Patent Images
1. A method for determining a centroid coordinate of an image spot in a system for measuring an ocular aberration, comprising:
- a) determining a search region having a border;
b) identifying a first pixel in the search region, the first;
pixel having a first intensity value;
c) determining an upper threshold intensity value greater than the first intensity value;
d) searching for a second pixel within the search region having an intensity value that is greater than the upper threshold intensity value;
e) upon finding the second pixel, designating the first pixel an integration region center; and
f) determining a lower threshold intensity value less than the first intensity value, and wherein step (e) is performed only if at least one intensity values between the first pixel and the second pixel is less than the lower threshold intensity value.

Abstract
A method for determining a centroid coordinate of an image spot, comprising a) determining a search region having a border, b) identifying a first pixel in the search region, the pixel having a first intensity value, c) determining an upper threshold intensity value greater than the first intensity value, d) searching for a second pixel within the search region having an intensity value that is greater than the upper threshold intensity value, and e) upon finding the second pixel, designating the first pixel an integration region center.

6. A system for measuring an ocular aberration, comprising:
-
an aberrometer including a lenslet component for forming an image containing an array of image spots; a sensor positioned to detect the image spot array; a processor component including executable software that provides an instruction for determining a centroid coordinate of each of said image spots, wherein the instruction comprises; a) determining a search region having a border; b) identifying a first pixel in the search region, the first pixel having a first intensity value; c) determining an upper threshold intensity value greater than the first intensity value; d) searching for a second pixel within the search region having an intensity value that is greater than the upper threshold intensity value; and e) upon finding the second pixel, designating the first pixel an integration region center; and f) determining a lower threshold intensity value less than the first intensity value, and wherein step (e) is performed only if at least one intensity values between the first pixel and the second pixel is less than the lower threshold intensity value. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
