Modern quality testing of engineered surfaces requires non-contact and non-destructive measurement methods. Triangulation as well as white-light interferometry fulfill most of these requirements regarding measurement precision. These methods, however, are mostly limited to stationary objects. An interesting alternative is two-wavelength speckle-interferometry which can be used in applications, where measurement duration plays a crucial role. A measuring system is introduced which is capable of recording all data necessary for interferometric surface contouring simultaneously. Thus the influence of movement can be suppressed significantly. A GPU based (GPU = Graphic Processing Unit) interferogram evaluation permits both high measuring speed and measuring rate.
