This work presents a novel hardware phase-unwrapping architecture for digital holographic microscopy. The architecture is based on an iterative region-referenced algorithm because of its simplicity and effectiveness for phase unwrapping. The architecture therefore consumes fewer hardware resources for very large-scale integration implementation. In addition, a novel data reuse scheme is adopted for reducing the memory bandwidth required by the architecture. The architecture can then have fast computation speed for the iterative operations. The architecture has been implemented by field programmable gate array. It acts as a hardware accelerator in an embedded system developed by a network-on-chip platform for performance measurement. The superiorities of the proposed architecture have been confirmed by the experiments.

3D printing is an indispensable technology in modern life and is widely used in aerospace, exoskeleton, and architecture. The increasing accuracy requirements of 3D printed objects in these fields require high-precision measurement methods to obtain accurate data. Based on the precision measurement requirements, in this study, a fast multifrequency phase unwrapping method based on 3D printing object appearance acquisition is proposed.

Intraventricular vector flow mapping (VFM) is an increasingly adopted echocardiographic technique that derives time-resolved two-dimensional flow maps in the left ventricle (LV) from color-Doppler sequences. Current VFM models rely on kinematic constraints arising from planar flow incompressibility. However, these models are not informed by crucial information about flow physics; most notably the forces within the fluid and the resulting accelerations.

The growing interest in reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) for wireless communications is evident, particularly in addressing challenges beyond the normal incidence condition of electromagnetic waves. This paper introduces an innovative approach to achieve beam steering in reflecting-type array structures, specifically reflectarrays, through the use of Reconfigurable Electro-Mechanical Reflectarray (REMR) technology. The REMR structure, equipped with a cam-shaped actuator beneath each unit cell's ground plane, serves as the basis for this design.

However, achieving efficient and robust phase unwrapping remains a challenge, particularly when dealing with high-frequency fringes to achieve high accuracy. Existing methods rely on heavy fringe projections, inevitably sacrificing measurement efficiency.

The scheme utilizes two characteristics, the phase-wrapping feature of a PADC and the wavelength-sensitive feature of a phase modulator, equivalently performing a dual-modulus (DM) modulo operation to avoid clipping. Coupled with an unwrapping algorithm based on the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT), the proposed scheme enables signal reconstruction from the processed signals independent of the sampling rate.
