In order to resolve the problem of speckle interference phase map noise interference, a phase denoising method of digital speckle pattern interferometry based on empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and cross correlation is proposed. First, the EWT is used to decompose the speckle phase map, and a series of components is obtained. Then the noise-free components containing phase information are extracted based on the cross correlation. After that, combined with the particle swarm optimization algorithm and sine–cosine denoising method, an improved sine–cosine denoising method is proposed to process the noise components. Finally, the noiseless components are reconstructed to obtain the denoised speckle phase map. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the noise interference and obtain accurate phase information.
