TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of eye movement detection, and particularly relates to a pupil light reflection auxiliary diagnosis detection instrument based on a smart phone and a detection method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD, simply autism) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that occur in early childhood, with social communication disorders, narrow interests, and repetitive stereotyped behaviors as the main characteristics. Autism usually occurs in infancy, and there is currently no effective treatment drug. Early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention can improve the symptoms and prognosis of children to varying degrees. Eye tracking technology has matured after a long development process. The current popular eye tracking technology is mainly based on "non-invasive" technology of eye image analysis. Its basic principle is: a light beam and a camera are aimed at the eye of the subject, and the direction of the subject's gaze is inferred through light and back-end analysis. The camera records the interaction process. The current eye tracker mostly uses pupil-corneal reflection spot recognition technology. The feature it uses that remains unchanged during eye movement is the Purkinje spot on the outer surface of the cornea, which is a bright spot on the cornea produced by the reflection of light entering the pupil on the outer surface of the cornea. Since the position of the eye tracker (including the camera) is fixed, the position of the light source is also fixed, and the center of the eye is fixed (assuming the eye is spherical and the head is not moving), the absolute position of the Purkinje spot does not change with the rotation of the eye. But its position relative to the pupil and the eye is constantly changing - for example, when you stare at the camera, the Purkinje spot is between your pupils; when your eye is raised, the Purkinje spot is below your pupil. In this way, as long as the positions of the pupil and the Purkinje spot on the eye image are located in real time, the corneal reflection vector can be calculated, and the user's line of sight direction can be estimated using a geometric model. The eye tracking device in the related technology has the following shortcomings: the light source is generally independent of the eye tracker and is set externally, which has the disadvantages of large volume, inconvenience to carry, complex structure, and inability to detect at any time and any place; the wavelength of the illuminating light is single, and different subjects have different pupil response sensitivities to different wavelengths, which can easily cause test fatigue of the subjects; the light produced by the light source in the device can easily cause glare, which can harm the eyes of children; due to the long distance between the light source and the eye during detection, it is easy to be disturbed by external light, and the requirements for the use environment are also relatively high. There is no autism PLR early auxiliary diagnosis product based on a smart phone on the market. Smart phones have increasingly powerful computing capabilities, and smart phones with dual-core processors and independent display units plus high-definition cameras have become popular. Smart phones have become smart mobile Internet terminals with powerful processing capabilities, and their expansion functions have far exceeded people's imagination. Pupil recognition requires high processing hardware and imaging equipment. Previously, it had to rely on computers and high-precision camera systems. With the rapid development of smart phones, smart phones also have the processing capability to process pupil images in real time, and the development of 5G networks has created superior conditions for the timely communication between smart phones and remote information centers.
