  • Patent number: 11954773
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a process and method running on a computer for creating an augmented image. According to an embodiment, a graphical user interface gathers data that is programmatically analyzed to obtain photographic properties from a first image. Photographic properties are provided to a user for obtaining a second image containing a fiducial mark. The second image is programmatically analyzed to obtain photographic properties. The first image and the second image are programmatically analyzed and processed to produce an augmented image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5867250
    Abstract: Apparatus for determining the topography of a surface of an ophthalmic object comprising a projection branch for projecting along a first optical axis a projected structured light pattern onto the surface of the ophthalmic object. The projected structured light pattern has light and dark regions that form an array comprised of horizontal features and non-horizontal edges, an algorithm in the computer establishes at least one projected virtual point for the projected structured light pattern by fitting a first function to a non-horizontal edge and fitting a second function to a horizontal feature to establish an intersection and the coordinates of the projected virtual point. An imaging branch provides a pattern image of the projected structured light pattern along a second optical axis angled with respect to the first optical axis of the projected structured light pattern.

  • Patent number: 4761071
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the topography of the cornea and sclera that permit the detailed determination of the topography of the entire visible corneal and scleral surfaces; the topographic data so obtained is readily and conveniently accessible to the opthalmic practitioner or surgeon. A fluorescent substance instilled in the tear layer of the eye, and hence the surface of an eye, is made to fluoresce in a small, selected area of the eye surface by an incident light beam defining the selected area of the eye surface. The location of the selected area can be known from the position and direction of the incident light beam. The selected area's location is measured from at least one additional orientation different from that of the incident light beam by focusing an image of the fluorescence emissions from the selected area onto the surface of a positive sensitive detector.
