Ferrule profile imaging and measurement

A method, comprising:

• determining, based on an image of a silhouette of a ferrule, one or more geometric characteristics of a chamfer of the ferrule, wherein the silhouette includes a portion corresponding to the chamfer of the ferrule;
• determining, based on the one or more geometric characteristics of the chamfer, a geometry associated with a first reflective interior surface of a first connector adapter of a microscope for imaging the chamfer, wherein the first connector adapter is configured to receive the chamfer of the ferrule;
• comparing, by a device, the geometry associated with the first reflective interior surface to an actual geometry of the first reflective interior surface;
• and
• analyzing, by the device, the image of the silhouette, based on the comparison, to determine whether the chamfer satisfies one or more inspection criteria for assessing suitability of the ferrule for inspection of the ferrule.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• determine, based on an image of a silhouette of a profile of a ferrule, one or more geometric characteristics of a chamfer of the ferrule, the silhouette including a portion corresponding to the chamfer of the ferrule;
• determine, based on the one or more geometric characteristics of the chamfer, a geometry associated with a first reflective interior surface of a first connector adapter of a microscope for imaging the chamfer, wherein the first connector adapter is configured to receive the chamfer of the ferrule;
• compare the geometry associated with the first reflective interior surface to an actual geometry of the first reflective interior surface;
• and
• analyze the image of the silhouette, based on the comparison, to determine whether the chamfer satisfies one or more inspection criteria for assessing suitability of the ferrule for inspection of the ferrule.
