Circular polarizers enhance visibility of endothelium in specular reflection biomicroscopy.
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple and inexpensive technique for enhancing the visibility of corneal endothelial cells in specular reflection biomicroscopy involves the insertion of a circular polarizer in front of the patient's eye, intersecting both the incident and reflected light beams. This filter significantly reduces the glare from the epithelium and enables more comfortable and clearer viewing of the endothelial cells.

Wavelet-Texture Method: BRDF Compression by using Daubechies Wavelet, Reflection Model, and Circular Polarizer
In order to create a photorealistic VR model, we have to record the appearance of the object from different directions under different illuminations. In this paper, we propose a method which renders photorealistic images from small size of data. First, we separates the images of the object into diffuse reflection component and specular reflection component by using circular polarizers. Then, we...

Circular polarizing filters have recently been introduced in several ophthalmic applications. These applications include clinical instruments for ophthalmoscopy, slit-lamp specular microscopy, and fundus photography, as well as consumer products such as 3-D movie projection and viewing systems and glare-control screens for computer visual display terminals. The nature of circularly polarized li...

This paper presents a general solution for realizing high dynamic range three-dimensional (3-D) shape measurement based on fringe projection. Three concrete techniques are involved in the solution for measuring object with large range of reflectivity (LRR) or one with shiny specular surface. For the first technique, the measured surface reflectivities are sub-divided into several groups based o...
