This study introduces a new algorithm for accurately measuring pupil size and position using digital images. It incorporates limbus information for improved precision in eye care applications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Optometry
  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of anterior eye surface characteristics, particularly pupil size and centration, is vital for refractive surgery, corneal transplants, and contact lens fitting.
  • Pupil parameters vary with lighting and require a stable reference, often the limbus, which current pupillometers do not measure.
  • Existing methods lack the ability to integrate limbus position for precise pupil parameter determination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel algorithm for automatic extraction of pupil parameters from digital images.
  • To incorporate relative limbus information into the algorithm for enhanced accuracy.
  • To assess the algorithm's performance across various clinical imaging modalities.

Main Methods:
