title: Regularization methods for processing fringe-pattern images.
abstract: A powerful technique for processing fringe-pattern images is based on Bayesian estimation theory with prior Markov random-field models. In this approach the solution of a processing problem is characterized as the minimizer of a cost function with terms that specify that the solution should be compatible with the available observations and terms that impose certain (prior) constraints on the solution. We show that, by the appropriate choice of these terms, one can use this approach in almost every processing step for accurate and robust interferogram demodulation and phase unwrapping.
