Phase unwrapping using Chebyshev polynomials

Phase unwrapping is an intermediate step for interferogram analysis. The phase associated with an interferogram can be estimated using a curve mesh of functions. Each of these functions can be approximated by a linear combination of basis functions. Chebyshev polynomials in addition to being a family of orthogonal polynomials can be defined recursively. In this work a method for phase unwrapping using Chebyshev polynomials is proposed. Results show good performance when applied to synthetic images without noise and also to synthetic images with noise.
