  • Patent number: 9759934
    Abstract: A method for measuring at least one geo-morphometric parameter of an individual wearing glasses that includes adjusting the inclination of the image acquisition system so that it lies in an acceptable angular range; adjusting the height of the image acquisition system so that the individual can see the target along a substantially horizontal line of sight; observation of the target, by the individual; acquiring at least one image of the eyes of the individual and of the frame. The method includes processing the at least one image using the processing unit in order to determine each geo-morphometric parameter of the individual from the position of their pupils and the inclination of their glasses and returning the result of the measurements.
