In this paper the Teager-Kaiser energy and higher-order energy operators are proposed for efficient extraction of the fringe envelope. These energy operators are compared in terms of precision robustness to noise and subsampling. Flexible energy operators depending on order and lag parameters can be obtained. Results show that smoothing and interpolation of envelope approximation using spline model performs better than Gaussian-based approach.

INTRODUCTION Different signal processing methods have been proposed in coherence probe microscopy CPM also known as whitelight scanning interference microscopy WLSI for roughness surface measurement 1 2 . A basic problem in CPM consists in developing an efficient and precise peak detection process of the fringe envelope that corresponds to the axial position of .
