Efficient Cartesian representation of Zernike polynomials in computer memory
Hedser H. van Brug · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1997
The use of Zernike polynomials, in their Cartesian form, as a basis for wave front fitting in shearography, has been enabled by an efficient representation in computer memory. This method is presented and applications of a portable computer program employing this method are discussed. The value of this program for educational purposes is indicated.
