First, four sets of three-step phase-shifting fringe patterns with different frequencies (including 1, 8, 32, and 64) are projected to the tested objects.

A residual convolutional neural network is built, and its input data are set to be the wrapped phase maps with frequencies of 1 and 64, and the output data are set to be the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. Finally, the training dataset and the validation dataset are built to train and validate the network.
