Abstract

An interpupillary distance measuring method, a wearable ophthalmic device and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: capturing at least one eye image; extracting corresponding one or two pupil image positions corresponding to a monocular pupil or pupils to two eyes in the at least one eye image; and determining an actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions.

Claims (64)

1. An interpupillary distance measuring method, comprising:

capturing at least one eye image;

extracting one pupil image position corresponding to a monocular pupil from one eye image including one eye, or extracting two pupil image positions corresponding to pupils of two eyes from two eye images each of which includes one eye; and

determining an actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions, wherein

capturing the at least one eye image includes: adopting a first camera and a second camera to respectively capture a left-eye image including a left eye and a right-eye image including a right eye;

extracting the one pupil image position corresponding to the monocular pupil in the at least one eye image, from the at least one eye image, includes: determining the pupil image position of the left-eye pupil in the left-eye image and the pupil image position of the right-eye pupil in the right-eye image; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions includes:

determining an image position of the first camera in the left-eye image and an image position of the second camera in the right-eye image;

determining a first horizontal image distance between the pupil image position of the left-eye pupil and the image position of the first camera in the left-eye image;

determining a first horizontal actual distance between the left-eye pupil and the first camera according to the first horizontal image distance;

determining a second horizontal image distance between the pupil image position of the right-eye pupil and the image position of the second camera in the right-eye image;

determining a second horizontal actual distance between the right-eye pupil and the second camera according to the second horizontal image distance; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the first horizontal actual distance and the second horizontal actual distance.

2. The interpupillary distance measuring method according to claim 1 , wherein

determining the first horizontal actual distance between the left-eye pupil and the first camera according to the first horizontal image distance includes:

measuring a vertical actual distance between the first camera and the second camera and the two eyes;

determining a first FOV of the first camera;

reading a height of the left-eye image; and

determining the first horizontal actual distance between the left-eye pupil and the first camera according to the vertical actual distance, the first FOV, the first horizontal image distance, and the height of the left-eye image; and

determining the second horizontal actual distance between the right-eye pupil and the second camera according to the second horizontal image distance includes:

determining a second FOV of the second camera;

reading a height of the right-eye image; and

determining the second horizontal actual distance between the right-eye pupil and the second camera according to the vertical actual distance, the second FOV, the second horizontal image distance, and the height of the right-eye image.

3. The interpupillary distance measuring method according to claim 2 , wherein the height is a longitudinal pixel size of the image acquired by the camera.

4. The interpupillary distance measuring method according to claim 1 , wherein

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes further includes:

acquiring the actual distance between the first camera and the second camera;

calculating a sum of the first horizontal actual distance and the second horizontal actual distance; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes by subtracting the sum of the distances from the actual distance between the first and second cameras.

5. The interpupillary distance measuring method according to claim 1 , wherein extracting the one or two pupil image positions corresponding to the monocular pupil or the pupils of two eyes in the at least one eye image, from the at least one eye image, includes:

extracting an image area provided with one eye or two eyes from the at least one eye image;

obtaining a grayscale image by filtering and graying of the image area;

converting the grayscale image into a binary image;

finding a boundary of the monocular pupil area or a boundary of the binocular pupil area in the binary image;

obtaining one or two elliptical graphics by ellipse fitting of the boundary of the monocular pupil area or the boundary of the binocular pupil area; and

taking a center of each elliptical graphic as the image position of corresponding pupil.

6. An interpupillary distance measuring method, comprising:

capturing at least one eye image;

extracting one pupil image position corresponding to a monocular pupil from one eye image including one eye, or extracting two pupil image positions corresponding to pupils of two eyes from two eye images each of which includes one eye; and

determining an actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions, wherein

capturing the at least one eye image includes: capturing an eye image including the monocular pupil and a set marker;

extracting the one pupil image position corresponding to the monocular pupil in the at least one eye image, from the at least one eye image, includes:

extracting the pupil image position of the monocular pupil in the eye image; and

extracting a mark position of the marker from the eye image; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions includes:

determining a horizontal image distance between the monocular pupil and the marker according to the pupil image position of the monocular pupil and the mark position; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the horizontal image distance between the monocular pupil and the marker.

7. The interpupillary distance measuring method according to claim 6 , wherein determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the horizontal image distance between the monocular pupil and the marker includes:

measuring a vertical actual distance between the two eyes and a camera;

determining a FOV of the camera;

reading the horizontal image distance between the monocular pupil and the marker;

reading a height of the eye image; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the vertical actual distance between the two eyes and the camera, the FOV, the horizontal image distance between the monocular pupil and the marker, and the height of the eye image.

8. A wearable ophthalmic device, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein

the memory stores instructions, and the following operations are implemented when the instructions are executed by the processor:

extracting one pupil image position corresponding to a monocular pupil from one eye image including one eye or extracting two pupil image positions corresponding to pupils of two eyes from two eye images each of which includes one eye; and

determining an actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions,

wherein the wearable ophthalmic device further comprises a first camera, and the first camera is configured to capture an eye image including the pupils of two eyes; and

the following operations are implemented when the instructions stored in the memory are executed by the processor:

determining the pupil image positions of the pupils of two eyes in the eye image;

determining an image distance of the pupils of two eyes on the eye image according to the pupil image positions of the pupils of two eyes; and

determining the actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the image distance of the pupils of two eyes.
