This invention proposes a video-based
ocular surface monitoring method and
system, belonging to the field of
ocular surface monitoring technology. The method includes: acquiring
ocular surface video sequences; using a geometrically constrained cascaded localization strategy to identify
anatomical structures in each frame of the image, obtaining the location information of key
anatomical structures, and calculating the palpebral
fissure height; calculating the average tear
meniscus height and the standard
coefficient of variation of the tear
meniscus height based on the palpebral margin position; calculating the corneal exposed area; detecting blinking events based on the temporal changes in palpebral
fissure height from consecutive frames of the
video sequence, and calculating the blinking frequency and the proportion of incomplete blinks; constructing a tear fluid
dynamic balance model, substituting the average tear
meniscus height, the standard
coefficient of variation of the tear meniscus height, the corneal exposed area, the blinking frequency, and the proportion of incomplete blinks into the tear fluid
dynamic balance model to calculate the tear fluid
dynamic balance index, and performing a graded assessment of ocular surface health status based on this index. This invention enables a quantitative and comprehensive assessment of ocular surface health status.
