Computer-implemented method for determining centration parameters
Centration parameters for fitting spectacle lenses to a predetermined spectacle frame and to the head of a subject are determined with a computer-implemented method. At least two calibrated images, recorded from different recording directions, of the head of the subject wearing the spectacle frame are provided, wherein geometric parameters are established by geometric position determination. The geometric parameters describe the position of the eyes and the geometry of the spectacle frame, and the centration parameters are calculated from the geometric parameters. Further, a three-dimensional model for the spectacle lenses, which are to be received in the spectacle frame, is fitted to the geometry of the geometric parameters that describe the geometry of the spectacle frame.
COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR DETERMINING CENTRING PARAMETERS FOR MOBILE TERMINALS, MOBILE TERMINAL AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
Methods and devices for determining at least one centring parameter are disclosed. A mobile terminal is moved from a first position to a second position, and a respective image is captured of an eye area of a person. The acceleration is also measured during the movement. The centring parameter is then determined based on the captured image and the measured acceleration.
Automatic establishment of parameters necessary for constructing spectacles
The invention relates to a method for automatically establishing parameters in order to centre and/or personalise corrective lenses for spectacles, comprising the following steps: —taking images of the frame from different viewing angles, —defining an initial model of the frame in a reference system based on a set of predefined initial parameters, projecting a region of interests in the images, —comparing the projections and evaluating a similarity between said projections, —modifying at least one of the parameters of the model and reiterating the steps until a maximum level of similarity between the projections is obtained, —deducing the at least one of the parameters from the model associated with the projections which have the maximum level of similarity.
Contact lens and eyewear frame design using physical landmarks placed on the eye
A method comprises: disposing a physical landmark upon an eye of a user; capturing at least one image of the eye of the user with an image sensor while the eye is illuminated, wherein the image includes an image of the physical landmark and at least one other point on the surface of the eye outside of the cornea; processing the at least one image to obtain at least one metric of the eye of the user; and determining, based on the at least one metric, at least one parameter of a daily use contact lens to be worn on the eye of the user.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A CONTOUR OF A FRAME GROOVE
A method for determining a contour of a frame groove in a rim of a spectacle frame includes illuminating the rim, capturing a plurality of images of the illuminated rim from different predetermined perspectives, evaluating the captured images, and determining a spatial curve of the frame groove based on the evaluated images. The rim is illuminated along the entire circumference of the rim by directed illumination. Moreover, the evaluation of the captured images includes assigning each portion contained in the captured images to a respective surface element of the frame groove on the basis of at least one of the following properties: shadowing of the respective portion, brightness of the respective portion and phase angle of the illumination of the respective portion. Moreover, an apparatus, a computer program, a method for grinding a spectacle lens, and a computer-implemented method for determining a geometry of a spectacle lens are disclosed.
REAL TIME AUGMENTED REALITY SELECTION OF USER FITTED EYEGLASS FRAMES FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURE
Systems and methods for the real time augmented reality selection of user fitted eyeglass frames for additive manufacture are provided. 3D design files for additive manufacturing and corresponding 3D visual renderings for an augmented reality display of fitted eyeglass frames are provided using a digital inventory. Users may try-on the fitted eyeglass frames in real time using augmented reality and efficiently manufacture the eyeglass frames using 3D printing.
EYEGLASSES LENS EVALUATION DEVICE
An eyeglasses lens evaluation device includes a fixation point setting part to set a fixation point on an evaluation target space and set a line of sight passing position on eyeglasses lenses when a wearer wears the eyeglasses lenses and looks at the fixation point, an apparent position calculating part to calculate an apparent position of each of a plurality of evaluation points set on the evaluation target space in a state where the wearer wears the eyeglasses lenses and fixates the wearer's eyes on the fixation point via the line of sight passing positions, a difference calculating part to calculate, for each of the plurality of evaluation points, a difference between the apparent position and a reference position, and an evaluation index calculating part to calculate an evaluation index by taking statics of the difference for each of the plurality of evaluation points calculated by difference calculating part.
SPECTACLE LENS AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SPECTACLE LENS
A spectacle lens for at least one eye of a user, a method for producing a spectacle lens, and a computer program product having executable instructions for performing the method for producing the spectacle lens are disclosed. The spectacle lens has a permanent marking which is or contains a diffractive structure, wherein a diffractive pattern generated by illumination of the diffractive structure is configured to be invisible upon a first kind of illumination and configured to be visible only upon a second kind of illumination. The permanent markings on the spectacle lens are, on one hand, invisible to the user or to a spectator looking at the user wearing the spectacle lens without utilizing specially selected optical aids but, on the other hand, enables continued control of the spectacle lens in front of the eye of the user by an optician or a specifically designated optical sensor.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING IMAGES OF A PAIR OF SPECTACLES
A device for acquiring images of a pair of spectacles, including a flat surface defined by an outline having a known shape and dimensions, the flat surface having at least, on the periphery thereof: —a straightening, —a size reference, and in the centre: —an acquisition area having a homogenous, non-reflective colour, the acquisition area including at least two openings intended to support the legs of the pair, and at least one position marker representing the pupils of a wearer, so as to facilitate the height positioning of the spectacle lenses in the acquisition area.
APPARATUS FOR STORING INFORMATION ON A SPECTACLES LENS, SPECTACLES LENS BLANK OR SPECTACLES LENS SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT
Information is stored in an optical element in the form of a glass or plastic body embodied as spectacles lens, spectacles lens blank or spectacles lens semi-finished product. The information in the form of data is stored on or in the glass or plastic body by creating at least one marking with a marking system. The marking can be read by a reading apparatus. The marking system has an interface for reading information individualizing the optical element. The marking is created permanently by the marking system on or in the optical element at a definition point of a local body-specific coordinate system set by two points on or in the optical element. In this body coordinate system, the manufacturer specifies the position of the lens horizontal and/or the far and/or the near and/or the prism reference point.
