EXAMINATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298893 titled 'EXAMINATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

An examination apparatus that detects reflected light from the eyes of a subject using an imaging device and a processing unit.

  • The imaging device has pixels with photoelectric conversion units.
  • The processing unit acquires signals based on the reflected light and generates correction signals to account for crosstalk.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Detection of first and second reflected light from the eyes of a subject.
  • Imaging device with photoelectric conversion units.
  • Processing unit to acquire signals and correct for crosstalk.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in eye examinations, biometric identification systems, and virtual reality applications.

Problems Solved

  • Accurate detection of reflected light from both eyes.
  • Correction for crosstalk to improve measurement accuracy.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

an examination apparatus detecting first reflected light from a first eye of a subject and second reflected light from a second eye of the subject includes an imaging device, and a processing unit. the imaging device includes pixels each including a first photoelectric conversion unit and a second photoelectric conversion unit. the processing unit includes a unit configured to acquire a first signal based on the first reflected light entering the first photoelectric conversion units and a second signal based on the second reflected light entering the second photoelectric conversion units, a unit configured to acquire crosstalk amounts of the first and second signals based on information about positions of the first and second eyes, and a unit configured to generate correction signals based on the first and second signals and amounts of the crosstalk.
