Process for determining ophthalmic parameters by 3D mapping
A method for determining ophthalmic parameters for a given frame and a given wearer, including: a) the given wearer is fitted with said given frame; b) providing a device including a first projecting mean able to project a pattern of optical radiation onto the face of the wearer, a first camera able to record said pattern of optical radiation, a processing device able to processes the image of the pattern in order to generate a depth map of the face of the wearer, a screen able to display the images recorded by said first camera and a light source able to illuminate the pupils of the wearer, c) recording simultaneously a depth map of the face of the wearer and a picture of the face of the wearer while said light source is illuminating the pupils of the wearer.
1. A method for determining ophthalmic parameters for a given frame and a given wearer, said method comprising the following steps:
a) fitting said given wearer with said given frame;
b) providing a mobile device comprising a first projecting mean able to project a pattern of optical radiation onto the face of the wearer, a first camera able to record said pattern of optical radiation, a processing device able to processes the image of the pattern in order to generate a depth map of the face of the wearer, a screen able to display the images recorded by said first camera and a light source able to illuminate the pupils of the wearer,
c) recording simultaneously a depth map of the face of the wearer and a picture of the face of the wearer while said light source is obtained by displaying a white form on said screen and is illuminating the pupils of the wearer while said screen displays a focusing point,
d) determining automatically the position of the pupils of the wearer,
e) associating the position of the pupils of the wearer to their respective coordinates in the depth map,
f) determining from the respective coordinates of the pupils of the wearer said ophthalmic parameters, and
further comprising a step wherein the position of the pupils obtained at step d) is displayed on the screen with said recorded image of the face of the wearer and wherein said position can be corrected.
2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising a step wherein the position of said frame is calculated form the recorded image of the face of the wearer and said position is associated to its respective coordinate in the depth map.
3. The method according to claim 1 further comprising a step where the position of said frame is displayed on the screen with said recorded image of the face of the wearer and wherein said position can be corrected.
4. The method according to claim 1 wherein said optical parameters are chosen from the group comprising far vision pupillary distance, near vision pupillary distance, vertex pantoscopic tilt, frame wrap, near vision fitting height and far vision fitting height.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wearer is holding said mobile device at an arm length and at eye level.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wearer is holding said mobile device at a reading distance.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, before step c), determining the direction of gaze of the wearer from a depth map obtained by illuminating the face of the wearer by the first projecting mean with a pattern of optical radiation and by recording a second picture comprising said pattern.
8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, before step c), determining the head inclination of the wearer from a depth map obtained by illuminating the face of the wearer by the first projecting mean with a pattern of optical radiation and by recording a second picture comprising said pattern.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said focusing point is a red circle.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said focusing point is near said camera.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said focusing point is shifted to the right, to the left, above or below said camera.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said screen displays a transversal line while step c).
13. The method according to the screen to claim 1 , wherein said screen displays the image recorded by said camera.
14. A mobile device, comprising a first projecting mean able to project a pattern of optical radiation onto the face of an individual wearing a frame, a first camera able to record said pattern of optical radiation, a processing device able to process the image of the pattern in order to generate a depth map of the face of said individual, a screen able to display the images recorded by said first camera, a light source able to illuminate the pupils of the wearer wherein said mobile device further comprises a software able to implement a process according to claim 1 .
