In this study, a variational model is proposed for filtering additive and multiplicative noise in wrapped phase maps. The model includes the Pythagorean identity, which is a fundamental requirement for phase maps, as well as the total variation regularizer to maintain discontinuities. We prove that our model is well-posed, compute the Euler-Lagrange equations, and present a fixed-point convergent algorithm for solving it. The quality of the proposed model is confirmed by conducting experiments on both synthetic and real data. Additionally, the implementation of the parallel fixed-point algorithm to accelerate the model's solution is presented. Implementations consist of OpenMP and CUDA execution on a multicore CPU and GPU, respectively. A comparison of the performance of parallel implementations with state-of-the-art methods is presented using synthetic and real data. According to the findings, our parallel implementations achieve speedups of 12x for multi-core CPUs and 125x for GPUs compared to the serial implementation.
