52 results about "Hyperacuity" patented technology

The sharpness of our senses is defined by the finest detail we can discriminate. Visual acuity is measured by the smallest letters that can be distinguished on a chart and is governed by the anatomical spacing of the mosaic of sensory elements on the retina. Yet spatial distinctions can be made on a finer scale still: misalignment of borders can be detected with a precision up to 10 times better than visual acuity, as already shown by Ewald Hering in 1899. This hyperacuity, transcending by far the size limits set by the retinal 'pixels', depends on sophisticated information processing in the brain.

Image calibration method and device

An image calibration method and a device are provided. The method includes: obtaining a pupil position offset of a user and a visual acuity of the user, where the pupil position offset of the user is an offset of a pupil of the user relative to an optical axis; and adjusting a to-be-displayed image based on the pupil position offset of the user and the visual acuity of the user. In this way, when the user wears a head-mounted display device improperly, a point seen by the user when the user looks straight ahead is a center point of an image displayed on a display.
