Patent number: 8184149Abstract: A method for producing an image with an increased resolution from a plurality of aliased ophthalmic images having an original resolution is described. The method comprises the steps of—providing an imaging system capable of acquiring said aliased ophthalmic images,—acquiring said aliased ophthalmic images by the imaging system, thereby generating non-integer pixel displacements between said images by using voluntary or involuntary eye movements,—determining the displacements between said images, and—producing an image with an increased resolution in an overlapping area of said aliased ophthalmic images compared to the original resolution of said images, based on said images and said displacements, using a super-resolution algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: I-Optics B.V.Inventors: Michiel Herman Mensink, Koenraad Arndt Vermeer

Publication number: 20110105943Abstract: A method of determining a corneal thickness and an apparatus for determining said is provided. The method comprises the following the steps:—illuminating a cornea by a plurality of stimulator point light sources, capturing an image of the cornea comprising reflected images of the stimulator point light sources, obtaining a model representing an anterior surface of the cornea,—constructing a second model representing a posterior surface of the cornea from the image by ray-tracing the reflected images of the stimulator point light sources towards the model representing the anterior surface of the cornea, determining the corneal thickness from the model representing the anterior surface and the second model representing the posterior surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicants: VERENIGING VU-WINDESHEIM, I-OPTICS B.V.Inventors: Victor Arni De Paz Sicam, Gerrit Ludolph Van Der Heijde, Michiel Herman Mensink
