    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for providing a vision simulation of a patient who has an eye condition. A composite image representing a real-world scene is obtained. The composite image includes multiple image layers, where each image layer represents objects that are at a particular viewing distance in the real-world scene. A first eye model representing the eye optics of the patient is generated. A second eye model representing the eye optics of a viewer is generated. The second eye model is modified by performing a mathematical function. A simulated image representing the vision of the patient is generated by convolving the first eye model and the modified second eye model with the composite image. In some embodiments, a tone mapping algorithm may also be applied to the simulated image to simulate a nighttime scene.

    Abstract: In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic system and computer-implemented method for analyzing multiple spectral information to generate ophthalmic information are described. In an exemplary ophthalmic system, multiple spectral information associated with an eye of a patient is captured via an imaging system. A first set of information and a second set of information are extracted from the multiple spectral information. A visualization of the multiple spectral information is generated using the first set of information. The first set of information and the second set of information are evaluated using different deep learning models to generate ophthalmic information. The ophthalmic information is sent to a user for diagnostic evaluation.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an ophthalmic imaging device for enhancing images. The device comprises an image capture component configured to generate an image stream comprising a first frame preceding a second frame, both capturing a branch of veins in an eye. The device further comprises an image processor configured to calculate first order statistics for a plurality of blocks for the first frame and to interpolate first order statistics for the first frame based at least in part on the branch of veins. The image processor is also configured to generate a tone mapping function and calculate tone mapping values for individual pixels of the second frame based on the tone mapping function. The image processor is additionally configured to generate an enhanced frame based on the calculated tone mapping values for individual pixels of the second frame to the pixels of the second frame.

    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a system, a computer-implemented method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing integrated analysis of MSI and OCT images to diagnose eye disorders. MSI and OCT are processed using separate input machine learning models to create input feature maps that are input to an intermediate machine learning model. The intermediate machine learning model processes the input feature maps and outputs a final feature map that is processed by one or more output machine learning models that output one or more estimated representations of a pathology of the eye of the patient. A single device captures OCT and non-OCT images using (a) a sensor of a first imaging device that is shared with a second imaging device and/or (b) an optical component for directing light form the retina to the first imaging device or the second imaging device.

    Abstract: A system and method for visually enhancing an original image of an eye includes a visualization module. A controller is configured to convert an output of the visualization module to a first pixel cloud in a first color space and map the first pixel cloud to a second pixel cloud in a second color space. The method includes identifying at least one selected zone in the second color space. The controller is configured to move the selected zone from an original location to a modified location in the second color space. The second pixel cloud is updated to obtain a modified second pixel cloud, which is transformed into a third pixel cloud in the first color space. An enhanced image is formed based in part on the modified second pixel cloud and provides selective visual enhancement in the selected zone without affecting contrast in a remainder of the original image.

    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a system, a computer-implemented method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for light efficient fluorescence imaging. The retina is flashed with broadband light and returned light is imaged after passing through one or more filters, such as notch filers, low-pass filters, and high-pass filters. Images may be captured with a single camera or at least two cameras, one capturing transmitted light from the filter and the other capturing returned light. Images may be combined by subtraction and/or addition to obtain a combined image representing light within a passband whereas no passband filters are used during imaging.

    Abstract: Particular embodiments disclosed herein provide an alignment guide for aligning a toric IOL during surgery. An image with a reference axis is obtained, such as from a digital microscope, and processed, such as using an autoencoder, to label alignment marks on the IOL and possibly other features of the IOL. The label is processed, such as using a logistic regression model, to estimate an IOL axis of the IOL intersecting the alignment marks. An output image is generated from the image that has superimposed thereon guides to a surgeon, such as a line representing the IOL axis, a rotation direction indicator, and a number or other representation of a difference between the reference axis and the IOL axis. Tracking of features of the IOL may be performed across multiple images to predict the location of features not represented in a particular image.
