Abstract

A novel algorithm for closed fringe demodulation for an absolute phase estimation, to the best of our knowledge, is proposed. The two-dimensional phase is represented as a weighted linear combination of a certain number of Zernike polynomials (ZPs). Essentially, the problem of phase estimation is converted into the estimation of ZP coefficients. The task of ZP coefficient estimation is performed based on a state space model. Due to the nonlinear dependence of the fringe intensity measurement model on the ZP coefficients, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used for the state estimation. A pseudo-measurement model is considered based on the state vector sparsity constraint to improve the convergence performance of the EKF. Simulation and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the noise robustness and the practical applicability of the proposed method.
