56 results about "Refractive error" patented technology

Refractive error, also known as refraction error, is a problem with focusing light accurately onto the retina due to the shape of the eye. The most common types of refractive error are near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Near-sightedness results in far away objects being blurry, far-sightedness and presbyopia result in close objects being blurry, astigmatism causes objects to appear stretched out or blurry. Other symptoms may include double vision, headaches, and eye strain.

Method, device and medium for estimating diopter based on infrared eccentric photograph image

This invention relates to the field of refractive error detection technology, and discloses a method, device, and medium for estimating refractive power based on infrared off-center photography images. The method uses infrared pupil images of each LED group in an array of LED beads when they are lit as feature images of each channel, forming a pupil feature image. This pupil feature image is input into the refractive error prediction model, where it is convolved through a residual convolutional layer to obtain a primary feature image. This primary feature image is then input into a relative orientation feature module to obtain a relative orientation feature image. The relative orientation feature image is then passed sequentially through multiple cascaded residual blocks to obtain residual features. These residual features are then passed through a global average pooling layer and fed into parallel and independent first and second fully connected layers to obtain predicted spherical and cylindrical refractive power values.
