Abstract

Increasing demand for highly accurate freeform aspheric surfaces requires accurate and efficient measurement techniques. One promising possibility uses a sub-aperture scanning system that measures local curvature variations across the part. In this paper, we develop and demonstrate two different data processing algorithms, a zonal approach using Southwell integration method and a modal approach leveraging Zernike curvature basis, that reconstruct the surface 3-dimensional profiles from the curvature data. The performance of suggested methods and the sensitivity to noise is diagnosed for various SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) cases.
