SHAPE MEASUREMENT OF SMALL OPTICAL TARGETS

Abstract

Techniques were developed to determine the shapes of optical objects from images corrupted by noise, diffraction and aberrations. Theoretical and experimental investigations were conducted using these techniques. The major part of the study has been reported in detail in several Scientific Reports but is reviewed here, along with the results of some preliminary and subsidiary work.
