SINGLE PIXEL THREE-DIMENSIONAL RETINAL IMAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240260828 titled 'SINGLE PIXEL THREE-DIMENSIONAL RETINAL IMAGING
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and methods for eye tracking using digital micro-mirror devices to emit light onto a user's eye, detect reflections from the retina using single pixel detectors, and reconstruct a 3D shape of the retina.
- Light is emitted onto the user's eye using digital micro-mirror devices.
- Reflections from the retina are detected by single pixel detectors.
- Signals associated with the reflections are determined by the detectors.
- A grayscale image of the retina is generated by transforming the signals.
- A 3D shape of the retina is reconstructed based on the grayscale image.
Potential Applications: 1. Medical diagnostics for eye conditions. 2. Biometric security systems. 3. Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies.
Problems Solved: 1. Accurate eye tracking for various applications. 2. Non-invasive monitoring of eye health. 3. Enhanced user experience in virtual environments.
Benefits: 1. Improved accuracy in eye tracking. 2. Early detection of eye diseases. 3. Enhanced user interaction in virtual environments.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in medical devices, security systems, and entertainment industries to enhance user experiences and improve diagnostic capabilities.
Questions about Eye Tracking: 1. How does this technology improve upon existing eye tracking methods? 2. What are the potential limitations of using single pixel detectors for eye tracking?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new applications for eye tracking technology, such as in human-computer interaction and neuroscience studies.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for eye tracking are disclosed. the system may emit, by a digital micro-mirror device(s) (dmd), light, including binary images or grayscale images, onto an eye(s) of a user. the system may determine, by single pixel detectors, a reflection of the light from the eye(s). the system may determine, by a first single pixel detector, a first signal associated with the reflection of the light from a retina of the eye(s). the system may determine, by a second single pixel detector, a second signal associated with the reflection of light from the retina of the eye(s). the system may perform, by the dmd(s), a transformation on the first and second signals to determine a grayscale image(s) of the retina. the system may determine, by the dmd(s), a 3d shape(s) of the retina based on performing a 3d reconstruction(s) associated with pixels of the grayscale image(s) of the retina.
