In a process for optical coherence tomography a plurality of first OCT slice images (34), each first slice image representing a different slice of an object (12), are recorded. Subsequently a reference figure (44) that is representative of the three-dimensional contour of at least one structural feature (36) of the object (12) in a given three-dimensional coordinate system x, y, z is ascertained by feature recognition of the at least one structural feature (36) in the first slice images (34). Then a plurality of second OCT slice images (46), each second slice image representing a different slice of the object (12), are recorded. At least a fraction of the second slice images (46) are displaced in the coordinate system x, y, z until each second slice image (46) is in feature overlap with the reference figure (44). Lastly, a set of three-dimensional OCT image data is generated at least from the feature-overlapped second slice images (46).
