描述(申请人提供)：目的：开发一种新的基于反射的角膜地形图仪，它能提供比商业系统更可靠和准确的角膜前表面测量。 具体目标：通过以下步骤确定多分辨率角膜地形图仪(MRCT)的可行性：(1)开发彩色多分辨率反射仪原型、光学面板和原型软件；(2)集成组件；(3)评估系统的性能。健康相关性：提供研究和矫正高阶像差的视力干预技术所需的更准确的前表面测量。 方法：该项目结合了一种新颖的反射靶设计、重建算法和高分辨率数码相机。我们将这种新系统称为多分辨率角膜地形图仪(MRCT)，因为反射目标使用彩色正弦轮廓，提供三个同时的多分辨率环形图像。 技术创新：MRCT系统代表了一种测量角膜前表面的新方法，它将比其他商业角膜地形图系统更坚固和准确。我们的方法是对传统反射目标法的技术创新，因为它结合了彩色正弦环靶在一次检查中获取多分辨率环状图像(4、16和环)。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Objective: Develop a new reflection-based corneal topographer that provides more reliable and accurate measurements of the anterior corneal surface than those of commercially available systems. Specific Aims: Determine the feasibility of the multi-resolution corneal topograher (MRCT) by: (1) developing prototype color multiple-resolution reflection target, optical breadboard, and prototype software; (2) integrating components; and (3) evaluating the performance of the system. Health Relatedness: Provide more accurate anterior surface measurements needed for research and vision intervention techniques that correct higher-order aberrations. Methods: The project incorporates a novel reflection target design, reconstruction algorithm, and a high resolution digital camera. We refer to this new system as the multiple-resolution corneal topographer (MRCT) because the reflection target employs color sinusoidal profiles that provide three simultaneous multiple-resolution ring images. Technological Innovation: The MRCT system represents a new way of measuring the anterior corneal surface that will be more robust and accurate than other commercially available corneal topography systems. Our approach is a technological innovation over traditional reflection target methods in that it incorporates a color sinusoidal ring target to acquire multiple-resolution ring images (4, 16, and 64 rings) in a single exam.
