Multifocal glasses are a new type of lens that can fit both nearsighted and farsighted vision on the same lens. This property allows the glass to have various curvatures in distinct regions within the glass during the grinding process. However, when the curvature varies irregularly, the glass is prone to optical deformation during imaging. Most of the previous studies on imaging deformation focus on the deformation correction of optical lenses. Consequently, this research uses an automatic deformation defect detection system for multifocal glasses to replace professional assessors. To quantify the grade of deformation of curved multifocal glasses, we first digitally imaged a pattern of concentric circles through a test glass to generate an imaged image of the glass. Second, we preprocess the image to enhance the clarity of the concentric circles' appearance. A centroid-radius model is used to represent the form variation properties of every circle in the processed image. Third, the deviation of the centroid radius for detecting deformation defects is found by a slight deviation control scheme, and we gain a difference image indicating the detected deformed regions after comparing it with the norm pattern. Fourth, based on the deformation measure and occurrence location of multifocal glasses, we build fuzzy membership functions and inference regulations to quantify the deformation's severity. Finally, a mixed model incorporating a network-based fuzzy inference and a genetic algorithm is applied to determine a quality grade for the deformation severity of detected defects. Testing outcomes show that the proposed methods attain a 94% accuracy rate of the quality levels for deformation severity, an 81% recall rate of deformation defects, and an 11% false positive rate for multifocal glass detection. This research contributes solutions to the problems of imaging deformation inspection and provides computer-aided systems for determining quality levels that meet the demands of inspection and quality control.
