Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical imaging technology, in particular to an OCT fundus imaging device and method related to vision self-correction, human eye induction and human eye automatic calibration. BACKGROUND

[0002] Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can perform high-resolution, non-invasive tomography on biological tissues and materials. Ophthalmic coherence tomography has become the gold standard technology for managing various eye diseases. The desktop OCT system is often used for ophthalmic diagnosis due to its non-contact and high-resolution three-dimensional imaging advantages. However, the desktop design is bulky and requires a professional operator to accurately align the device with the human eye, which limits the application of the desktop OCT system in ophthalmic specialist clinics and ophthalmic imaging rooms. In addition, the desktop OCT also has strict eye examination requirements such as sitting posture, fixing the forehead and chin, and maintaining gaze, so it significantly hinders the routine assessment and diagnosis of eye diseases for patients who cannot cooperate intellectually or physically. The robotic automation of ophthalmic OCT provides a promising solution for obtaining high-quality images and reducing patient cooperation and operational skill requirements. The OCT imaging robot actively aligns and accurately tracks the eye, so that the patient is no longer restricted by the mechanical fixed device during the imaging process. In addition, the OCT imaging robot can replace human operators to avoid motion artifacts caused by operator fatigue or physiological tremor, ensuring accurate alignment during the imaging process. The OCT imaging robot has the potential to completely change the way people care for their eyes. However, the OCT imaging robot must require a shorter working distance when pursuing a wider range of fundus imaging, and it is a challenging problem for the OCT imaging robot to simultaneously ensure accurate alignment of the human eye while imaging the human eye at a short working distance. In addition, people with poor vision have different degrees of myopia or hypermetropia, and it is necessary to automatically match the OCT fundus scan for people with different vision. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of cooperation between short-distance OCT imaging and accurate alignment of the human eye. The present application provides a three-waveband light automatic calibration fundus imaging device, which is as follows:

[0004] The device for three-waveband light automatic calibration fundus imaging comprises a central light path channel, the central light path channel comprises, in sequence, a fundus mirror, a short-wave-pass dichroic mirror, an intermediate light path correction module one, a long-wave-pass dichroic mirror, an intermediate light path correction module two and an intermediate infrared camera, wherein two side infrared cameras are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror, and the two side infrared cameras are placed at a certain angle with the central light path channel and face the front of the fundus mirror; an annular lamp strip is arranged at the front end of the fundus mirror; the plane of the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror and the long-wave-pass dichroic mirror is at an angle of 45° with the light path of other components in the central light path channel. The side infrared cameras are used to capture the images of the face and the eyes, and provide part of the relative position information for aligning the imaging device to the pupil of the eyes at the ideal working distance; the placement positions of the two side cameras need to meet that the field of view obtained by the two side cameras at the working distance can cover the face. The central light path channel is used to transmit the complete image of the eyes and the pupil when aligning the eyes, and is also used to transmit the eye-induced light and the OCT imaging light beam. The specific functions of the components in the central light path channel are as follows: the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror is used to separate the OCT imaging light beam and the eye reflection light, and the long-wave-pass dichroic mirror is used to separate the induced light and the eye reflection light.

[0005] The device further comprises an induced display located below the long-wave-pass dichroic mirror, an OCT sample arm electrically controlled lifting module and an OCT light path channel located directly below the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror; specifically, the OCT light path channel comprises, in sequence from bottom to top, a collimating mirror, a two-dimensional galvanometer system and an OCT light path correction module, and the OCT sample arm electrically controlled lifting module is used to drive the OCT light path channel to move up and down. The induced display is used to induce the line of sight of the eyes. The OCT light path channel is used to control the OCT imaging light beam to become a scanning state and transmit the OCT imaging light beam to the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror of the central light path channel, and finally transmit the OCT imaging light beam to the eyes.

[0006] Preferably, the annular lamp strip specifically comprises a plurality of annularly and uniformly distributed LED lamp beads, and the LED lamp beads emit infrared light with a waveband of 750nm-950nm.

[0007] Specifically, the cut-off waveband of the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror is 950nm, the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror reflects light with a waveband of 950nm or above and transmits light with a waveband of 950nm or below; the cut-off waveband of the long-wave-pass dichroic mirror is 700nm, the long-wave-pass dichroic mirror reflects light with a waveband of 700nm or below and transmits light with a waveband of 700nm or above.

[0008] Specifically, the receiving waveband of the intermediate infrared camera is 750-950nm; the emitting waveband of the induced display is 400nm-700nm; the emitting waveband of the OCT light source is 1010nm-1110nm; and the receiving waveband of the side infrared camera is 750nm-950nm.

[0009] Specifically, the intermediate optical path correction module one, the intermediate optical path correction module two and the OCT optical path correction module are each composed of two achromatic doublet lenses.

