Application of Wrapping and Unwrapping Phase Algorithms for Fringe Projection Images.

A system for detecting an inversion of burst phase of a video signal, includes a reference color subcarrier signal generator for generating a reference color subcarrier signal whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the color burst signal of the video signal, and a phase comparator for comparing in phase the color burst signal of the video signal and the reference color subcarrier signal. When the level change in an output signal of the phase comparator exceeds a predetermined reference level, the system produces an indication signal indicating that the burst phase of the video signal is inverted.
