Abstract

Aspects of the invention include a computer implemented method for simulating visual field test results from structural scans, the method includes processing eye image data to extract visual functioning related features. Additionally, generating a representation of a visual function of the eye that is independent of a visual field test (VFT) configuration. Then generating a simulated VFT configuration specific test result based at least in part on the representation.

Claims (41)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

processing, by a processor, eye image data to extract visual functioning related features;

generating, by the processor, a representation of a visual function of the eye that is independent of a visual field test (VFT) configuration; and

generating, by the processor, a simulated VFT configuration specific test result based at least in part on the representation.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the VFT configuration comprises a VFT device type or a VFT device setting.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the VFT configuration comprises a VFT.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

interfacing with a visual field testing software on a computing system; and

providing the simulated device specific test result in a format similar to a format generated by the visual field testing software.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the eye image data was obtained using optical coherence tomography.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the VFT configuration specific test result is generated by a decoder of a plurality of decoders.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 further comprising:

receiving a selection of a VFT configuration; and

selecting the decoder of the plurality of decoders based on the selection.

8. A system comprising:

a memory having computer readable instructions; and

one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

processing eye image data to extract visual functioning related features;

generating a representation of a visual function of the eye that is independent of a visual field test (VFT) configuration; and

generating a simulated VFT configuration specific test result based at least in part on the representation.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the VFT configuration comprises a VFT device type or a VFT device setting.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the VFT configuration comprises a VFT.

11. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

interfacing with a visual field testing software on a computing system; and

providing the simulated device specific test result in a format similar to a format generated by the visual field testing software.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the eye image data was obtained using optical coherence tomography.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the VFT configuration specific test result is generated by a decoder of a plurality of decoders.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a selection of a VFT configuration; and

selecting the decoder of the plurality of decoders based on the selection.

15. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

processing eye image data to extract visual functioning related features;

generating a representation of a visual function of the eye that is independent of a visual field test (VFT) configuration; and

generating a simulated VFT configuration specific test result based at least in part on the representation.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the VFT configuration comprises a VFT device type or a VFT device setting.

17. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the VFT configuration comprises a VFT.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:

interfacing with a visual field testing software on a computing system; and

providing the simulated device specific test result in a format similar to a format generated by the visual field testing software.

19. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the eye image data was obtained using optical coherence tomography.

20. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the VFT configuration specific test result is generated by a decoder of a plurality of decoders.
