2022, Optics and Lasers in EngineeringCitation Excerpt :The paper concludes with a set of numerical simulations assessing the capability of the approach when multiple primary aberrations are present in the system. As can be seen from Fig. 1 primary aberrations generate characteristic focal spot distortion patterns through focus, as discussed by Nijboer in his thesis [18]. For example, in the presence of astigmatism the out of focus intensity distributions are elongated along one direction, with the direction of elongation rotating by 90 degrees when going through focus.
GPU-based processing of Hartmann–Shack images for accurate and high-speed ocular wavefront sensing
2019, Future Generation Computer SystemsCitation Excerpt :This reduces the execution time but also degrades its accuracy. Once the centroids of all the spots have been calculated, the next step is fitting the Zernike polynomial derivatives to the displacements of the spots to obtain the so-called Zernike coefficients [27–30] by solving an overdetermined equation system. In order to parallelize this step, we have tested two different methods.

The contents of this paper (as well as of Part 11)) form part of the author's thesis, Groningen 1942. Earlier publication of Part II was prevented due to unforeseen circumstances. The diffraction pattern in the presence of larger aberrations will be considered in another communication.
