A multi-frame probing system developed for use in laser fusion experiments quadruples the number of holographic interferograms acquired during each laser shot. In order to handle the increase in quantity of data, improvements over the previous method of locating fringes using a tablet digitizer were required. Conventional turnkey image enhancement and fringe tracing methods were found to be inadequate due to the noise levels and fringe densities present. A set of interactive adaptive digital image processing tools was developed to help scientists trace fringe patterns in the holographic interferograms. Preliminary results are promising.
