It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the described embodiments of the invention can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0039] To facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, it is now explained through... Figures 1 to 8 This invention provides a detailed description of the corneal contact lens parameter measurement system based on SD-OCT (Spectral domain-optical coherence tomography). Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a corneal contact lens parameter measurement system based on SD-OCT provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The measurement system 100 includes a light source module 101, a reference arm module 102, a sample arm module 103, a spectral detection module 104, and a control and processing module 105. The first end of the light source module 101 is connected to the port of the reference arm module 102, the second end of the light source module 101 is connected to the first end of the sample arm module 103, the third end of the light source module 101 is connected to the first end of the spectral detection module 104, the second end of the spectral detection module 104 is connected to the first end of the control and processing module 105, and the second end of the control and processing module 105 is connected to the second end of the sample arm module 103.
[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, the light source module 101 can emit light and transmit the split emitted light to the reference arm module 102 and the sample arm module 103 respectively, and receive the reflected light returned from the reference arm module 102 and the sample arm module 103 respectively. This reflected light is used to generate interference light. The reference arm module 102 can generate reference reflected light, and the sample arm module 103 can scan the corneal contact lens and obtain the sample reflected light. The spectral detection module 104 can detect the light intensity signal of the interference light and convert the light intensity signal into a digital electrical signal. The control processing module 105 can acquire the digital electrical signal and control the sample arm module 103 and the spectral detection module 104 to work synchronously; process the digital electrical signal to obtain an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image; and, based on the OCT image, identify and calculate the geometric parameters of the corneal contact lens.
[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 2This is a simplified schematic diagram of a corneal contact lens parameter measurement system based on SD-OCT provided by an embodiment of the present invention. For example, firstly, the low-coherence light emitted from the light source module 101 passes through a beam splitter, is reflected by the plane mirror in the reference arm module 102 and the sample in the sample arm module 103, and then coherently superimposed. The interference light is received by the spectral detection module 104 and forms an interference intensity spectrum I(k). Then, the interference intensity spectrum I(k) is acquired and processed by a computer to obtain the light intensity information I(z) of the sample at different depths, i.e., A-Scan. Then, combined with the X-axis scanning galvanometer, multiple A-Scans of the sample along the scanning line are obtained, at which point a tomographic image of the sample, i.e., a B-Scan image, can be obtained. Then, combined with the Y-axis scanning galvanometer, multiple B-Scans are scanned line by line, at which point a three-dimensional image of the sample can be obtained.
[0042] For example, now combined Figure 3 As shown, the components of the measurement system 100 in this embodiment of the invention will be described in detail.
[0043] For example, the light source module 101 in the measurement system 100 includes, but is not limited to, a coherent light source 1011, an optical fiber circulator 1012, and an optical fiber coupler 1013. In this embodiment of the invention, by setting the optical fiber circulator 1012, the emitted light from the light source can be transmitted unidirectionally (e.g., from port 1 to port 2), thus preventing the light source from burning out. Specifically, the output end of the coherent light source 1011 is connected to the first end of the optical fiber circulator 1012, the second end of the optical fiber circulator 1012 is connected to the first end of the optical fiber coupler 1013, the third end of the optical fiber circulator 1012 is connected to the first end of the spectral detection module 104, the second end of the optical fiber coupler 1013 is connected to the port of the reference arm module 102, and the third end of the optical fiber coupler 1013 is connected to the first end of the sample arm module 103. For example, the coherent light source 1011 has a center wavelength of 840 nm and a bandwidth of 60 nm; the fiber coupler 1013 has a splitting ratio of 10:90, that is, 10% of the light energy is transmitted to the reference arm module 102, while 90% of the light energy is transmitted to the sample arm module 103.
[0044] Optionally, the light source module 101 in the measurement system 100 further includes an indicator light source 1014 and a wavelength division multiplexer 1015. In this embodiment of the invention, the indicator light source 1014 can indicate the position of the scanning spot for the sample arm module 103, facilitating positioning and precise measurement. The output terminals of both the indicator light source 1014 and the coherent light source 1011 are connected to the input terminal of the wavelength division multiplexer 1015, while the output terminal of the wavelength division multiplexer 1015 is connected to the first end of the fiber optic circulator 1012. For example, the center wavelength of the indicator light source 1014 is 633 nm.
[0045] Optionally, a polarization controller 1016 may be provided between the second end of the fiber coupler 1013 and the port of the reference arm module 102, and between the third end of the fiber coupler 1013 and the first end of the sample arm module 103, thereby enabling adjustment and optimization of the polarization state of the transmitted light.
