Patent ID: 7072047

Claim:
A method of correcting optical coherence tomography (OCT) data obtained from a layered media having at least one interface, the method comprising: from the obtained OCT data, identifying the at least one interface; and correcting the OCT data for distortion at the at least one interface, wherein identifying the at least one interface includes: transforming the obtained OCT data into a binary image; searching a plurality of OCT image data columns sequentially for upper and lower boundaries of the at least one interface; based on the searching step, assigning interface data points based on a set of predetermined rules regarding the at least one interface; applying a first predetermined geometric fit to the assigned interface points of the at least one interface; applying a plurality of predetermined rejection rules to the assigned interface points; rejecting assigned interface points according to the predetermined rejection rules; and applying a second predetermined geometric fit to any remaining assigned interface points.
