DETERMINING COLOR VISION ABILITY USING A VISION SCREENING DEVICE
A vision screening device for administering vision screening tests, and in particular a color vision screening test, to a patient is described herein. The vision screening device may include associated methods and systems configured to perform the operations of the vision screening tests. The device may include a first radiation source configured to generate color stimuli, a second radiation source separate from the first radiation source configured to emit near-infrared radiation, and a sensor configured to capture the near-infrared radiation emitted by the second radiation source, and reflected by an eye of a patient. The device may also be configured to cause color stimulus to be displayed to the patient, and determine measurement(s) of the eye of the patient in response to the color stimulus. The device may be further configured to analyze the measurements to generate a recommendation and/or diagnosis associated with the vision of the patient. The device may also be configured to display the recommendation and/or the measurements, along with additional screening data, to an operator conducting the vision test.
Method for measuring a subject's eye movement and scleral contact lens
Method and contact lens (3) for measuring a subject's three dimensional eye movement including torsional movement. A video camera (1) is provided for recording an image of the subject's eye (2). The contact lens (3) is provided for placement over the subject's eye (2). The contact lens (3) comprises one or more markers (3a,3b) that are detectable by the video camera (1) and are positioned at a lateral offset (D) with respect to a central part (3p) of the contact lens (3). The one or more markers (3a,3b) are configured for detecting torsional rotation (R) of the subject's eye (2) around a line of sight axis (C) of the subject's eye (2) by using the video camera (1) to track a position of the one or more markers (3a,3b).

PUPIL DETECTION DEVICE, LINE-OF-SIGHT DETECTION DEVICE, OCCUPANT MONITORING SYSTEM, AND PUPIL DETECTION METHOD
A pupil detection device includes an eye area image obtaining unit that obtains image data representing an eye area image in a captured image obtained by a camera; a luminance gradient calculating unit that calculates luminance gradient vectors corresponding to respective individual image units in the eye area image, using the image data; an evaluation value calculating unit that calculates evaluation values corresponding to the respective individual image units, using the luminance gradient vectors; and a pupil location detecting unit that detects a pupil location in the eye area image, using the evaluation values.
COCKPIT DISPLAY AMBIENT LIGHTING INFORMATION FOR IMPROVING GAZE ESTIMATION
A computer-implemented method is described. The method is be implemented by processors of an aircraft system. The method includes receiving images of an eye and a lighting configuration associated with a cockpit of an aircraft. The method further includes detecting a position of the eye within each of the images. The method further includes compensating for a pupillary light response of the eye based on the position of the eye within the image and the lighting configuration. By compensating for the pupillary light response, a fatigue level of the operator is estimated with reduced noise.
