摘要
This invention relates to certain improvements in the art of keratometry and, more particularly, to the use of television techniques to determine the shape of the corneal surface of an eye in essentially real-time. Paired television images of diffuse reflections from the cornea are produced by projecting an infra-red illuminated pattern onto the cornea. These diffuse reflections are compared by triangulation to define the corneal contour. The resultant data are processed by a conventional microcomputer to derive surface contour for display, the shape data so generated in a form for instant use. Compensation for image brightness at each location is provided by altering camera video amplifier gain on a pixel by pixel basis, thereby linearizing the response in photometric units. The linearization reduces the complexity of the digital signal processing required for producing a contour map of the cornea. The present invention specifically relates to devices that are used with surgical microscopes.
