A method for aligning a sphere to a desired orientation includes imaging a non-surface alignment feature of the sphere and calculating a current orientation of the sphere based on an image of the non-surface alignment feature. Using these calculations, a relationship between the current orientation of the sphere and the desired orientation of the sphere is calculated and communicated to a motion control device, and aligning the sphere into the desired orientation using the motion control device.

L'invention porte sur un procédé pour aligner une sphère dans une orientation voulue, lequel procédé comprend l'imagerie d'un élément d'alignement non superficiel de la sphère et le calcul d'une orientation actuelle de la sphère en fonction d'une image de l'élément d'alignement non superficiel. A l'aide de ces calculs, une relation entre l'orientation actuelle et l'orientation voulue de la sphère est calculée et communiquée à un dispositif de commande de mouvement, et permet d'aligner la sphère dans l'orientation voulue à l'aide du dispositif de commande de mouvement.
