This paper describes a computerized system for object topology control based on a white light interferometer. The theoretical fundamentals of white light interferometry and mathematical model of an inter­ferogram are presented. An overview and comparative analysis of methods for the reconstruction of the topology of surfaces based on a white light interferogram are performed, their main advantages and disadvantages are defined, and the objectives for the development of computerized systems are formulated.
