ABSTRACT:
In a phase unwrapping and correction system, phase wrapped data is unwrapped with an unwrapping algorithm to obtain unwrapped image data. The unwrapped image data is further processed to correct the unwrapped image data by dividing the image represented by the unwrapped image data into regions defining boundaries corresponding to inconsistencies in the image data. The regions are then corrected by comparing them with one another and adjusting the multiples of 2.pi. assigned to each region to minimize discontinuities between the regions.
