Fast quality guide phase unwrapping algorithm
through a pruning strategy: applications in dynamic
interferometry
Posted on 2018-04-13 - 21:35
The quality guide phase unwrapping is one of the most important spatial algorithms due to its efficiency
and robustness. It uses a quality map to guide the unwrapping process such that pixels are processed according
to their quality values from highest to lowest. Several improvements have been proposed during
the last few years with the purpose of using it in time demanding applications. However, many of the
proposals depend on the distribution of the values on the given quality map. In this article, it is proposed
a novel pruning strategy in a red-black tree data structure whose time complexity is independent of the
distribution of the given quality map. We take advantage of the partial ordering of the branches in a redblack
tree together with a pruning strategy to speed up the unwrapping process. Experimental results,
using real and simulated data show that the time complexity of our proposal improves the existing quality
guide based algorithms. Also, a series of interferometric patterns of a time varying phase distribution
experiment have been processed showing that our proposal can be used for real-time applications. The
source code of the implemented algorithms is publicly available.
