Abstract
We present a geometric sensor to restore the local tip-tilt in a segmented surface using the Van Dam and Lane algorithm [M. A. van Dam and R. G. Lane, Appl. Opt.41(26), 5497–5502 (2002)]. The paper also presents an implementation of this algorithm using graphical processing units as specialized hardware. This compute unified device architecture implementation achieves real-time results inside the stability time of the atmosphere for resolutions of up to 1024×1024 pixels.
