Direct curvature scale space: theory and corner detection.

The Curvature Scale Space (CSS) technique is considered to be a modern tool in image processing and computer vision. Direct Curvature Scale Space (DCSS) is defined as the CSS that results from convolving the curvature of a planar curve with a Gaussian kernel directly. In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of DCSS in detecting corners on planar curves. The scale space behavior of isolated single and double corner models is investigated and a number of model properties are specified which enable us to transform a DCSS image into a tree organization and, so that corners can be detected in a multiscale sense. To overcome the sensitivity of DCSS to noise, a hybrid strategy to apply CSS and DCSS is suggested.

[The mechanism and application of the correction for spherical myopia using small beam excimer laser].

In the laser ablation refractive surgeries, the corneal ablation model and its realization by laser are difficult to design. They greatly affect the results of those surgeries. This paper firstly presents a mathematical model for corneal ablation to correct the refractive error of spherical myopia, and then gives a technique of planning laser focus positions on cornea to realize the ablation model. Based on the principle of the correction for spherical myopia using small beam laser, our excimer laser corneal surgery system has been able to perform such refractive surgery. Now the corneal surgery system has been applied to clinical practice. Thirty-nine eyes with spherical myopia underwent LASIK using this kind of system. Their refractive states have been greatly improved. Preoperatively, the mean sphere was -5.57+/-2.95 D and the mean uncorrected visual acuity 0.12+/-0.07. One day after surgery, the mean sphere was -0.03+/-0.57 D and the mean uncorrected visual acuity 0.90+/-0.29. One month after surgery, the mean sphere was -0.68+/-0.98 D, and the mean uncorrected visual acuity 1.0+/-0.26.

[Research on human eye cornea's mathematical model and application in diopter correction].

The excimer laser diopter correction has proven to be efficient and safe. This paper presents the principle of excimer laser refractive surgery. Based on analyzing the mathematics model of the human eye cornea, the authors have proposed a new model which can be used to proceed the myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism diopter correction. Also studied were the excimer laser's ablation mechanism and the flying-spot scanning technology. The research results have been directly applied to Ophthalmic excimer laser system. The correction of diopter is well improved.
