  • Patent number: 7798643
    Abstract: The present system for analyzing eye responses accurately and automatically tracks the size, location, and movement of a subject's pupil(s) in response to a predetermined test protocol. These eye responses include both ocularmotor and pupillary responses to illumination and target tracking for either eye or both eyes simultaneously. The series of digital image frames of a subject's eyes, taken during the execution of a predetermined stimulus protocol, are automatically processed to determine pupil location, size, and responsiveness to changes in illumination.

  • Patent number: 7614745
    Abstract: The impairment determination system automatically determines impairment of a subject based on pupil movement, as well as pupil responses to illumination and target tracking for either eye or both eyes simultaneously. The impairment determination system automatically processes a series of digital image frames, taken during the execution of a predetermined test protocol, to determine pupil location, size, and responsiveness to changes in illumination, which data are used by the impairment determination system to determine impairment of the subject. The present impairment determination system uses a method for quickly and accurately localizing the subject's pupils, as well as their boundaries, area, and center coordinates, which data is used as part of the impairment determination process.

  • Patent number: 7357507
    Abstract: The image-based system is used to observe and document eye responses which can be used to implement the procedures defined in the Standardized Field Sobriety Test as well as the Drug Recognition Expert Program. These eye responses include pupil movement as well as pupil size and responses, for either one or both eyes simultaneously. The system includes a headset against which the subject places their face. The faceplate has two eye openings through which illumination devices transmit beams of infrared light to illuminate the subject's eyes. Two imaging devices are mounted on the headset opposite the eye openings to generate images of the subject's illuminated eyes. The generated images are transmitted to an image recording device for storage and an image display device for display to a test administrator.
