Performance evaluation and acceleration of Flynn phase unwrapping algorithm using wraps reduction algorithms

Flynn phase unwrapping algorithm, probably, produces the best results in comparison to other methods, but it needs a long execution time. In this paper we suggest combining Flynn algorithm with wraps reduction algorithms in order to reduce its execution time and also improves its noise performance. Additionally, we propose a method that can be used to measure the success of phase unwrapping techniques. Computer simulation and experiments are used to verify the ideas proposed in this paper.
