- Create the Base Patterns: Start by generating two similar patterns (e.g., grids or lines) that will be overlaid to create the moiré effect. These can be sinusoidal waves or simple geometric shapes.
- Simulate Movement: To simulate time-averaging, one of the patterns must be altered over time, simulating movement. This could be a phase shift, rotation, or scaling.
- Overlay and Average: Overlay the altered pattern onto the original pattern at different instances, summing them up, and then average the result to simulate the time-averaged effect.
- Visualization: Visualize the resulting pattern to observe the time-averaged moiré fringes.
- For generating sinusoidal patterns and basic operations, refer to MATLAB's documentation on "sin" and "linspace": https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sin.html, https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/linspace.html.
