    A novel phase-unwrapping algorithm reconstructs accurate phase data from interferometric measurements. This method divides images into patches, then merges them to resolve phase ambiguities, improving phase reconstruction accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Image Processing
    • Computational Science

    Background:

    • Interferometric phase-shifting techniques are crucial for precise measurements.
    • Phase reconstruction is often limited by phase modulo 2pi ambiguity due to inverse trigonometric functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new phase-unwrapping algorithm for accurate phase reconstruction.
    • To address the limitations of existing phase reconstruction methods in interferometry.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-step algorithm involving image segmentation using a quad-tree-like procedure.
    • Merging segmented patches via an error-norm-minimizing approach for continuous phase fields.
    • Hierarchical recombination of subimages to obtain the unwrapped phase.
