  • Patent number: 11202589
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing blood flow include: an ocular lens; a light source; a digital video camera; a biosensor; a trigger; and a computer. The ocular lens is for viewing a fundus of an eye. The light source is for illuminating the fundus. The digital video camera is for imaging the fundus. The biosensor is for sensing a pulse waveform. The computer is configured for: recording input frames and pulse waveform data in response to an input from the trigger; defining a low-pass frequency and a high-pass frequency from the pulse waveform data; stabilizing the input frames; enhancing contrast of the input frames; separating the input frames into sub-channels; conducting eulerian video magnification for color amplification using the inputs of image sampling rate, the low-pass frequency, the high-pass frequency, and an amplification factor; reconstructing the sub-channels into output frames; and combining the output frames with the input frames.
