    A novel algorithm uses discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to create consistent gradient fields for phase unwrapping and other applications. This method handles irregular data and reduces errors without needing parameter tuning.

    Area of Science:

    • Image processing
    • Computational mathematics
    • Computer vision

    Background:

    • Inconsistent gradient fields pose challenges in image processing tasks like phase unwrapping.
    • Existing methods struggle with irregular domains and invalid data, leading to estimation errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based algorithm for solving a quadratic cost functional.
    • To regularize inconsistent gradient fields for accurate integration and application in problems like phase unwrapping and shapes from shading.

    Main Methods:

    • A discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based algorithm is employed to solve a regularized quadratic cost functional.
    • The algorithm generates a consistent gradient field from an inconsistent one, enabling simple integration.
