To deal with the problem of phase-shifting interefrometry with different unknown phase shifts, some special designed algorithms have been put forward by former researchers, such as the advanced iterative algorithm (AIA) and the principal component analysis (PCA) demodulation algorithms. This paper proposes a novel solution for it. Firstly, the captured phase-shifting interefrograms are differentiated to remove the additive background term. Then the trigonometric functions of the modulation phase can be extracted with the blind signal separation method. Simulations and experiments have been carried out to validate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, where both open and closed fringe patterns are involved. Besides, the comparison results with the AIA and PCA algorithms are also provided.
