SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OCT DEPTH CALIBRATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of calibrating an imaging system, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image that includes a target and a reference item;
detecting a location of the reference item within the image;
determining a y-value of the location;
comparing the determined y-value to a stored reference y-value;
calculating a calibration value based on the comparison; and
providing a calibrated image by shifting pixels in a y-direction according to the calibration value.

Abstract
The invention generally relates to methods for calibrating an OCT image by comparing a detected location of a feature within the image to an expected location of the feature, calculating a calibration value, and transforming the location of pixels within the image to provide a calibrated image.

16. An imaging system, the system comprising:
a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory, wherein the system is operable to; obtain an image that includes a target and a reference item; detect a location of the reference item within the image; determine a y-value of the location; compare the determined y-value to a stored reference y-value; calculate a calibration value based on the comparison; and provide a calibrated image by shifting pixels in a y-direction per the calibration value.
