  • Publication number: 20220180489
    Abstract: Generating a correction algorithm includes obtaining a model of an eye, the model including a front portion with optics to mimic a cornea and a lens of a human eye, and a rear portion having a generally hemispherical-shaped body to mimic a retina of the human eye. The rear portion includes physical reference lines on an inside surface of the generally hemispherical-shaped body. Images of the model are captured using an image capturing device aimed at the model. Vertices of the physical reference lines are identified according to a given projection technique for displaying generally hemispherical-shaped body in a two-dimensional image in the captured images. Idealized placement of the vertices of the physical reference lines is obtained according to the given projection technique. The result is a correction algorithm used to adjust any pixel of an image of an actual eye in the x-axis and in the y-axis.

  • Patent number: 10966603
    Abstract: An optical imaging device includes a support structure and imaging channels, where each imaging channel includes a discrete optical imaging pathway. The imaging channels may be disposed within the support structure, and the imaging channels may be aimed at different angles relative to each other such that each optical imaging pathway is directed towards a pupil of the eye. Additionally, the optical imaging device may include a primary fixation target configured to emit optical signals along a primary fixation target projection path towards the pupil of the eye. Further, an artifact of the primary fixation target may be generated onto a portion of the eye to be imaged.

  • Patent number: 10736506
    Abstract: An imaging device may include first and second optical channels, where each of the first and second optical channels include a discrete optical imaging pathway. The first and second optical channels may be aimed at different angles relative to each other, and each may be directed towards corresponding partially overlapping zones of an object for imaging. Each of the optical channels may include an illuminating source configured to be turned on or off, where illumination from the illuminating sources follow respective illumination paths to the object. Each of the optical channels may additionally include lenses shared by both the respective optical imaging pathways and the respective illumination paths, and each may include an image sensor. The imaging device may also include a computing device configured to turn on the illuminating source of the first optical channel while capturing an image using the image sensor of the second optical channel.

  • Patent number: 10610094
    Abstract: An optical imaging device includes a plurality of imaging channels. Each imaging channel of the plurality of imaging channels may include a discrete optical imaging pathway, and the plurality of imaging channels may be disposed within a support structure. The plurality of imaging channels may be aimed at different angles relative to each other. The optical imaging device may also include a secondary fixation target within at least one imaging channel of the plurality of imaging channels such that at least one corresponding optical imaging pathway fits through a pupil diameter that is smaller than a minimum pupil diameter for multi-channel image acquisition with primary fixation.

  • Patent number: 10448828
    Abstract: An optical imaging device may include a support structure and imaging channels, where each imaging channel may include a discrete optical imaging pathway. The optical imaging device may also include image capturing devices respectively associated with one of the imaging channels to capture a first set of digital photograph images of respective portions of the eye. In some embodiments, the first set of digital photograph images may overlap each other and may be stitched together such that the first set of digital photograph images form a first composite image with a first set of scallops. Additionally, the optical imaging device may be rotated to capture a second set of digital photograph images that overlap each other and may be stitched together such that the second set of digital photograph images form a second composite image with a second set of scallops positioned differently than the first set of scallops.

  • Publication number: 20190200859
    Abstract: An optical imaging device may include a support structure and a plurality of imaging channels, where each of the imaging channels includes a discrete optical imaging pathway disposed within the support structure. Additionally, the imaging channels may be aimed at different angles relative to each other. Further, illumination sources may correspond respectively to the imaging channels, where each illumination source emits an illumination pattern along a discrete optical illumination pathway positioned non-coaxially relative to the discrete optical imaging pathway of each imaging channel. The optical imaging device also includes image capturing devices, where each image capturing device is respectively associated with one of the imaging channels to capture digital photograph images of respective portions of an iridocorneal angle with topographical information revealed by the illumination sources.
