Abstract :
A novel deterministic approach to InSAR phase unwrapping, based on mean-field annealing, has been recently developed. The authors generalize the algorithm to process input phase patterns with arbitrary degree of undersampling. They show the performances of the proposed methodology on synthetic test phase surfaces
