question about units

[ken-sakaie]

What units are the unwrapped phase in? I sent in phase images with values ranging from 0 to 4095.
Output values ranged from -169.820160 to 195.847427.
I'm guessing that the range is some multiple of pi radians, but I would appreciate some specificity.
Apologies in advance if the answer is in the documentation and I was too lazy to find it.

Thanks for asking!

ROMEO interprets the input phase as a wrapped phase being in the range [-pi;pi]. That means for your dataset it is rescaled [0;4095] -> [-pi;pi] and is then in radians [rad].
This rescaled image is unwrapped and the output is also in [rad].

The output range (-169.820160 to 195.847427) is arbitrary, as it is probably given by the unwrapping of noise voxels. 170 is about 50 wraps (which usually only occurs for noise).

Does this explanation help?
Please keep this issue open, as I'm also updating the README (when I have more time)

Korbinian, To clarify, is it ok for the input to ROMEO have a range from 0 through 4095? Alternatively, should I manually scale the phase maps to -pi through pi before giving it to ROMEO? Thanks, Ken

Yes, the range 0 through 4095 is a valid input range for ROMEO, manual scaling is not necessary.
Did you encounter problems with the unwrapping?

[ken-sakaie]

Korbinian, Thanks for the reply. The unwrapping did work! We're quite happy with the results from romeo in general. Thanks, Ken
