    摘要: A system for determining the shape of an object and/or a distance of the object from the system includes a first plurality of light source, a second plurality of light sources, and a detector or detector array. The first plurality of light sources are disposed about a central axis and are separated from the central axis by radial distances defining an aperture in the first plurality of light sources. The system also includes an optical system adapted to provide light from the second plurality of light sources through the aperture to the object. The system may further include a computer configured to determine the shape of the object and/or the distance of the object from the system using light from the first and second plurality of light sources that is reflected from the object and received by the detector.

    摘要: A system for determining a surface shape of a test object includes a pattern having a plurality of first elements dispose about a central axis and defining an aperture containing the central axis. The first elements includes a plurality of common elements having a common form and a reference element having a reference form that is different than the common form. The system further comprises a detector array and an optical system. The optical system is adapted to provide an image of the first elements when light reflects off a surface of a test object, passes through the aperture, and is received by the detector array. The reference form may be configured to facilitate an association between the common elements and the spot images of the common elements.

    摘要: A method of compensating for misalignment between an optical measurement instrument and a model eye includes: receiving a light beam from the model eye at the optical measurement instrument; producing image data, including light spot data for a plurality of light spots, from the received light beam; determining an observed location of a corneal reflex from the model eye within an image representing the image data; and determining an angle of misalignment between an axis normal to the front surface of the model eye and the optical axis of the optical measurement instrument from the observed location of the corneal reflex within the image.
