High precision refractivity of optical glass is an important condition to ensure the image quality, mainly by the V-prism refractometer detection. In V-prism refractometer in using image alignment, the image quality of single line in the collimator directly affects the alignment accuracy in measurement, especially as the contrast between single line and background is low, affects the accuracy in measurement. A combination of selfadaptive gray equilibrium and vertical projection is proposed. This method can extract the low contrast single line, prove the effectiveness of the algorithm through the comparative experiments, and improve the angle measurement accuracy to ± 1″ , repeatability superior to 1 × 10-6 , and algorithm stability is good. It has important practical significance to achieve high precision measurement of optical glass refractive index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
