Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de mesure d'aberration servant à évaluer l'aberration d'une image d'un point lumineux détectée par un photodétecteur ainsi que l'image du point lumineux au moyen d'un instrument peu coûteux et à haute vitesse. A partir d'un signal d'observation modèle et d'un signal d'observation acquis d'un signal de sortie de balayage du photodétecteur recevant l'image de point lumineux, le procédé consiste à analyser l'aberration d'un système optique formant l'image de point lumineux en fonction de données recueillies en au moins deux emplacements.
