Process, system and software arrangement for determining at least one location in a sample using an optical coherence tomography

A process to determine at least one position of at least one portion of a sample, comprising the steps of:

• obtaining information associated with the at least one portion of the sample, the at least one portion being associated with an interference signal that includes a first electro-magnetic radiation received from the sample and a second electromagnetic radiation received from a reference;
• obtaining at least one of depth information or lateral information of the at least one portion of the sample;
• applying at least one weight function to the at least one of the depth information or the lateral information so as to generate resulting information;
• and
• ascertaining a particular information which is at least one of a surface position, a lateral position or a depth position of the at least one portion of the sample based on the resulting information.

A software arrangement adapted to determine at least one position of at least one portion of a sample, comprising:

• a first set of instructions which, when executed by a processing arrangement, obtains information associated with the at least one portion of the sample, the at least one portion being associated with an interference signal that includes a first electromagnetic radiation received from the sample and a second electromagnetic radiation received from a reference;
• a second set of instructions which, when executed by a processing arrangement, obtains at least one of depth information or lateral information of the at least one portion of the sample;
• a third set of instructions which, when executed by the processing arrangement, applies at least one weight function to the at least one of the depth information or the lateral information so as to generate resulting information;
• and
• a fourth set of instructions which, when executed by the processing arrangement, ascertains a particular information which is at least one of a surface position, a lateral position or a depth position of the at least one portion of the sample based on the resulting information.
