Abstract

In optical workshops, Ronchi test is used to determine the optical quality of any concave surface while the surface is in the polishing process its quality is verified based on the technician experience. We describe a method based on digital image superposition between a real Ronchigram with an ideal obtained by a computer simulation program. The real Ronchigram image is processed by an erosion algorithm to obtain its skeleton. We supposed a linear relationship between the separation of each fringe for both experimental and ideal fringes, to obtain in this way the desired surface. Such method allows us to compute in a direct way the transversal aberration of the surface under test.
