Temporal phase unwrapping is a method of analyzing fringe patterns in which the fringe phase Phi at each pixel is measured and unwrapped as a function of time t. We propose two methods for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the total phase change by incorporating data from the intermediate phase values, The first involves fitting the expected curve to the measured phase history; the second involves Fourier transformation of the corresponding phasors. The performance of these methods is compared both experimentally, with data from a fringe projector based on a spatial-light modulator, and numerically. It is shown that the optimum performance is given by the Fourier transform method. The best way to use the first method is with Phi decreasing exponentially with time from its maximum value to zero; this provides significant improvements in reliability, accuracy, and computation time compared with the original temporal unwrapping algorithm.
