Abstract: The chromatic vision correction resin glasses with reduced concave reflection is manufactured according to the following steps. First, the resin eyeglass is dyed chemically to meet the requirements of 4 sorts (21 kinds) of chromatogram correction curves. Second, the convex of resin eyeglass is coated in a vacuum environment with a CF film, the thickness of which should be controlled to make the light permeability of the dyed resin eyeglass decrease about 10% to lower the reflection of its concave. Third, in order to reduce concave reflection further, it is practicable to coat the concave with permeance promotion film by evaporation. This technique can eliminate the visual disturbance of eyes imaging which occurs in the surrounding of intensive light. As a result, the effect of chromatic vision correction is improved. Meanwhile, it also can diminish the production cost, increase productivity, so that it not only achieves the aim of chromatic vision correction, but also has the effect of eyes' protection.

Abstract: A computer implemented software device for estimating background tilt and offset is disclosed to preferably be adaptable to an optical measurement instrument wherein the estimated parameters are resolved to generate a reference plane to be subtracted from a height map of a phase profile. A set of histograms of heights is used to develop a merit function. A two-dimensional high speed iterative search is used to optimize the merit function to generate a reference plane coincident with the spatial tilt of the phase profile. The invention enables real-time measurement of substrate height for preferred use in high-speed image processing operations relating to circuit-board production lines.
