Abstract
A system is disclosed for determining optical correction information of optical equipment. The system includes a camera system for capturing at least one camera image, a target, toward which the camera system is directed, a detection area between the camera system and the target for receiving the optical equipment including at least one lens, and a processing system with a searching routine for determining at least one center of the at least one lens based on the at least one camera image of the target via the optical equipment.
Claims20
A system for determining optical correction information of optical equipment, wherein the optical correction information is not known a priori, said system comprising a camera system, a target, toward which the camera system is directed, a detection area between the camera system and the target for receiving the optical equipment including at least one lens, and a processing system with a searching routine for determining at least one center of the at least one lens based on a plurality of images of the target acquired by the camera system as the target is viewed through the optical equipment in the detection area.
A method of determining optical correction information of optical equipment including at least one lens, wherein the optical correction information is not known a priori, said method comprising positioning the optical equipment in a detection area, the detection area located between a camera system and a target, capturing a plurality of images with the camera system, said plurality of images including an image of the target viewed through the optical equipment in the detection area, and determining at least one center of the lens using a searching routine based on the plurality of images of the target viewed through the optical equipment.
A system for determining optical correction information of optical equipment, wherein the optical correction information is not known a priori, said system comprising a camera system for capturing at least one camera image for capturing successive images, a target, toward which the camera system is directed, a detection area between the camera system and the target for receiving the optical equipment including at least one lens, and a processing system with a searching routine for determining at least one center of the at least one lens based on the successive images of the target as viewed through the optical equipment.
