“…Both spatial and temporal carriers are assumed to be known ( ' u is easily calibrated using a reference plane), so we can estimate ( , ) c x y or ( , ) c x y using synchronous methods. By convention we choose ( , ), c x y from where the searched phase-map and the fringes' contrast function are computed as its argument and amplitude, respectively [1][2][3][4][5]. For the spatial synchronous method, having 0 (0, ), u the searched analytic signal is given by…”
