چکیده

What we believe to be a novel three-dimensional (3D) phase unwrapping algorithm is proposed to unwrap 3D wrapped-phase volumes. It depends on a quality map to unwrap the most reliable voxels first and the least reliable voxels last. The technique follows a discrete unwrapping path to perform the unwrapping process. The performance of this technique was tested on both simulated and real wrapped-phase maps. And it is found to be robust and fast compared with other 3D phase unwrapping algorithms.

Fast two-dimensional simultaneous phase unwrapping and low-pass filtering.

Here, we present a fast algorithm for two-dimensional (2D) phase unwrapping which behaves as a recursive linear filter. This linear behavior allows us to easily find its frequency response and stability conditions. Previously, we published a robust to noise recursive 2D phase unwrapping system with smoothing capabilities. But our previous approach was rather heuristic in the sense that not gene...

A Fast , Automated , N - Dimensional Phase Unwrapping Algorithm FMRIB Technical Report

This report investigates the general problem of phase unwrapping for arbitrary n-dimensional phasemaps. A cost function-based approach is outlined which leads to an integer programming problem. To solve this problem a best-pair-first region merging approach is adopted as the optimisation method. The algorithm has been implemented and tested with 3D MRI medical data for fMRI applications in EPI ...

Extending the dynamic range of phase contrast magnetic resonance velocity imaging using advanced higher-dimensional phase unwrapping algorithms.

Phase contrast magnetic resonance velocity imaging is a powerful technique for quantitative in vivo blood flow measurement. Current practice normally involves restricting the sensitivity of the technique so as to avoid the problem of the measured phase being 'wrapped' onto the range -pi to +pi. However, as a result, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio are sacrificed. Alternatively, the true...

Hybrid genetic algorithm using a parametric method to solve the two- dimensional phase unwrapping problem

A hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the two-dimensional phase unwrapping problem by minimizing the L-norm between the unwrapped and wrapped phase gradients. The unwrapped phase is approximated by estimating the parameters of a function chosen by the genetic algorithm that can achieve the global minimum of the L-norm. Different predefined functions are used on the basis of the object...
