GeneralizedPSDH(I)

return object wave extracted by the generalized phase-shifting method. See (Creath, 1988), (Schreiber and Bruning, 2006). Store N interferograms in a three-dimensional array as I[:,:,1], I[:,:,2], ..., I[:,:,N]. Phase difference $\delta_{n}$ corresponding to the n-th interferogram is assumed to be $\delta_{n} = \dfrac{2\pi}{N}n$.

PSDH2(I₁, I₂, Iᵣ, δ)

return object wave extracted by the two-step phase-shifting method (see Ref. 1).

Arguments

• I₁, I₂: Interferograms corresponding to phases $\phi$ and $\phi - \delta$, respectively.
• Iᵣ: intensity of reference wave.
• δ: phase difference $\delta$.

PSDH3(I₁, I₂, I₃, δ)

return object wave extracted by the three-step phase-shifting method (see Ref. 1, 2). Phases of I₁, I₂, and I₃ correspond to $\phi - \delta$, $\phi$, and $\phi + \delta$, respectively.

PSDH4(I₁, I₂, I₃, I₄)

return object wave extracted by the four-step phase-shifting method. See (Creath, 1988), (Schreiber and Bruning, 2006). Phase difference δ corresponding to I₁, I₂, I₃, and I₄ are assumed to be $\delta = 0, \dfrac{\pi}{2}, \pi$, and $\dfrac{3\pi}{2}$, respectively.

ParallelPSDH(I)

return object wave extracted by the parallel four-step phase-shifting method (see Ref. 1, 2). Using 2x2 pixels with phase differences of $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ each as units, the object wave is extracted through the four-step phase-shifting method.
