Phase change/phase shift in leaf surface moisture

Hi, I am writing a phase retrieval algorithm, I have few different images that represent different milliliter of water on the leaf surface( leaf surface moisture) that needed to be inserted into the algorithm to see the phase change/phase shift that happened in each millimeter of water on the leaf surface, but I am not too sure how to see the phase change/phase shift of each image and compare it. Do I represent the phase change/phase shift in the graph or there are other methods to see the phase change/phase shift? Do I plot the phase or get a value? May I get some helps with this? I will attach all of the input images here. Thank you.

Here is the code:

 close all; clc; workspace; 
            
    Iterations = 1100;       %Number of iterations 
    p = 0.1;                 %Time to pause between display of images 
    tic;                     %Timer Initialization
    error = [];
    
    %This whole part is to generate a mesh plot, i still dont know what info
    %can get from here but just leave it first. 
    x = linspace(-10,10,256);
    y = linspace(-10,10,256);
    [X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
    x0 = 0;     	 	 % Center
    y0 = 0;     		 % Center
    sigma = 2; 		 % Beam Waistfringes
    A = 1;      		 % Peak of the Beam 
    %These 2 lines, res and Source, is basically input intensity. U need
    %this in order to get the exponential image to process ltr.
    res = ((X-x0).^2 + (Y-y0).^2)./(2*sigma^2);  
    Source = A  .* exp(-res); 
    %These 2 lines is for mesh plot also, ignore first
    surf(Source);
    shading interp 
    
    %Reading Fringe Image (Target)
    Target = imread('0ml(1).jpeg');
    Target = rgb2gray(Target);
    Target = im2double(Target);
    
    
    %Get the size of Target
    [rowsimgA, colsimgA, numberOfColorChannelsimgA] = size(Source);
    [rowsimgB, colsimgB, numberOfColorChannelsimgB] = size(Target);
    
    
    %imresize function is basically to resize any image to a particular size.
    %In this code u can see that i resize the Source beam input to the same
    %size as the target image in the format of (Target, [rows, columns])
    if rowsimgB ~= rowsimgA || colsimgA ~= colsimgB
        Target = imresize(Target, [rowsimgA colsimgA]); 
    end
    %FFT process
    A = fftshift(ifft2(fftshift(Target)));
    
    
    %Initiate loop
    % The loop im not too sure yet, but basically when u multiplay the source
    % and the phase, u produce exponential image, and then u do fft and ifft in
    % order to reconstruct the image.
    for i = 1:Iterations
      B = abs(Source) .* exp(1i*angle(A)); 
      C = fftshift(fft2(fftshift(B)));
      D = abs(Target) .* exp(1i*angle(C));
      A = fftshift(ifft2(fftshift(D)));
      error = [error; (1/sqrt(rowsimgA*colsimgA)*sqrt(sum(sum(abs(C)-abs(Target)).^2)))];  
    end
    
    %Display Outputs
    figure(2), imagesc(Target), colorbar, title('Original Fringe')
    figure(3), i = 1:1:i; plot(i,(error')); title('Error');

Make it easy for us - format your code as code with the code icon.

And I see some magenta blobs that are in different locations in each image. Exactly what is phase in these images? How do I know that the phase is different for each image?

Hi sir, thank you for your reply. I apologize for the code format, I have edit it with the code icon now. Regarding your questions, the topic i'm doing now is interferometry, and it produces fringes that you see on each of the images. Each of these fringes will contain the phase values/ information, what my code suppose to do is to retrieve the phase information/ values of each images and then i need to see the phase change/phase shift that happened on each image, but im not sure how i can do this and i fail to do so. Based on the algorithm, i need to prove that as the moisture level increase/decrease, the phase value will increase/decrease as well/ the phase value will sfhift towards certain degree. Now I don't know am i suppose to see the phase change/phase shift of each images via a graph or other methods. I hope you can help me with this. Thank you.
