Abstract

A calibration method of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device and a camera using the same target includes irradiating a shape measurement light to a calibration target, obtaining a surface shape image thereof by detecting light reflected by a surface of the calibration target using a shape measurement camera, and calibrating the surface shape image according to an actual shape of the calibration target; obtaining surface and internal three-dimensional images of the calibration target by scanning with a layer measurement light using the OCT measurement unit, extracting a surface shape image of the calibration target from the three-dimensional images, and calibrating the surface shape image according to the actual surface shape of the calibration target; and matching a calibration image obtained by the shape measurement camera and a surface calibration image obtained by the OCT measurement unit to be displayed at the same spatial coordinates.

Claims (10)

1. A calibration method of a combined device, the calibration method comprising:

irradiating shape measurement light to a calibration target (T);

obtaining a first surface shape image of the calibration target (T) by detecting reflected light formed by the shape measurement light being reflected by a surface of the calibration target (T) by using a shape measurement camera;

calibrating the first surface shape image of the calibration target (T) obtained by the shape measurement camera according to an actual shape of the calibration target (T);

obtaining surface and internal three-dimensional images of the calibration target (T) by scanning the calibration target (T) with layer measurement light by using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device, wherein the calibration target (T) is a non-transmissive planar target having a pattern of a predetermined shape uniformly formed on a surface thereof, such that a surface image that is clear and an internal image that is more opaque than the surface image are obtained as the three-dimensional images of the calibration target (T) by the OCT device;

extracting a second surface shape image of the calibration target (T), wherein the second surface shape image is obtained as a two-dimensional image extracted from the three-dimensional images;

calibrating the second surface shape image of the calibration target (T) obtained by the OCT device according to the actual surface shape of the calibration target (T); and

matching a first calibration image obtained by the shape measurement camera and a second calibration image obtained by the OCT device so as to be displayed at the same spatial coordinates.

2. The calibration method of claim 1 , wherein the matching the first calibration image obtained by the shape measurement camera and the second calibration image obtained by the OCT device transforms the images, so that the image obtained by the shape measurement camera and the image obtained by the OCT device are displayed at the same location in one image.

3. The calibration method of claim 1 , wherein the shape measurement light is visible light, and the layer measurement light is near-infrared light.
