EXAMINATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18593789 titled 'EXAMINATION APPARATUS
The patent application describes an examination apparatus that can detect first reflected light from one eye and second reflected light from the other eye of a subject using an imaging device and a processing unit.
- The imaging device consists of pixels with first and second photoelectric conversion units.
- The processing unit acquires signals based on the reflected light entering the photoelectric conversion units and calculates crosstalk amounts based on the positions of the eyes.
- Correction signals are generated based on the signals and the crosstalk amounts.
Potential Applications: - Ophthalmology for eye examinations - Biometric identification systems - Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies
Problems Solved: - Accurate detection of eye movements - Reduction of crosstalk interference in eye imaging
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in eye examinations - Enhanced performance in biometric systems - Better user experience in VR/AR applications
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Eye Examination Technology for Medical and Biometric Industries This technology can be used in medical facilities, security systems, and entertainment industries to enhance eye-related examinations and applications.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of eye examinations? - This technology utilizes advanced imaging and processing techniques to detect and correct crosstalk in eye imaging, leading to more precise results.
2. What are the potential market implications of this innovation? - The technology can be widely adopted in medical, security, and entertainment sectors, creating new opportunities for businesses and improving user experiences.
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.
