Patent number: 11158082Abstract: A method for automatically determining at least one parameter associated with an ophthalmic device selected by an individual, said device comprising a frame referred to as selected frame, said determination being carried out from an acquired image of the face of the individual wearing the selected frame or a frame of a second ophthalmic device. The method includes the steps of: detecting at least one characteristic point of at least one eye of the individual the acquired image and estimating the three-dimensional position of the one or more characteristic point(s) detected; detecting the frame worn and estimating the three-dimensional position of the frame worn by aligning a three-dimensional representation of the frame worn with the frame worn in the acquired image; and determining the one or more parameters from the relative position of the eyes with respect to the three-dimensional representation of the selected frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignees: FITTINGBOX, ESSILOR INTERNATIONALInventors: Sylvain Le Gallou, Jérome Guenard, Ariel Choukroun, Serge Coural

Patent number: 10201273Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining at least one ocular measurement (pupillary distance, mono pupillary distance and/or heights) of a user, using a consumer-type digital image sensor. The method uses at least one image of the user's head, acquired by the image sensor and containing an object of known size. The calibration parameters of the camera are unknown or known with little precision.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2014Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: FITTINGBOXInventors: Ariel Choukroun, Sylvain Le Gallou

Patent number: 10120207Abstract: A method for determining ocular and optical measurements for the production and fitting of corrective eyeglasses for a user with the aid of the a camera. The method utilizes a protocol for reconstructing the system of the user's eyes in three dimensions by modeling the system of the eye, thereby providing precise ocular and optical measurements. The method uses test objects that are connected or not connected to the user's face.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: FITTINGBOXInventors: Sylvain Le Gallou, Ariel Choukroun

Patent number: 10042188Abstract: A method for generating a real-time realistic-looking image of a pair of virtual glasses positioned on a real user face image issued from a single image, a bundle of pictures, a video clip or a real-time camera streams. A face analysis element estimates the 3D rotation matrix, the 3D translation vector, morphology parameters of the user's face. A glasses positioning element associated with a try-on mode for look or real-size simulation estimates the 3D rotation matrix, the 3D translation vector, global and local deformation parameters of the virtual glasses, and arms articulation, adapted to the morphology parameters computed by the face analysis element. A realistic rendering element mixes the real user face image with the virtual glasses positioned by the glasses positioning element.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: FITTINGBOXInventors: Ariel Choukroun, Jerome Guenard, Sylvain Le Gallou, Christophe Dehais

Patent number: 9747719Abstract: A method of generating a digital model of a lens of a pair of glasses from images of the pair of glasses with an uniform background. The images being taken with a camera of an acquisition device. A silhouette of the lens is generated by clipping the lens in the taken images. A processor is configured to project the silhouette on a 3D surface of the digital model, adjust a surface of degree 2 to the projected silhouette, cut the adjusted surface according to the projected silhouette, extrude the adjusted surface from the 3D surface to obtain the desired thickness of the lens, and apply a realistic texture on the digital model of the lens. The texture depends of the angle of view of the lens.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: FITTINGBOXInventors: Christophe Dehais, Khaled Mammou, Ariel Choukroun, Sylvain Le Gallou
