Abstract[English]
In certain embodiments, a system for aligning an eye includes an illuminator, a camera system, and a computer. The illuminator directs an alignment pattern towards the eye at one or more positions. The alignment pattern is designed to indicate a perpendicular alignment of the eye with an ophthalmic system. The camera system generates an image of the alignment pattern reflected from the eye at each position of the one or more positions to yield one or more images. The computer performs an analysis of the one or more images to detect the perpendicular alignment of the eye with the ophthalmic system and determines the perpendicular alignment of the eye with the ophthalmic system in accordance with the analysis.[French]
Dans certains modes de réalisation, un système d'alignement d'un œil comprend un éclairage, un système de caméra et un ordinateur. L'éclairage dirige un motif d'alignement vers l’œil au niveau d'une ou de plusieurs positions. Le motif d'alignement est conçu pour indiquer un alignement perpendiculaire de l’œil avec un système ophtalmique. Le système de caméra génère une image du motif d'alignement réfléchi par l’œil au niveau de chaque position de la ou des positions pour produire une ou plusieurs images. L'ordinateur effectue une analyse de la ou des images pour détecter l'alignement perpendiculaire de l’œil avec le système ophtalmique et détermine l'alignement perpendiculaire de l’œil avec le système ophtalmique en fonction de l'analyse.
