This study introduces a novel phase unwrapping method for wavelet transform profilometry. By using amplitude information, it effectively reduces phase errors caused by incorrect unwrapping paths in 3D optical measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Optical Metrology
  • Signal Processing
  • 3D Imaging

Background:

  • Phase unwrapping is critical for noncontact optical profilometry using triangular measurement.
  • Incorrect unwrapping paths can lead to significant phase errors in wavelet transform profilometry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a phase unwrapping algorithm that minimizes errors caused by incorrect paths.
  • To improve the accuracy of wavelet transform profilometry.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the amplitude value map of wavelet transform coefficients at the wavelet-ridge position.
