In order to measure the optical distance of the object that changes rapidly over time, Fourier transform method is appropriate because it requires only a single interferogram. In the measurements of such fast phenomena, the thermal noise by the camera to record the interferogram results in a significant error and the signal becomes weak owing to the short exposure time of the camera. When the noise level is high, a process to denoise wrapped phase should be added before phase unwrapping in order to obtain an optical distance distribution. The thermal noise has a uniform spatial distribution; however, the signal depends on a profile of the incident wave to the interferometer. This means that the signal to noise ratio has a spatial distribution. This paper proposes the denoising method that can take account of the weight of the data that depends on the signal intensity distribution. In order to determine the denoised phase, two cost functions are examined. One is a complex-valued cost function that can ensure convergence of iterative method to obtain the stationary point; however, it is not proved that both the real part and the imaginary part are minimized at the stationary point. The other is a real-valued cost function that cannot ensure the convergence but it minimizes the cost function at the stationary point. The numerical simulation demonstrates the validity of the weighted denoising and the applicability of the cost functions.