[0046] For example, the reference arm module 102 in the measurement system 100 includes, but is not limited to, an optical fiber collimator 1021, a dispersion compensation mirror 1022, an adjustable aperture 1023, a focusing lens 1024, and a coated reflector 1025 arranged sequentially along the transmission optical path. For example, the light with 10% energy output from the fiber coupler 1013 first passes through the polarization controller 1016 and then enters the fiber collimator 1021. The fiber collimator 1021 can form a parallel spatial beam of light transmitted in the fiber. The parallel spatial beam then enters the dispersion compensation mirror 1022. The advantage of this arrangement is that it can perform dispersion compensation on the imaging objective lens in the sample arm module 103. Next, the light emitted from the dispersion compensation mirror 1022 passes through the adjustable aperture 1023. At this time, the reference light intensity can be adjusted and stray light can be filtered to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the final interference signal. Then, the light passing through the adjustable aperture 1023 is focused onto the coated mirror 1025 by the focusing lens 1024 and finally returns to the fiber coupler 1013 along the same path. The focusing lens 1024 and the coated mirror 1025 can be fixed on a single-axis moving platform and the optical path of the sample arm module 103 can be matched by horizontal lateral movement.
[0047] For example, the sample arm module 103 in the measurement system 100 includes, but is not limited to, an adjustable attenuator 1031, an optical fiber collimator 1032, an X-Y dual-axis scanning galvanometer 1033, and an imaging objective lens 1034 arranged sequentially along the transmission optical path. For example, the light output from the fiber coupler 1013 with 90% energy first passes through the polarization controller 1016 and then enters the adjustable attenuator 1031. This adjustable attenuator 1031 can adjust the intensity of the sample reflected signal light to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio of the final interference signal. Next, the light emitted from the adjustable attenuator 1031 passes through the fiber collimator 1032 to form a parallel spatial beam before entering the X-Y dual-axis scanning galvanometer 1033, used for point-by-point scanning of the sample in the X and Y directions. Then, the light emitted from the X-Y dual-axis scanning galvanometer 1033 is focused onto the sample surface by the imaging objective 1034 to reduce the scanning spot size, improve the system's lateral resolution, and increase the intensity of the sample reflected light. Finally, the sample reflected light returns to the fiber coupler 1013 along the same path. The fiber collimator 1032, the X-Y dual-axis scanning galvanometer 1033, and the imaging objective 1034 can be fixed as a whole on an axially adjustable moving platform, thereby adjusting the objective lens focal length for clearer imaging. In addition, the sample stage 1035 of the sample arm module 103 can be a liquid pool with a corneal contact lens support structure. The advantage of this configuration is that it can ensure that the corneal contact lens will not dehydrate or deform during the measurement process, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.
[0048] For example, the spectral detection module 104 in the measurement system 100 can be a high-speed, high-resolution OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) spectrometer. This spectrometer has a maximum linear rate of 130 kHz, and when used with a high-speed galvanometer, it can achieve real-time display of two-dimensional B-scan images. If the galvanometer is set to scan 500 points per cycle, meaning each B-scan image contains 500 A-scans, the system can display up to 50 frames per second in real time, suitable for rapid testing of production line products. For instance, the reflected light from the reference arm module 102 and the sample arm module 103 first undergoes polarization optimization by the polarization controller 1016, and then enters the fiber coupler 1013 where interference occurs. Next, the interference light is unidirectionally transmitted from port 2 to port 3 of the fiber optic circulator 1012, and after polarization optimization by the polarization controller 1016, it enters the spectrometer. The spectrometer then records the interference intensity spectrum of the interference light and converts the interference light intensity at different wavelengths into digital electrical signals using a CCD array.
[0049] Alternatively, the control processing module 105 in the measurement system 100 may include a data acquisition unit 1051, a data processing unit 1052, and an automatic calculation unit 1053. The data acquisition unit 1051 can acquire digital electrical signals and control the sample arm module 103 and the spectral detection module 104 to work synchronously, ensuring that each scanning position of the galvanometer is completely recorded by the spectrometer, and then moving to the next scanning position after acquisition is completed. For example, the data acquisition unit 1051 transmits the digital electrical signals generated by the spectrometer to the computer workstation for recording via a USB 3.0 data cable, and connects the control terminals of the galvanometer and the spectrometer to the PCI board port of the computer workstation for synchronous control via a synchronous control line, using the device's external trigger mode to achieve synchronous control.
[0050] The data processing unit 1052 can process digital electrical signals to obtain optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. For example, the data processing unit 1052 can perform Fourier transform on the original spectral intensity signal I(k) through LabVIEW software programming to obtain light intensity signals I(z) at different depths of the sample, retain positive information and remove mirror data, and then combine it with a galvanometer to scan different positions point by point to finally form a two-dimensional or three-dimensional original OCT image.
