Various Grids in Moiré Measurements

The moiré effect is typically observed in regular periodic structures and sometimes in random (aperiodic) structures. However, currently, only regular graphical objects are used in measurements. We propose using graphical objects that are not regular but not entirely random and that resemble rows, such as grids of dotted lines or matrixes of dots. The moiré effect in such objects may become similar to the moiré effect in regular graphical objects if a relatively simple modification of the image processing algorithm is applied. We demonstrated that the results of measurements with five different graphical objects arranged in rows (including text) are similar. Using such objects can be helpful for practical moiré measurements.
