Abstract
The name moiré has its origin in the French language, referring to wave like pattern. When screens of same mesh density are superposed, fringes are generated which move when its relative positions are displaced (Sciammarella, 1982). Lord Rayleigh, 1874 (Oster et al, 1964) proposed the application of a moiré technique in testing diffraction grids. Mulot (1925) applied that technique in studying deformations of mica layers. Later on, Tollenar (1945) reported that moiré fringes can be used to magnify displacements, being also suitable as a photoelastic method. Recent reports present comprehensive classifications of the methods termed as moiré. Albiero et al (2003) reported the preceding research work, in which a divergent light beam, a less precise angle and distance data measurement and a slightly discontinuous sinusoidal grid have been employed, generating noise and image distortion. By improving the geometrical measurements, a highly continuous sinusoidal grid as well as a collimated light beam and a higher resolution CCD camera, the superposition of image discontinuities during the unwrapping procedure of the Phase Shifting method, as well as noise occurrence were satisfactorily avoided, improving the image processing.
I. Introduction. The name moiré has its origin in the French language, referring to wave like pattern. The phenomenon is generated when screens of certain mesh density are superposed, producing wave like patterns or fringes, which move when its relative positions are displaced (Sciammarella, 1982). The literature discloses the name of Lord Rayleigh ,1874 (Oster et al, 1964) which proposed the application of a moiré technique in testing diffraction grids. Mulot (1925) employed this technique in studying deformations of mica layers. Later on, Tollenar (1945) found that moiré fringes serve to magnify displacements, being suitable to photoelastic analysis. Recent reports present comprehensive classifications of the methods termed as moiré.
A very popular greed, named Ronchi grid, consists of parallel and equidistant dark stripes alternated by clear and transparent ones, as shown by Figure ....(A). The line located at the center of a clear or dark strip is called greed line and the distance between two consecutive lines is named period (p) and its inverse frequency (f), generally expressed in number of lines per millimeter. Any small change on the angle between greed lines will generate significative displacement on the fringes. This can be understood as a magnification effect on the displacement. Nishijima (1964) and Oster et al. (1964) present the following geometrical interpretation applied to moiré fringes. Considering two grids of equidistant lines, being greed R1 which keeps its stripes parallel to the y axis holding a period called p1 superposed on a R2 grid with a period named p2 different of p1 , being θ the angle between them. A third grid called moiré fringes will be observed as shown on the Figure 2.2. A close examination of this figure will lead to

in case of identical grids, i.e., equal spacing (a = b) the above equation will be reduced to:

These fringes exhibit a sinusoidal appearance as it is seen on Figure 2. Observed light intensity is
the average intensity of the light transmitted through the grids 1 and 2 and the maximum intensity is observed at the center of the clear stripes and zero intensity value at the center of the dark stripes. The use of sinusoidal grids as shown on Figure 4. are associated to the geometry survey of non continuous surfaces. Concentric circles, ellipses or even uniformly sprayed points, as many other arrangements as well any surface exhibiting periodical configuration as brick wall, eye retina, TV definition lines, the grains of photographic films or laser speckle grains are able to generate the moiré phenomena. Figure 5 shows (A) a Ronchi grid, (B) a reticular grid and (C) a circular grid.

II. Methodology. The following moiré methods are considered fundamental methods, from which variations and
combination of methods are proposed. Shadow moiré method. This method consists in painting the object with white opaque painting to increase the contrast with
the grid dark lines. A Ronchi grid is then placed between the object and a white light source and a camera, resulting in a triangular disposition as shown on Figure .6 Fringes are generated between the real and projected grids.

Relative displacement method. A square grid is glued or drawn on the object surface meanwhile a Ronchi grid is placed between
the square grid and the camera Object, camera and light source form a triangular geometry as shown on Figure.7 Fringes are then generated in U (x) as well as V (y) principle directions.

Fringes conduction method.
In this case the specimen is axially loaded and deformed, inducing to a displacement of the grid
through the object surface. This procedure will provide a larger number of points containing information on surface topography or displacement to obtain relative displacement maps. Figure 8 exhibits the setup for this method.

Fringes shift method.
In this case the reference grid moves either in a perpendicular direction of the grid lines or in the
axis normal to the reference grid surface or both, which also generates a fringe movement. Such a procedure will generate an increasing number of points with the desired information. Figure 9 exhibits the setup for this method.

Projection moiré method.
This method employs the projection of a grid onto the object surface by means of a slide projector
or multimedia projector. One or two projecting system setup can be used as shown on Figure 10 and Figure 11 In the second case three-dimensional information can be obtained.

In this method 3 or four out of phase sinusoidal grids are projected onto the object surface. An
adequate image processing will yield a topographic image of the object. Figure 12 shows the setup for this method.

Microscopic moiré with immersion interferometer method. Light speed exhibits constant value in the vacuum which diminishes as soon as it reaches a
refracting media because its frequency does not depends on the medium characteristics. This way, wavelength should decrease, increasing the projected grid frequency which increases the sensitivity in data adquisition. Resolution frequently reaches the error level of 0.08 micro meter. Figure 14 exhibits the setup for this method.
