    Abstract: A scanning laser ophthalmoscope for scanning the retina of an eye is provided comprising a light source emitting a beam of light, scan relay elements, wherein the light source and the scan relay elements provide a two-dimensional scan of the light beam which is transferred from an apparent point source at a pupillary point of the eye to the retina of the eye, and a static aberration correction element which has a shape defined to provide correction of aberrations of at least some of the scan relay elements and a location within the ophthalmoscope chosen to provide correction of aberrations of at least some of the scan relay elements, which location maintains transfer of the beam of light from the apparent point source at the pupillary point of the eye to the retina of the eye.

    Abstract: A method of reducing jitter error in a laser scanning system adapted to produce a scanned image including a number of lines of an object. The method includes the steps of providing a reference object arranged such that the scanned image produced by the laser scanning system includes a reference image of the reference object, processing the reference image to calculate an error arising from non-repeatable displacement of the lines of the reference image, and adjusting at least one operating parameter of the laser scanning system in response to the calculated error.

    Abstract: A method of determining a geometrical measurement of a retina of an eye, comprising obtaining a two dimensional representation of at least a portion of the retina of the eye (34), deriving a geometrical remapping which converts the two dimensional representation of the retinal portion to a three dimensional representation of the retinal portion (36), using one or more coordinates of the two dimensional representation of the retinal portion to define the geometrical measurement to be taken of the retina on the two dimensional representation (38), using the geometrical remapping to convert the or each coordinate of the two dimensional representation of the retinal portion to an equivalent coordinate of the three dimensional representation of the retinal portion (40), and using the or each equivalent coordinate of the three dimensional representation of the retinal portion to determine the geometrical measurement of the retina of the eye (42).

    Abstract: An image processing apparatus uses first and second digital vascular image data to register two images. The two images may be from different imaging modes. The first and second images are processed with a two-dimensional, directional filter (500) that has the effect of producing clusters of orthogonally adjacent image data points in which the magnitude of an intensity gradient between each orthogonally adjacent image data point is less than a predetermined value. Subsequently, common clusters are identified between the first and second image data using a corner detecting algorithm (600). The directional filter produces “stepping” features, where vascular features would otherwise appear with smooth edges. These numerous features are identified by the corner detecting algorithm and can be used (1000) for registering common clusters between the first and second image data. The filter may be a rotating Gabor filter matched to vascular features in the images.

    Abstract: There is provided a method of processing image data defining a fundus image of a retina to include supplementary information on a designated feature in the fundus image, comprising: designating (S10) a feature in the fundus image; receiving (S20) OCT data of a C-scan of the retina; selecting (S30) a subset of the OCT data representing a volumetric image of a part of the retina at a location on the retina corresponding to a location of the designated feature in the fundus image; processing (S40) the selected subset to generate, as the supplementary information, supplementary image data indicative of a variation, along a depth direction of the retina, of a measured reflectance of the eye in the selected subset; and combining (S50) the image data with the supplementary image data, such that an image defined by the combined data provides an indication of the variation at the designated feature.
