A new method uses Fourier-Mellin Correlation (FMC) for pupil light reflex (PLR) evaluation via video, offering an accessible alternative to specialized devices. This approach bypasses pupil detection, enabling low-cost neurological assessments with smartphones.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional penlight tests for pupil light reflex (PLR) are being replaced by specialized devices in clinical settings.
  • Existing smartphone-based PLR methods rely on deep learning and machine vision, facing accuracy and reliability challenges.
  • There is a need for accessible, low-cost, and reliable methods for PLR assessment outside of specialized departments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, accessible method for evaluating the pupil light reflex (PLR) response using digital video recordings.
  • To bypass the need for complex pupil detection algorithms by employing a correlation-based approach.
  • To validate the method's accuracy and robustness under various simulated and real-world conditions.

  • Utilized Fourier-Mellin Correlation (FMC), a translation-invariant technique, to measure scale changes for PLR assessment.
  • Generated synthetic PLR recordings across diverse eye colors to validate the FMC method.
  • Conducted Monte Carlo error analysis on constriction ratio (CR) and constriction velocity (CV) using a rendering model, considering factors like noise, frame rate, and compression.
  • Collected real-world data from human subjects using smartphone cameras.

Main Results:

  • Error analysis indicated frame rate significantly impacts CV error (bias: 0.65%, random: 23.81%) and added noise affects CR error (bias: 4.83%, random: 6.38%).
  • Real data demonstrated the method's capability to capture key PLR biomarkers, including constriction values, timing, and dilation/constriction velocities.
  • The FMC approach proved robust in detecting pupil dynamics across varying image conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Fourier-Mellin Correlation (FMC) method offers a robust, low-cost, and accessible solution for PLR measurement using standard video devices.
  • This technique eliminates the need for specialized hardware and complex pupil detection, enhancing neurological assessment capabilities.
  • The findings suggest significant potential for improving patient care through widespread, accessible neurological monitoring.
