1. A method of detecting a posture of an object, by which a relative inclination of said object with respect to a reference is detected, said method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring fringe image data carrying phase information of said object;
subjecting the whole or part of said fringe image data to arithmetic processing using Fourier transform so as to determine a tilt frequency of a fringe corresponding to an inclination of said object in said fringe image data; and
detecting said inclination of said object according to said tilt frequency.

Abstract
A method of detecting a posture of an object comprises the steps of acquiring fringe image data carrying phase information of the object; subjecting the whole or part of fringe image data to arithmetic processing using Fourier transform so as to determine a tilt frequency of a fringe corresponding to an inclination of the object in the fringe image data; and detecting the inclination of the object according to the tilt frequency.

24. A method of detecting a posture of an object, by which a change in inclination of said object between before and after a movement thereof is detected, said method comprising:
-
a first step of acquiring first fringe image data carrying phase information of said object before said movement, subjecting the whole or part of said first fringe image data to arithmetic processing using Fourier transform so as to determine a tilt frequency of a fringe corresponding to an inclination of said object before said movement in said first fringe image data, and detecting inclination information of said object before said movement according to said tilt frequency;
