7. A method for measuring a rotational and positional offset between a first imaging device and a second imaging device, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an image of a fixture with the first and second imaging device;
superimposing a marker in a nominal position over the images of the fixture taken with the first and second imaging device;
moving the marker from the nominal position in the image obtained with the first imaging device to a position that is substantially aligned with the images of the fixture;
moving the marker from the nominal position in the image obtained with the second imaging device to a position that is substantially aligned with the images of the fixture; and
comparing movement information of the marker in the first image with movement information of the marker in the second image to determine the rotational and positional offset between the first and second imaging devices. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
an imaging system comprising a Hartmann-Shack camera and a pupil camera;
a calibration apparatus comprising an aperture that is positionable in an optical path of the Hartmann-Shack camera and pupil camera; and
a control system coupled to the imaging system, wherein the control system is configured to have a first mode and a second mode, wherein the control system in the first mode superimposes a marker in a nominal position over an image of the calibration apparatus taken with the Hartmann-Shack camera and an image taken with the pupil camera and allows the marker to be moved into substantial alignment with the image of the asymmetric aperture, wherein the control system in the second mode compares the type of movement of the marker in the image taken with the Hartmann-Shack camera with the type of movement of the marker in the image taken with the pupil camera so as to determine the positional and rotational offset between the Hartmann-Shack camera and the pupil camera. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
