Optical Recognition Methods For Locating Eyes
US Patent:
6419638, Jul 16, 2002
Filed:
Aug 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/630178
Inventors:
Sam H. Hay - Huntsville AL 35801
David L. Guice - Brownsboro AL 35741
David L. Guice - Brownsboro AL 35741
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600558
Abstract:
A method for processing an image of eyes of a subject is provided. The image is divided into two halves, each containing an eye of the subject. The halves are then processed to determine at least a position of a pupil within the first half and second half. After positions of the pupils are determined, horizontal and vertical histograms are developed from the pupil in each of the halves. Several ways of plotting the respective histograms are disclosed, these plots provided with various indicators for detecting abnormal conditions of the eyes.

Filed:
Sep 8, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/150000

International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600558
Abstract:
A plurality of methods of analysis of images of eyes of a subject taken by a reflex photometer are disclosed. In this methods, a computer coupled to the reflex photometer is programmed to locate the pupil of at at least one eye, crop an image array containing the pupil from the total image and perform analyses on the cropped array to determine whether conditions are present indicative of disease processes in the eye. In essence, parameters of the subject eye are developed, and these subject pararmeters are compared to the same parameters developed by a normal eye. In addition, indications of strabismus are examined by comparing the area of the white portion of the eye on one side of the iris with the white portion on the other side of the iris.

Apparatus And Method For Treatment Of Amblyopia
US Patent:
6511175, Jan 28, 2003
Filed:
Jan 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/758411
Inventors:
Sam H. Hay - Huntsville AL 35801
Lewis N. Graham - Madison AL 35758
Lewis N. Graham - Madison AL 35758
International Classification:
G02C 716
US Classification:
351 45
Abstract:
A method for treating amblyopia in children is disclosed. A pair of eyeglasses or goggles is provided with an electrically and selectively darkenable lens, such as am LCD lens, so that for selected portions of time, one or the other eye may be occluded. In one embodiment, circuitry for providing pulses of a selected width to one or both lenses is incorporated in the eyeglasses or goggles, with the lens associated with the deviating eye receiving a wider pulse than the lens associated with the other eye. Thus, the deviating eye is occluded for a longer period of time than the normal eye. In another embodiment, a computer is coupled to the eyeglasses or goggles, and is provided with a program of interest to the child which selectively occludes the deviating eye.

Method For Determining Binocular Balance And Disorders Of Binocularity Of An Individual Or Clinical Groups Of Individuals
US Patent:
7110582, Sep 19, 2006
Filed:
Nov 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/037732
Inventors:
Sam H. Hay - Huntsville AL, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/00, A61B 13/00
US Classification:
382128, 600558
Abstract:
A method for identifying particular disorders of the eyes is disclosed. Initially, an image of the eyes in digital format is taken by a reflex photometer and the image provided to a computer programmed to run a plurality of algorithms that are associated with each type of disorder. Results of the algorithms are plotted in a format so that any of the eye disorders associated with the algorithms are readily apparent.
