Abstract
A new method for handling Zernike polynomials is presented. Owing to i ts efficiency, this method enables the use of Zernike polynomials as a basis for wave-front fitting in shearography systems. An excerpt of a C++ class is presented to show how the polynomials are calculated and represented in computer memory. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
