METHODS<br />

4) New image processing tools: possibility of choosing different processing<br />

parameters (thresholds, Zernike order to fit), as well as using default values; manual<br />

selection of the Region of Interest or of the images to exclude from the processing<br />

when necessary; possibility of undoing the last change; on-line visualization of<br />

parameters significant for the processing such as maximum intensity of the images or<br />

spot diagram (joint plot of the centroids of the images already processed).<br />

5) A graphic as well as numeric presentation of the results that allows easy<br />

detection of series that do not follow the common trend or do not have the same<br />

measurement conditions as the rest of the series of the same session. The results file<br />

also includes a worksheet were corneal aberrations are saved when available, in order<br />

to summarize all the related results in one file.<br />

A snapshot of the processing software interface is shown in Fig. 2. 26. Basically,<br />

raw images are processed (background subtraction, filters <strong>and</strong> masks application,<br />

thresholds setting, etc) in order to isolate each aerial image <strong>and</strong> locate the<br />

corresponding centroid (Fig. 2. 27). Then, the relative distance of each centroid to that<br />

of the central ray is calculated (transverse aberration), <strong>and</strong> the wave aberration is then<br />

estimated by fitting the transverse aberration corresponding to each sampled point to<br />

the derivatives of the Zernike polynomials, using a least squares method (Cubalchini,<br />

1979). The interface (Fig. 2. 26) allows the user to visualize the raw images, select the<br />

next processing to apply to the image <strong>and</strong> check the image appearance after processing<br />

has been applied, with the corresponding centroid position superimposed on the<br />

image. As previously mentioned, a joint plot with all the centroids positions (spot<br />

diagram) is also available. The program extracts the input data necessary for the wave<br />
