View original public information →Facing the astronomical wavefront test bench, the subaperture light spot and wavefront are used as the observation route, and the subaperture center and matching are planned to be output. The page is for project evaluation and does not mean that the development has been completed or has been accepted on site.

Existing algorithmic evidence:A101–A112 only complete analytical synthesis spot and controlled geometry verification; see laser_spot_benchmark.json
Light point extraction can only be used as an observation front-end, and core capabilities such as three-dimensional reconstruction, closed-loop control, wavefront or physical quantity inversion need to be developed and verified separately.
Gaps in this scenario:Slope conversion, wavefront integration/Zernike fitting and defect reconstruction need to be added; the centroid itself does not output the wavefront. Atmospheric wavefront reconstruction and control are still lacking. Point observation only supports the acquisition/tracking front end, and the data link needs to be implemented independently.
Route-level gaps:Need to add slope conversion, wavefront integration/Zernike fitting and defect reconstruction; the centroid itself does not output the wavefront
"New cores required" only describes the relative development volume and does not constitute a commitment to accuracy, tempo, stability or delivery time.
Use an independent interferometer or known aberration phase element to verify slope, reconstruction residuals, and dynamic range. Known angle motion table, communication reference and disturbance injection test
| Acceptance items | Evidence required for project confirmation | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs and samples | Real device original frames, normal/abnormal samples, exposure and light path conditions, sample grouping and set aside | Not provided, waiting for project input |
| Magnitude and Error | Independent reference value, calibration record, error statistical caliber and mutual confirmation threshold | Not verified |
| Exceptions and boundaries | Anticipated handling of missed detections, false detections, overexposure, occlusion, reflection, out-of-view and communication abnormalities | To be defined |
| System integration | Interface, time synchronization, deployment platform, tempo, log, version and continuous running record | Not integrated |
The source supports measurement principles or similar applications; the module combination, device and acceptance method in this scenario are engineering derivation, and product verification has not been completed.
