Optical Surface Analysis System and Method

Abstract

An image analysis system and method are provided. The system can include a base for receiving an optical surface, at least one light source positioned above and at an oblique angle with respect to the optical surface, a camera positioned above the optical surface and adapted to provide an image data indicative of an image of the optical surface, and a computerized system adapted to receive the image data from the camera. The computerized system can analyze the image data to identify and quantify surface defects. Classification identifiers can be assigned to each surface defect based on the physical characteristics of the surface defect. A transmission metric is calculated for the optical surface to allow objective judgment of the surface.
