Abstract
An eyeglass frame selecting system in which the eyeglass lens picture can be synthesized with the eyeglass frame image and the customer's facial image so that the effect for the eyeglass lens based on the lens prescription value of the customer can be known, is provided. The eyeglass frame selecting system comprises a keyboard 3 for inputting the prescription value data of an eyeglass lens and a lens mold contour data based on the refraction property of a customer's objective eye, and an operation control circuit 1b for synthesizing the eyeglass lens image based on the prescription value of the lens inputted by the keyboard 3 and a facial image 20 with the eyeglass frame image L through a picture synthesizing circuit 10 to display the synthesized image on a display device 8.
Claims9
An eyeglass frame selecting system comprising:
- an eyeglass frame inputting means for inputting a plurality of eyeglass frame images including the eyeglass frame of a rimless frame;
- an eyeglass frame recording means for recording a plurality of eyeglass frame images inputted by said eyeglass frame inputting means;
- a photographing means for photographing a customers' facial image;
- a display means for displaying said facial image photographed by said photographing means;
- a frame picture selecting means for selecting one of the plurality of eyeglass frame images recorded in said eyeglass frame recording means;
- and
- a picture synthesizing means for synthesizing the eyeglass frame image selected by said frame picture selecting means with the facial image displayed on said display means;
- wherein said eyeglass frame selecting system further comprises:
- a data inputting means for inputting lens prescription value data of the eyeglass lens based on a refraction property of said customer's objective eye;
- and
- an operation control means for obtaining a size of the eyeglass lens image according to the lens prescription value data inputted by said data inputting means to synthesize the eyeglass lens image of the obtained size with said eyeglass frame image through said picture synthesizing means to display a synthesized image on said display means, wherein said picture synthesizing means is set so that a lens lateral image of the eyeglass lens obtained from lens prescription value data and lens mold contour data are synthesized with a lateral facial image as said facial image together with said eyeglass frame and the eyeglass lens image to be displayed on said display means.
