This study introduces a novel phase unwrapping algorithm that iteratively merges and shifts continuous areas to resolve phase ambiguities caused by noise and undersampling. The method offers enhanced robustness by allowing arbitrary region shapes, overcoming limitations of traditional tile-based approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Signal Processing
  • Image Analysis
  • Computational Mathematics

Background:

  • The phase unwrapping problem seeks to recover a continuous phase field from a wrapped phase field.
  • Noise and undersampling complicate phase unwrapping, making direct integration methods unreliable.
  • Existing tile-based methods impose constraints on region shape and connectivity, limiting robustness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new, robust phase unwrapping algorithm.
  • To address the limitations of traditional phase unwrapping techniques in noisy or undersampled data.
  • To introduce an iterative merging and shifting approach for phase unwrapping.

Main Methods:

  • An iterative algorithm that merges and shifts continuous phase regions.
  • Regions are allowed to have arbitrary shapes, removing single-connectivity constraints.
