Abstract

A method for compensating the artifacts generated by moving measurement objects in measurement signals of swept-source OCT systems by moving measurement objects. Signal reconstruction is implemented without the aid of additional reference signals in respect of the movement of the measurement object and only by way of especially adapted algorithms. Example methods relate firstly to the especially adapted, Fourier transform-based algorithms for processing the captured measurement signals and secondly to the measurement signals to be captured, in particular to the optical coherence interferometry-based measurement systems used for the production thereof. Although the proposed method is provided for applications in ophthalmology in particular, it can be used, in principle, wherever signals reflected by curved surfaces or backscattered from structures are analyzed.
