Published: October 2003

A method for recording and evaluating digital image-plane holograms is presented. Hundreds of holograms of an object that has been subjected to dynamic deformation (e.g., vibrations) are recorded. The phase of the wave front is calculated from the recorded holograms by use of a two-dimensional digital Fourier-transform method. By temporal phase unwrapping it is possible to determine the absolute deformation (included the direction of motion) of the object. Experimental results are presented, and the advantages of temporal phase unwrapping compared with spatial phase unwrapping are discussed.

We present a non-interferometric technique for quantitative phase imaging (QPI) that is cost-effective, easily integrated into standard microscopes, and capable of wide-field imaging with noncoherent light. Our method measures the phase gradient through optical differentiation using spatially variable amplitude filters, accommodating a range of transmission functions, including commercially available variable neutral-density filters. This flexibility is made possible by a general relationship we derive.

Bridge expansion joints are critical components that accommodate the movement of a bridge caused by temperature fluctuations, concrete shrinkage, and vehicular loads. Analyzing the spatiotemporal deformation of these expansion joints is essential for monitoring bridge safety. This study investigates the deformation characteristics of Hongtang Bridge in Fuzhou, China, using synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR).

Lens-free on-chip microscopy (LFOCM) is a powerful computational imaging technology that combines high-throughput capabilities with cost efficiency. However, in LFOCM, the phase recovered by iterative phase retrieval techniques is generally wrapped into the range of -π to π, necessitating phase unwrapping to recover absolute phase distributions. Moreover, this unwrapping process is prone to errors, particularly in areas with large phase gradients or low spatial sampling, due to the absence of reliable initial guesses.

Current deep learning-based phase unwrapping techniques for iToF Lidar sensors focus mainly on static indoor scenarios, ignoring motion blur in dynamic outdoor scenarios. Our paper proposes a two-stage semi-supervised method to unwrap ambiguous depth maps affected by motion blur in dynamic outdoor scenes. The method trains on static datasets to learn unwrapped depth map prediction and then adapts to dynamic datasets using continuous learning methods.
