SA index from a sequence of images, aiming to simplify calculations and overcome some disadvantages of the mentioned methods.…”
