ANNULAR LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE FOR FUNDUS CAMERAS
20230039680 · 2023-02-09 · ·

A device has a light guide portion and a light collector portion. The light guide portion is cup shaped. The wall of the cup has a cross section defined by sections of two ellipses disposed in a predefined manner with each other. The light collector portion is also cup-shaped, inverted with reference to the light guide portion, by a section of an ellipse and straight lines defined with reference to the light guide portion. The device radiates an annular illumination at the rim of the cup through total internal reflection of light from an LED, collected by the light collector portion. The device is made of a clear, colourless, substantially transparent material by injection moulding, one example being Polycarbonate. An annular light source system and a fundus camera using such a system are also disclosed.

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.

There still has been room for improvement in terms of highly accurate detection of information of an eye.

The present technology provides an eye information detection device including two or more non-visible light sources, a diffractive optical element, and a light reception system. The two or more non-visible light sources have different light emission wavelengths. The diffractive optical element is disposed on an optical path of non-visible light emitted from each of the two or more non-visible light sources and reflected by an eye. The light reception system receives the non-visible light reflected by the eye and passing through the diffractive optical element. According to the present technology, it is possible to make improvement regarding the highly accurate detection of the information of the eye.
