Figure 2. Moiré beat patterns from changes in the fringe orientation or spacing indicates tilts or yaw of the part surface and is fixed on the part surface with movement of the part. The edge of a label on a bottle (right) can be seen as lifting off the surface by the brake in the pattern at the top of the label.
