Abstract
As the non-diffracting beam has a very small central spot diameter and a long non-diffracting distance of transmission, fairly high measuring accuracy and continuous measurement can be expected from its application in straightness error measurement. The accuracy of center positioning of non-diffracting beam is vital to the accuracy of straightness error measurement. Traditional methods of locating spot center are not suitable to non-diffracting beam. A new method of global center detection for non-diffracting beam is proposed. In order to verify the performance of this method, theoretical and experimental analyses were conducted. The results show that the presented method is effective. The center location of non-diffracting beam with noise is realized with subpixel sensitivity and high anti-interference ability.
