Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of myopia prevention and control technology, specifically to a myopia prevention and control system based on the spatial frequency and contrast polarity regulation of the visual environment. Background Technology

[0002] Myopia, a common type of refractive error among children and adolescents, has seen a rapid increase in prevalence in recent years, becoming a significant public health issue. The development of myopia is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, but the epidemiological trends of recent decades cannot be explained solely by genetics; environmental and behavioral factors are considered the primary driving forces. Among these, visual environmental stimuli, as direct external factors acting on the retina and influencing eye development regulation, have received widespread attention; however, engineerable evaluation methods are still lacking for their key stimulation parameters.

[0003] Studies have found significant differences in visual statistical characteristics between natural outdoor scenes and artificial indoor scenes. Natural scenes typically exhibit stable spatial frequency spectrum characteristics, showing a typical 1 / fα distribution; while artificial indoor environments often show reduced high-frequency visual components and steeper spatial frequency slopes. Furthermore, natural scenes tend to have a higher proportion of negative contrast polarity information across multiple spatial scales, while this type of information is relatively lacking in artificial environments. This may lead to insufficient or biased stimulation of retinal neural coding, thereby affecting normal eye development and regulation and increasing the risk of myopia.

[0004] In indoor environments, existing technologies lack a systematic and quantifiable assessment scheme for visual environment characteristics, such as spatial frequency distribution and contrast polarity, making standardized deployment and continuous intervention difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a myopia control system that can comprehensively evaluate the spatial frequency characteristics and contrast polarity of the visual environment in indoor settings such as classrooms, and assist in myopia risk assessment. This would help construct an artificial visual environment that more closely resembles the statistical characteristics of natural scenes, thereby improving the quality of retinal nerve development stimulation, reducing abnormal visual signal transmission, and ultimately delaying or reducing the onset and progression of myopia. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a myopia prevention and control system based on the spatial frequency and contrast polarity regulation of the visual environment.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a myopia prevention and control system based on spatial frequency and contrast polarity modulation of the visual environment, comprising: Image input and acquisition module: used to acquire visual environment image data to be evaluated and import the images into the calculation module for processing; Color and brightness preprocessing module: converts the input visual environment image data into a standardized signal representation suitable for subsequent contrast polarity and spatial frequency spectrum analysis; The geometry and sampling normalization module performs geometric cropping and sampling standardization on the input visual environment image to eliminate scale differences caused by different cameras or data sources, making different visual scenes more comparable. Spatial frequency spectrum analysis module: Quantitatively evaluates the standardized signals after color and brightness preprocessing to obtain the spatial frequency energy distribution structure of the visual scene; Contrast Polarity Analysis Module: Extracts multi-scale local contrast from the standardized signals after color and brightness preprocessing, and statistically analyzes the ON / OFF polarity distribution characteristics; The quantifiable evaluation index system construction module integrates the spatial frequency energy distribution structure and ON / OFF polarity distribution characteristics of the obtained visual scene to form a quantifiable evaluation index system output.

[0007] The color and brightness preprocessing module performs sRGB inverse gamma correction on the input image to linearize the image, and constructs the CIE relative brightness channel Y based on this for brightness statistics and contrast polarity analysis, and constructs the LMS cone cell space for spatial frequency spectrum analysis.

[0008] The geometry and sampling normalization module performs a central square crop on the image; downsamples the image to a uniform pixel scale and enables anti-aliasing; estimates the horizontal and vertical field of view of the image based on the EXIF ​​information of the image, and takes the smaller value as the effective field of view; when the EXIF ​​information is missing or abnormal, a preset backsliding field of view is used, and the angular resolution is calculated based on the pixel size and field of view of the cropped image.

[0009] The spatial frequency spectrum analysis module performs a two-dimensional FFT in the LMS cone cell space to construct a composite amplitude spectrum and obtain a spectral profile by radial averaging; it performs linear regression fitting on the logarithmic-logarithmic relationship of the spectral curve and outputs the spatial frequency spectrum slope α.

[0010] The contrast polarity analysis module uses a multi-scale differential Gaussian (DoG) filter to perform DoG filter convolution on each preset spatial frequency scale in the luminance channel Y, calculates the response of the center and the surrounding area, calculates the Contrast according to the formula, completes ON / OFF classification based on the Contrast sign, statistically analyzes the proportion of OFF pixels and ON pixels at each scale, and outputs a contrast polarity statistical feature vector.

[0011] The visual environment image data in the image input and acquisition module includes real-shot image data of indoor learning environments and publicly available datasets of natural or artificial environment images.

[0012] The quantifiable evaluation index system construction module is based on a large sample scene database to build a natural scene friendliness score, which is divided into three levels: low, medium and high to reflect the degree to which the scene is "close to the natural visual environment". It also collects clinical data related to myopia in children and gradually optimizes the evaluation criteria and classification.

[0013] The output of the quantifiable evaluation index system construction module includes evaluation vectors, evaluation scores, and risk classification results.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A myopia prevention and control system based on spatial frequency and contrast polarity regulation of the visual environment employs standardized processing and feature extraction. Through color linearization, geometric clipping, and contrast calculation, it ensures comparability across different environments and devices, providing unified basic data for subsequent analysis. Relying on contrast polarity analysis and spatial frequency spectrum analysis modules, it quantitatively assesses the characteristics of the visual environment through multi-scale processing and spectrum analysis. By combining visual environment characteristics with myopia data, a comprehensive risk assessment system is constructed, providing accurate predictive basis for personalized myopia intervention. This invention addresses issues such as abnormal spatial frequency spectrum distribution and contrast polarity imbalance in indoor environments such as classrooms. Using a visual environment acquisition module as input, it constructs a quantifiable evaluation index system by combining spatial frequency spectrum analysis and contrast polarity statistical models. This enables the extraction, evaluation, and classification of key statistical features of the visual environment, providing replicable, comparable, and scalable parameterized basis for myopia prevention and control. Furthermore, this solution can also combine display / projection / lighting texture and other output methods to adjust auxiliary parameters of scene visual features, thereby improving the statistical characteristics of the visual environment and enhancing the prevention and control effect.
