unwrap 0.1.1

Usage

The package is based on cffi and requires it for installation:

$ pip install cffi
$ pip install unwrap

The interface consists of a single function:

>>> from unwrap import unwrap
>>> unwrapped_array = unwrap(
...    wrapped_array,
...    wrap_around_axis_0=False,
...    wrap_around_axis_1=False,
...    wrap_around_axis_2=False)

It takes a 2- or 3-dimensional numpy array of floats, wrapped_array, and returns an array with the same shape with the values changed by integer multiples of 2 pi such that the whole array has the least amount of jumps.

wrapped_array can be a masked array, in this case masked entries are ignored during the phase unwrapping process. This is useful if the wrapped phase data has holes or contains invalid entries.

If the optional arguments wrap_around_axis_0 etc. are set to True, then phase unwrapping takes place also across the boundaries of the specified axis, i.e., the first and last pixel along this axis are assumed to be neighbours.

Internally the wrapped array is converted to a C-contiguous array of np.float32, therefor the unwrapped array also has this data type.

Usage examples can be found in test/test_unwrap.py.

People

The original C code by the authors mentioned above has been slightly modified by Gregor Thalhammer for using it as a library. Bogdan Opanchuk changed the Python wrapper to use cffi instead of Cython and improved packaging.
