Robust and precise algorithm for aspheric surfaces characterization by the conic section
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: A new algorithm for precise characterisation of rotationally symmetric aspheric surfaces by the conic section and polynomial according to the ISO 10110 standard is described. Methods: The algorithm uses only the iterative linear least squares. It uses fitting the surface form in a combination with terms containing its spatial derivatives that represent infinitesimal transformations of form. Results: The algorithm reaches sub-nanometre residuals even though the aspheric surface is translated and rotated in the space. Conclusion: he algorithm is computationally robust and an influence of local surface imperfections can be easily reduced by use of a criterion for residuals.

Cone spline approximation via fat conic spline fitting
Fat conic section and fat conic spline are defined. With well established properties of fat conic splines, the problem of approximating a ruled surface by a tangent smooth cone spline can then be changed as the problem of fitting a plane fat curve by a fat conic spline. Moreover, the fitting error between the ruled surface and the cone spline can be estimated explicitly via fat conic spline fit...
متن کاملStudy of Optical Models Regarding the Human Eye
Introduction: Until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. In recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. Material and Methods: In this article, some of these models are considered. They incl...
متن کاملOptical changes of the human cornea as a function of age.
PURPOSE To assess the changes of the surfaces and optical properties of the cornea as a function of age. METHODS The corneal shape of 407 normal eyes of 211 subjects with ages ranging from 4 to 79 years old was determined by means of Scheimpflug imaging. These data were analyzed by fitting their elevation topographies to a general surface model, which consists of a biconic plus a Zernike poly...
متن کاملModeling of Epistemic Uncertainty in Reliability Analysis of Structures Using a Robust Genetic Algorithm
In this paper the fuzzy structural reliability index was determined through modeling epistemic uncertainty arising from ambiguity in statistical parameters of random variables. The First Order Reliability Method (FORM) has been used and a robust genetic algorithm in the alpha level optimization method has been proposed for the determination of the fuzzy reliability index. The sensitivity level ...
متن کاملA New Approach to Characterising Aspheric Surfaces
In this paper, a new approach to fitting aspheric surfaces in three-dimensional space is proposed, based on the nonlinear least-squares algorithm. The method is superior to conventional solutions as all the surface parameters can be estimated simultaneously based on the design equation, thus allowing the result to be directly compared to design parameters. Conventionally, aspheric surfaces can ...
