A noised phase-unwrapping method is presented by using the Wigner distribution function to filter the phase noise and restore the gradient of the phase map. By using Poisson’s equation, the unwrapped phase map was obtained. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed method is theoretically simple, provides a more accurate representation, and can be implemented in light-field hardware devices, such as Shack-Hartmann sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
