This study unifies several phase map filtering methods, revealing the equivalence of regularized phase-tracking (RPT), multiple-parameter least-square (MPLS), windowed Fourier ridges (WFR), and autocorrelation function (ACF) methods. The sine/cosine average filter (SCAF) also connects to WFR, simplifying unwrapped phase map filtering.

Area of Science:

  • Signal Processing
  • Image Analysis
  • Phase Measurement Techniques

Background:

  • Wrapped phase maps are crucial in various scientific and engineering fields.
  • Existing filtering methods for unwrapped phase maps include RPT, MPLS, WFR, ACF, and SCAF.
  • Understanding the relationships between these filtering techniques is essential for method selection and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the transversal relationships between different filtering methods for wrapped phase maps.
  • To establish a unified framework for understanding these phase map filtering techniques.
  • To demonstrate the equivalence and connections among RPT, MPLS, WFR, ACF, and SCAF.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of established filtering algorithms for wrapped phase maps.
