RESUMEN
From generalized phase-shifting equations, we propose a simple linear system analysis for algorithms with equally and nonequally spaced phase shifts. The presence of a finite number of harmonic components in the fringes of the intensity patterns is taken into account to obtain algorithms insensitive to these harmonics. The insensitivity to detuning for the fundamental frequency is also considered as part of the description of this study. Linear systems are employed to recover the desired insensitivity properties that can compensate linear phase shift errors. The analysis of the wrapped phase equation is carried out in the Fourier frequency domain.
RESUMEN
A simple phase estimation employing cubic and average interpolations to solve the oversampling problem in smooth modulated phase images is described. In the context of a general phase-shifting process, without phase-unwrapping, the modulated phase images are employed to recover wavefront shapes with high fringe density. The problem of the phase reconstruction by line integration of its gradient requires a form appropriate to the calculation of partial derivatives, especially when the phase to recover has higher-order aberration values. This is achieved by oversampling the modulated phase images, and many interpolations can be implemented. Here an oversampling procedure based on the analysis of a quadratic cost functional for phase recovery, in a particular case, is proposed.
RESUMEN
In this manuscript, some interesting properties for generalized or nonuniform phase-shifting algorithms are shown in the Fourier frequency space. A procedure to find algorithms with equal amplitudes for their sampling function transforms is described. We also consider in this procedure the finding of algorithms that are orthogonal for all possible values in the frequency space. This last kind of algorithms should closely satisfy the first order detuning insensitive condition. The procedure consists of the minimization of functionals associated with the desired insensitivity conditions.
