[SciPy-User] 2D phase unwrapping

[Gregor Thalhammer]

Hi all,

I have beend searching for an implementation for phase unwrapping in 2D (and possibly also 3D). I found this old thread in the numpy mailing list

http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2008-November/038873.html

which mentions the C implementation from GERI: http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/GERI/90202.htm

While searching I found remarks by the authors that these algorithms have been incorporated into scipy, however I am unable to find them in current scipy or numpy. Am I missing something obvious? 
Instead I found this wrapper: https://github.com/pointtonull/pyunwrap
This seems to be based on a wrapper already mentioned in the above mentioned discussion, but the links mentioned there are dead. I added some setup.py, and with some small modifications I managed to compile the extension both on OS X and Windows. 

I would like to see these algorithms included in scipy, and I am willing to work on this. So now my questions: In the old numpy-discussion thread licensing issues are raised, can anybody tell more? On the GERI homepage they distribute their code under a non-commercial-use license, but the authors seem to agree on incorporating their code into scipy. 
Except from this, what else would be required?

Thanks for any advice
Gregor
