Phase unwrapping for a noisy image suffers from many singular points. Singularity-spreading methods are useful for the noisy image to regularize the singularity. However, the methods have a drawback of distorting phase distribution in a regular area that contains no singular points. When the singular points are confined in some local areas, the regular region is not distorted. This paper proposes a new phase unwrapping algorithm that uses a localized compensator obtained by clustering and by solving Poisson's equation for the localized areas. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the accuracy compared with other singularity-spreading methods.

We propose a single-step method appropriated for a fiber-optic probe-based full-range spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). The fiber-optic probe was scanned over a sample with a magnetically driven actuator. In the reference arm, a phase shift of π/2 was applied during two neighbor axial scanning, from which the complex spectral interferogram was directly reconstructed. Since the complex-conjugate-free OCT image is obtained by doing just one Fourier transform on the complex interferogram, obtaining the full-range image is simple in algorithm and effective in computation time. Some full-range images of biological samples created with the proposed method are presented and the processing time is analyzed.