[0051] Furthermore, the automatic calculation unit 1053 can identify and calculate the geometric parameters of the corneal contact lens based on optical coherence tomography images. For example, according to the settings of the parameters to be measured, the automatic calculation unit 1053 uses a pixel grayscale value point-by-point comparison method to identify feature points (such as the lowest point, left and right extreme position points, etc.) in the extracted corneal contact lens contour, and determines the measurement starting position of the relevant geometric parameters. Then, according to the geometric parameters to be measured by the user, it completes the automatic calculation of the key geometric parameters of the corneal contact lens, thereby realizing the efficient measurement of global multiple parameters such as thickness at any point, outer diameter, and inner and outer surface curvature radius, which is convenient and fast.
[0052] Optionally, the control processing module 105 in the measurement system 100 can also preprocess the optical coherence tomography (OCT) image before identifying and calculating the geometric parameters of the corneal contact lens based on the OCT image. This preprocessing includes, but is not limited to, at least one of dispersion compensation, signal-to-noise ratio enhancement, image correction, and contour extraction. For example, the data processing unit 1052 can calculate the dispersion compensation coefficient for each wavelength based on the light source band to compensate for the dispersion caused by sample imaging. It can also use software programming to compensate for the dispersion at each wavelength in real time, making the displayed image clearer and sharper. Simultaneously, it can use an adaptive threshold algorithm to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image and increase the contrast of the displayed image.
[0053] The graphics processing unit 1054 included in the control processing module 105 can perform image correction and contour extraction on the optimized high-resolution image. The reason for this setting is that the galvanometer scans back and forth in an equal angle manner. Except for the center position of the image, the equipathic points at other positions are spread out in a fan shape. If the uncorrected image is used directly to calculate the geometric dimensions, it will introduce a large error. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a mathematical model based on the system parameters in advance, and perform corresponding image correction on the system after analysis. The position difference of different scanning points is compensated to restore the image to the actual shape of the corneal contact lens. At the same time, the contour of the corrected corneal contact lens cross-section is extracted by algorithms such as Gaussian filtering, adaptive thresholding and contour extraction.
[0054] Practical use Figure 3 When measuring the geometric parameters of a corneal contact lens using the measurement system 100 shown, this embodiment of the invention first activates the measurement system 100 and calibrates it using a standard lens. Next, the corneal contact lens to be tested is placed in the liquid pool with a support structure in the sample arm module 103. A saline solution is injected to ensure the lens is fully immersed in the solution, and the edge of the lens is adjusted to be approximately flush with the liquid surface. Simultaneously, the red indicator light spot of the indicator light source 1014 in the light source module 101 is observed to be approximately located near the center of the corneal contact lens.
[0055] Next, a rapid full-range (16mm*16mm) scan is performed on the contact lens under test. Specifically, the X-Y dual-axis scanning galvanometer 1033 in the sample arm module 103 performs a line-by-line scan in the Y direction (total length 16mm, each line 16mm long). The control processing module 105 obtains a complete three-dimensional image of the contact lens under test through imaging, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Subsequently, the control processing module 105 compares the outer diameters of adjacent B-scan cross-sectional images and records the B-scan cross-sectional image with the largest outer diameter to determine the B-scan image at the center position of the contact lens under test, as shown. Figure 5 As shown.
[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the measurement accuracy and parameters are selected in the software interface, and a B-scan image of the center position of the contact lens to be tested is formed. Figure 5As shown, the control processing module 105 identifies the left and right extreme edge points of the contact lens under test to calculate the outer diameter of the contact lens; identifies the center point of the image to calculate the center thickness of the contact lens; performs data fitting on the inner and outer curves of the image to calculate the inner and outer surface curvature radii of the contact lens; and calculates the inner sag by connecting the inner vertex to the outer diameter and the outer sag by connecting the outer vertex to the outer diameter. Finally, the selected basic parameters are automatically calculated and displayed on the software interface. It should also be noted that measurements of other positions or geometric parameters can be performed manually, which has a wide range of applications. For example, by taking points at equal intervals on the outer surface, the outer surface curvature radius of any corresponding region can be calculated, and a fitting curve of the outer surface curvature radius distribution of the contact lens under test can be provided. Figure 7 As shown; by connecting the vector directions of any points on the inner and outer surfaces, the thickness at any location is calculated, and the normal thickness distribution curve of the contact lens under test is given, as shown. Figure 8 As shown. Meanwhile, the measurement system 100 has been tested and calibrated according to the testing methods specified in JJF 1148-2006 "Calibration Specification for Corneal Contact Lens Testing Instruments". All indicators meet the error requirements and have high reliability, namely: ① Diameter measurement range meets (8-16) mm, with a diameter indication error of ±50 μm; ② Center thickness measurement range meets (0-1.0) mm, with a center thickness indication error of ±5 μm; ③ Curvature radius measurement range meets (6.5-9.5) mm, with a curvature radius indication error of ±20 μm and a curvature radius measurement repeatability of 10 μm.
