  • Publication number: 20150272433
    Abstract: An optical measuring device includes a light source module, a light coupling module, a reference mirror module and a processing unit. The light source module can provide a light. The light of the light source module is transmitted to the reference mirror module and an under-test object through the light coupling module. The light is reflected by the reference mirror module and the under-test object to form a first light and a second light, respectively. The first and second lights are then transmitted to the processing unit through the light coupling module. The processing unit generates an adjusting signal according to the first and second lights. The processing unit transmits the adjusting signal to the reference mirror module. The reference mirror module adjusts the reference mirror module according to the adjusting signal.

  • Patent number: 8781190
    Abstract: An image-recognition assisting method includes the steps of using an examination instrument to generate an image having a split-image area formed thereon; setting a region-of-interest (ROI) around the split-image area of the generated image; performing a pixel luminance addition processing on the ROI, so that all pixels in the ROI have increased luminance contrast; and performing a contrast correction on the ROI having increased luminance contrast, so that the luminance contrast between the split-image area and the area surrounding the split-image area in the ROI is further increased. The image-recognition assisting method optimizes the image generated by the conventional ophthalmic examination instrument, such as a fundus camera, to increase the sharpness and the luminance contrast of the image output by the fundus camera, so that an examiner can easily recognize two offset rectangular image parts in the split-image area and align them with each other to focus the examination instrument.

    Abstract: An optical intraocular pressure measuring apparatus includes a light source, an optical module, a pressure providing module, a deformation measuring module, and a processing module. The light source provides an incident light. The optical module divides the incident light into a first incident light and a second incident light and emits them to a reference object and an object to be detected through a first light path and a second light path, and receives a first reflected light signal from reference object and a second reflected light signal from the object to be detected respectively. The pressure providing module coupled with second light path provides a pressure to deform the object to be detected. The deformation measuring module measures the deformation of the object to be detected. The processing module processes the first reflected light signal and second reflected light signal to generate an intraocular pressure measurement result.
