Phase unwrapping is a common problem in many phase measuring techniques. Glodstein’s branch-cut algorithm is one of classic ways of phase unwrapping, but it need rectifying. First the paper introduces the characteristics of residual points and describes Glodstein’s branch-cut algorithm in detail. Then the paper discusses the improvements on the algorithm by changing branch setting and adding pretreatment. Last the paper summarizes the new algorithm and gets the better result by using computer emulation mode and validation test.
A three dimensional (3D) measurement method for train wheel surface is proposed based on S-transform profilometry. This method is based on S-transform in fringe analysis. A fringe pattern with a carrier frequency component is projected onto the wheel tread, the deformed fringe patterns caused by the height distribution of wheel surface is recorded as an image, and the fundamental spectrum of S-transform spectra from the image is abstracted by use of weighting filters, then the wrapped phase is obtained by IFFT of the fundamental spectrum. 2D-SRNCP (sorting by reliability following a non-continuous path) phase unwrapping algorithm is used to unwrap phase, which can be used to reconstruct the surface distribution of wheel. Simulation and testing experiment is taken and the result shows that, comparing with light-section method, this method can realize a faster inspection and a higher accuracy measurement of 3D wheel surface.
