Abstract:
A method for determining the torsional component of an eye about the line of sight comprises the steps of: recording an image of the eye (110); extracting a search area (120) and transforming the search area into a polar coordinate image (130); detecting objects of at least one predetermined object type in the polar coordinate image (140); creating a function of each object type depending on the polar coordinate angle phi (150); creating a code from the functions of the object types depending on the polar coordinate angle phi (160); and comparing the code with a code determined from a prior recording (170). The function of each object type is a one-dimensional function that is produced by combination (for example, summation) along the radius components. A device for determining a measurement of the torsional position of the eye position is designed to carry out the method.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a device (10) for controlling an eye surgery system, wherein a light pattern is generated on an eye (30) by an illumination device (12) and is captured by a camera unit (11) while the patient is in the position in which he or she will undergo the surgery. At least one property of the eye (30) characterizing the current orientation of the eye (30) during the surgery is determined from the light pattern (40) by a computing unit (13).
