Connections between transport of intensity equation and two-dimensional phase unwrapping

Optics 2017-04-14 v1

Abstract

In a recent publication [Appl. Opt. 55, 2418 (2016)], a method for two-dimensional phase unwrapping based on the transport of intensity equation (TIE) was studied. We wish to show that this approach is associated with the standard least squares phase unwrapping algorithm, but with additional numerical errors.

Comments

This paper was initially sumbitted to Applied Optics in March, 2016 as a COMMENT. Unfortunately, it was rejected due to the strong opposition from one reviewer. However, I believe the points raised in the COMMENT is interesting and meaningful. So here I just want to share it with you all
