EYE MODEL ENROLLMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240272709 titled 'EYE MODEL ENROLLMENT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods and apparatus for creating user-aware eye models by capturing images of a user's eye in different orientations and brightness levels to generate a 3-dimensional eye model.
- Images of the user's eye are captured in multiple orientations and brightness levels.
- The captured images are processed to create a 3-dimensional, user-aware eye model.
- The eye model can include features of the cornea and pupil.
- The generated eye model can be used in processes like gaze tracking.
- The enrollment process may be iterative or continuous to optimize the eye model.
Potential Applications: 1. Biometric security systems 2. Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies 3. Medical applications for eye health monitoring 4. Human-computer interaction systems 5. Gaming and entertainment industries
Problems Solved: 1. Enhancing security through unique biometric identification 2. Improving accuracy in gaze tracking systems 3. Providing personalized user experiences in technology 4. Enhancing medical diagnostics related to eye health 5. Optimizing human-computer interaction for efficiency
Benefits: 1. Increased security through user-specific eye models 2. Enhanced accuracy in gaze tracking and eye-related applications 3. Personalized user experiences in various technologies 4. Improved medical diagnostics and monitoring capabilities 5. Enhanced efficiency in human-computer interaction systems
Commercial Applications: User-aware eye models can be utilized in various industries such as biometrics, healthcare, technology, and entertainment for enhanced security, personalized experiences, and improved efficiency in interactions.
Questions about User-Aware Eye Models: 1. How can user-aware eye models improve security measures in various industries? 2. What are the potential applications of user-aware eye models in healthcare and medical diagnostics?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and apparatus for generating user-aware eye models. during an enrollment process, images of a user's eye are captured by one or more cameras when the eye is in two or more different orientations and at two or more different levels of display brightness. the captured images are processed to generate a 3-dimensional, user-aware eye model, for example a model of at least the eye's cornea and pupil features. the generated user-aware eye model may be used in other processes, for example in a gaze tracking process. the enrollment process may be an iterative process to optimize the eye model, or a continuous process performed while the user is using the system.
