Abstract
The present disclosure provides a digital image optimization system including a camera that includes at least one sensor that detects light reflected off an eye and sends a signal corresponding to the detected light to a processor. The system further includes an image processing system including the processor and that executes instructions to produce a digital image of the eye. The image processing system also executes instructions to apply a digital image optimization algorithm including a trained machine-learning model to the digital image of the eye to generate an optimized digital image of the eye. The system further includes a digital display that displays the optimized digital image of the eye.

A digital image optimization system comprising:
- a camera comprising at least one sensor operable to detect light reflected off an eye and send a signal corresponding to the detected light to a processor;
- an image processing system comprising the processor and operable to:
- execute instructions to produce a digital image of the eye;
- and
- execute instructions to apply a digital image optimization algorithm comprising a trained machine-learning model to the digital image of the eye to generate an optimized digital image of the eye;
- and
- a digital display operable to display the optimized digital image of the eye.
A digital image optimization system comprising:
- a camera comprising at least one sensor operable to:
- detect light reflected off a fellow eye and send a signal corresponding to the detected light to a processor;
- and
- detect light reflected off an operative eye and send a signal corresponding to the detected light to the processor;
- and
- an image processing system comprising the processor and operable to:
- execute instructions to produce a template digital image of the fellow eye;
- execute instructions to produce a digital mirror image of the template digital image;
- execute instructions to produce a working digital image of the operative eye;
- and
- execute instructions to align the digital mirror image to the working digital image to generate a retina arcade alignment template;
- and
- a digital display operable to display the working digital image and the retina arcade alignment template.
A digital image optimization system comprising:
- an endoscope comprising an optical fiber;
- a camera comprising at least one sensor operable to detect light reflected off an interior of an eye and propagated through the optical fiber and send a signal corresponding to the detected light to a processor;
- an image processing system comprising the processor and operable to:
- execute instructions to produce an endoscope digital image of the eye;
- and
- execute instructions to apply an endoscope digital image optimization algorithm comprising a trained machine-learning model to the endoscope digital image of the eye to generate an optimized endoscope digital image of the eye;
- and
- a digital display operable to display the optimized endoscope digital image of the eye.
An optimization network comprising:
- a digital image optimization system comprising:
- a camera comprising at least one sensor operable to detect light reflected off an eye and send a signal corresponding to the detected light to a first processor;
- a first image processing system comprising the first processor and operable to execute instructions to produce a digital image of the eye;
- and
- a digital display;
- and
- a communication network communicatively coupled to the digital image optimization system and a digital image management system and operable to send the digital image of the eye to the digital image management system;
- and
- the digital image management system comprising:
- a second image processing system comprising a second processor and a trained machine learning model;
- wherein the second image processing system is operable to execute instructions to process the digital image of the eye using the trained machine learning model to calculate an optimized digital image of the eye and send the optimized digital image of the eye to the digital display;
- wherein the digital display is operable to display the optimized digital image of the eye.
