The set of images in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 depict the test interferogram analyzed using ParSA and the best interferogram solution found by ParSA.  When compared visually, the two interferograms are nearly indistinguishable.  This comparison shows that the solution found by the ParSA algorithm is a good one.

The solutions found by simulated annealing feature two ambiguities that are a result of the nature of light.  The first ambiguity results from the fact that a mirror transformation of the surfaces about a vertical plane do not change the interferogram.  The second ambiguity is a result of the periodic nature of light and can be seen in differences present in the distances between surfaces between the test and solution surfaces.
