Abstract
Apparatus, systems and techniques for capturing, processing and generating digital ophthalmic images using conventional ophthalmic lenses. Certain embodiments processor implemented gesture-based control methods that provide for an eye care specialist to use a gesture-based imaging trigger to capture images of selected ocular structures through a traditional ophthalmic lens.
Claims12
A method of capturing an ophthalmic image comprising:
- providing an ophthalmic lens having an ophthalmic lens frame;
- providing an imaging device having an image sensor;
- providing a processor in communication with the imaging device;
- manually aligning the ophthalmic lens and imaging device with a patient eye causing an image of a selected structure of the patient eye and an image of the ophthalmic lens frame to be focused on the image sensor;
- obtaining a video stream of image data with the imaging device;
- detecting within the image data, with the processor, data corresponding to the ophthalmic lens frame;
- detecting, with the processor, image data indicating that a portion of an eye care specialist's finger has obstructed a portion of the ophthalmic lens frame;
- and
- upon detecting with the processor data indicating that a portion of an eye care specialist's finger has obstructed a portion of the ophthalmic lens frame, triggering, with the processor, the capture of a still frame image with the imaging device.
6 more elements
An ophthalmic imaging system comprising:
- an imaging device comprising a camera lens, an illumination source, an imaging sensor and imaging electronics;
- a processor in communication with the imaging device an ophthalmic lens comprising an ophthalmic lens frame;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer readable media in communication with the processor having software stored thereon comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform one or more functions, the set of instructions comprising:
- instructions to obtain a video stream of image data with the imaging device;
- instructions to detect, within the image data, data corresponding to the ophthalmic lens frame;
- instructions to detect, image data indicating that a portion of an eye care specialist's finger has obstructed a portion of the ophthalmic lens frame;
- and
- upon detecting with the processor data indicating that a portion of an eye care specialist's finger has obstructed a portion of the ophthalmic lens frame, instructions to trigger the capture of a still frame image with the imaging device.
