Abstract

An eyeglass wearing image analysis device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires eyeglass frame type information; and a controller that performs a control operation based on the eyeglass frame type information.

Claims (24)

1. An eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device for measuring an eyeglass wearing parameter for manufacturing eyeglasses, comprising:

an optical system comprising a light source and an imaging element;

an acquisition unit that acquires eyeglass frame type information comprising at least one selected from a group consisting of a shape of an eyeglass frame, a material of the eyeglass frame, a design of the eyeglass frame and eyeglass frame configuration information;

a controller that analyses an image of an examinee and determines an eye position height in the image from a distance from a frame position to each of the pupil positions, the eye position height being determined based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the shape of the eyeglass frame, the material of the eyeglass frame, the design of the eyeglass frame and the eyeglass frame configuration information; and

a transmission unit that outputs the determined eye position height,

wherein the controller controls the light source to adjust a light amount of the light source based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the shape of the eyeglass frame, the material of the eyeglass frame, the design of the eyeglass frame and the eyeglass frame configuration information, or the controller controls the imaging element to adjust a gain of the imaging element based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the shape of the eyeglass frame, the material of the eyeglass frame, the design of the eyeglass frame and the eyeglass frame configuration information.

2. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller selects, based on the eyeglass frame type information, an analyzing process method for analyzing and processing an image of an examinee wearing eyeglasses, and performs an image analyzing process based on the selected analyzing process method.

3. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller corrects the eyeglass wearing parameter based on the eyeglass frame type information.

4. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller corrects the eyeglass wearing parameter based on at least one of a warp angle and a pantoscopic angle as the eyeglass frame type information.

5. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit transmits the eyeglass frame type information and the determined eye position height to an external device.

6. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , comprising a selection unit that selects, based on the eyeglass frame type information which indicates if an eyeglass frame type is full rim or different from full rim, a first analyzing process method when an eyeglass frame type is the full rim, or a second analyzing process method different from the first analyzing process method when the eyeglass frame type is different from the full rim, wherein the controller performs an image analyzing process based on the analyzing process method selected by the selection unit.

7. A non-transitory storage medium storing an eyeglass wearing parameter measuring program for causing a computer to function as an eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device for measuring an eyeglass wearing parameter for manufacturing eyeglasses, wherein the eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device implements:

acquisition of eyeglass frame type information comprising at least one selected from a group consisting of a shape of an eyeglass frame, a material of the eyeglass frame, a design of the eyeglass frame and eyeglass frame configuration information;

control of a light source to adjust a light amount of the light source based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the shape of the eyeglass frame, the material of the eyeglass frame, the design of the eyeglass frame and the eyeglass frame configuration information, or control of an imaging element to adjust a gain of the imaging element based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the shape of the eyeglass frame, the material of the eyeglass frame, the design of the eyeglass frame and the eyeglass frame configuration information;

analysis an image of an examinee and determination of an eye position height in the image from a distance from a frame position to each of the pupil positions, the eye position height being determined based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the shape of the eyeglass frame, the material of the eyeglass frame, the design of the eyeglass frame and the eyeglass frame configuration information; and

output of the determined eye position height.

8. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller further determines an eyeglass wearing distance based on the eyeglass frame type information.

9. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 6 , wherein the first analyzing process method and the second analyzing process method are for detecting the eyeglass frame.

10. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit outputs the determined eye position height to a display unit.

11. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit outputs the determined eye position height to a display unit for displaying the determined eye position height on the display unit.

12. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit transmits the determined eye position height to at least one selected from a group consisting of a lens processing device, a tracer and a blocker.

13. The eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit transmits the determined eye position height to at least one selected from a group consisting of a lens processing device, a tracer and a blocker, for lens processing based on the eyeglass frame type information.

14. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device implements outputs of the determined eye position height to a display unit for displaying the determined eye position height on the display unit.

15. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the eyeglass wearing parameter measuring device implements transmission of the determined eye position height to at least one selected from a group consisting of a lens processing device, a tracer and a blocker, for lens processing based on the eyeglass frame type information.