[0010] In another aspect, the application also discloses a method for three-waveband light self-calibration fundus imaging, which is based on the above-mentioned three-waveband light automatic calibration fundus imaging device; the method comprises:

[0011] The annular light belt provides 750nm-950nm infrared ambient light for imaging human faces and human eyes and is not easy to be disturbed, and forms an annular point diagram in the pupil of a human eye, which is used to assist the pupil calibration of the intermediate camera.

[0012] The two side infrared cameras are used to acquire human face images and first human eye images, and the three-waveband light automatic calibration fundus imaging device is controlled to reach a preliminary working position according to the human face images and the human eye images; specifically, a mechanical arm is controlled by the device to control the position of the whole device.

[0013] The intermediate infrared camera is used to acquire a second human eye image and an annular point diagram through a central optical path channel, and the three-waveband light automatic calibration fundus imaging device is controlled to reach a final working position according to the second human eye image and the annular point diagram; wherein the second human eye image is formed by infrared ambient light provided by the human eye reflection light belt, and the second human eye image is magnified by the fundus mirror of the central optical path; if the human eye reflection light directly enters the intermediate infrared camera, a high-quality image under an ideal field of view cannot be obtained, therefore, the human eye reflection light passes through the fundus mirror, then passes through a short-wave pass dichroic mirror without influence, then passes through the intermediate optical path correction module one for correcting the light beam, then passes through the intermediate optical path correction module two without influence, and finally is transmitted to the intermediate infrared camera, so that the human eye image under the ideal field of view and the annular light belt point diagram formed in the pupil are obtained.

[0014] The visible light waveband image emitted by the induction display is used to induce the line of sight of the human eye to a specified direction; the visible light emitted by the induction display is reflected into the central optical path channel through the long-wave pass dichroic mirror, then passes through the intermediate optical path correction module one, the short-wave pass dichroic mirror without influence and the fundus mirror in sequence, and finally reaches the human eye to form an image for guiding the human eye. The angle between the long-wave pass dichroic mirror and the central optical path channel and the LED display for inducing the line of sight of the human eye is 45 degrees, the long-wave pass dichroic mirror allows the infrared waveband absorbed by the intermediate infrared camera to pass through, and reflects the visible light emitted by the induction display for inducing the line of sight of the human eye.

[0015] The OCT sample arm electric control lifting module controls the overall up and down movement of the OCT light path to a position matched with the myopia and hypermetropia degree of the measured person according to the vision condition of the measured object, and the OCT light beam is used to scan and image the fundus of the human eye with the ideal working distance. Specifically, the OCT light source with a light-emitting wave band of 1010nm-1110nm emits parallel light beams after collimating mirrors, the parallel light beams are changed into parallel light beams scanning in a two-dimensional plane through a two-dimensional galvanometer system, and then are transmitted to a short-wave-pass dichroic mirror of the central light path after passing through an OCT light path correction module composed of two achromatic doublet lenses; the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror is at an angle of 45 degrees with the central light path and the bottom light path of the OCT, the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror allows the infrared light received by the intermediate infrared camera and the visible light emitted by the induction display for inducing the line of sight of the human eye to pass through, and reflects the OCT imaging light beam. After being reflected by the short-wave-pass dichroic mirror, the light beam is transmitted to the fundus mirror and finally irradiates the human eye pupil to scan the fundus and obtain the fundus scanning image of the human eye.

[0016] After the above scheme is adopted, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the present application designs the combination and separation of the OCT imaging light path and the human eye calibration light path, solves the cooperation problem of short-distance OCT imaging and accurate alignment of the human eye, and introduces another induction light path on the basis of the above two light paths to guide the human eye and assist in accurately imaging the region of interest on the fundus of the human eye, and at the same time, the OCT sample arm electric control lifting module is used to adjust the distance between the OCT light paths according to the myopia or hypermetropia degree of the measured object, so as to meet the automatic OCT fundus imaging of different vision groups.

[0031] First, the application scenarios applicable to the present application are introduced. The robot OCT in the present application is an important link for eye fundus scanning imaging of a patient for eye diagnosis and treatment. OCT can detect tiny retinal or optic nerve head lesions, thus providing a sensitive diagnostic means in the early stage of the disease, which is particularly important for early intervention and treatment of eye diseases. For an eye disease that has been diagnosed, OCT scanning can be used to monitor the progress of the disease and evaluate the treatment effect. For example, in the treatment of glaucoma, OCT can help doctors evaluate the changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, so as to adjust the treatment plan. In ophthalmic surgery, OCT can provide real-time eye structure imaging to help doctors plan and operate the surgery.

[0032] It is found through research that, to implement robot OCT imaging of a large field of view, the key lies in that the OCT robot imaging device needs to realize accurate three-dimensional space point positions and tracking of a pupil and a gaze direction in a working distance range, that is, to automatically implement eye OCT imaging calibration.
