Abstract

Unified interpretation for the real and pseudo moiré phenomena using the concept of biased and unbiased frequency pairs in the Fourier spectrum is given. Intensity modulations are responsible for pseudo moiré appearance in the image plane rather than average intensity variations dominating real moiré. Detection of pseudo moiré necessitates resolving superimposed structures in the image plane. In the case of the product type superimposition generating both real and pseudo moiré, our interpretation utilizes the Fourier domain information only. The moiré pattern characteristics such as an effective carrier, modulation and bias intensity distributions can be readily predicted. We corroborate them using two-dimensional continuous wavelet transform and fast adaptive bidimensional empirical mode decomposition methods as complementary image processing tools.

The dots represent the locations of fundamental harmonics of superimposed structures and the bias term (f1 and f2 denote spatial frequencies of the first and second grating, respectively; in (a) and (c) f1 = f2, in (b) f2 = f1/2). Small circles represent generated beat frequencies (in parentheses). Notations in parentheses indicate harmonics forming particular beat frequencies, not their coordinates in the frequency plane. For example, pseudo-moiré modulation bands in case (b) are generated by unbiased frequency pairs [ +f2; ( +f1, –f2)] and [-f2; (-f1, +f2)] contributing the lowest value beat frequencies, see text for details.
