Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for making measurements using a single image capture device.
Claims66
A method comprising:
- capturing, using an image capture device, a first image comprising an eye, wherein the first image of the eye comprises an iris of the eye;
- determining, by a computing device, a number of pixels in the first image that span a diameter of the iris of the eye;
- dividing the determined number of pixels that span the diameter of the iris of the eye by an estimated iris diameter to determine a ratio of pixels per unit of measure for the first image;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, based upon the determined ratio of pixels per unit of measure for the first image, a size or shape of any object in the captured first image or a first distance between any two objects or points in the captured first image.

An apparatus comprised of:
- an image capture device;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory and the image capture device, wherein the processor executes computer-readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the processor to;
- capture, using the image capture device, a first image comprising an eye, wherein the first image of the eye comprises an iris of the eye;
- determine a number of pixels in the first image that span a diameter of the iris of the eye;
- divide the determined number of pixels that span the diameter of the iris of the eye by an estimated iris diameter to determine a ratio of pixels per unit of measure for the first image;
- and
- determine, based upon the determined ratio of pixels per unit of measure for the first image, a size or shape of any object in the captured first image or a first distance between any two objects or points in the captured first image.
