“…However, the use of an amplitude/phase description faces the difficulty related to its periodicity, and the associated spurious discontinuities found when combining a phase close to , e.g., ( , very small), with another very close too, e.g., ( , very small), but that being higher than reduces to , originating the just referred spurious discontinuity: . Even if this issue was addressed in many works that proposed the use of the so-called unwrapping, usual unwrapping algorithms only performs well when the data sampling is dense enough, but they fail in the sparse sampling case [ 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”
