In this thesis we applied, in a complementary way, techniques of digital image processing and reflectance spectroscopy to perform cover factor (CF) measurements in monochrome openwork fabrics. To evaluate the results ...
(English) Vision is central to human perception. It emanates from a complex organ, the human eye, starting from photodetection in the retina. However, the quality of the visual experience depends on the anatomical integrity ...
The incidence of skin cancer in Europe, US and Australia has been rising rapidly. Skin cancer accounts for one in three cancers worldwide and a person has 1:25 chance to develop a melanoma, the most aggressive form. Visual ...
Healthy visual function not only relies on good visual acuity. Other systems such as accommodation or binocular vision need to be effective. Binocular vision is the ability of the visual system to coordinate and integrate ...
In this Ph.D. Thesis, we have developed a new measurement method to measure the contact angle and the surface energy in hydrophobic samples with a device based on confocal technology. This new measurement method incorporates ...
Un dispositivo de captura (escáner o cámara) de imágenes digitales no es un instrumento de medida del color como un espectrofotómetro o un tele-espectrocolorímetro. Aunque codifica la información espectral contenida en una ...
People with peripheral visual field loss perceive limited information about the environment and present severe problems in achieving successful orientation and mobility. In recent years, virtual and augmented reality systems ...
Multispectral systems have several applications and there are different possible configurations in which they can be implemented. Different characteristics make them useful, but the basic one is the access to spectral ...
Myopia is the main cause of vision loss worlwide, with associated ocular pathology risks related to myopia amount. Therefore, interventions directed towards limiting or preventing the progression of myopia are of high ...
This work can be framed in the field of computer-aided optical systems design and it is a part of a larger project in which automated processes are studied and implemented aiming to reduce the time span that stands between ...
Intoduction: There is an agreement in the scientific community, which indicates that excessive exposure to digital displays poses implications at a visual level, being ocular dryness and visual fatigue those of greater ...
Stent quality control is a critical process. Coronary stents have to be inspected 100% so no defective stent is implanted into a human body. We have developed an optical non-contact measurement instrument that provides ...
(English) Three-dimensional measurement of roughness and shape of a surface provides information about an object properties through surface parameters. These parameters are defined by international standards and can describe ...
The importance of vision in life is unquestionable. It is because of this that optometry, as a science of vision focused in measurement and analysis of visual function, has been developing techniques and instruments to ...
This thesis proposes a method to evaluate and quantify in a precise way the peripheral refraction induced by an ophthalmic lens. The motivation for this work stems from the progression of myopia and its possible causes; ...
Goniochromatic pigments, such as automotive coatings, are known by their appearance changes - especially of colour and visual texture - as a function of the angles of illumination and observation; they are classified as ...
Las hemianopsias homónimas se pueden definir como la pérdida absoluta o parcial de la visión en las mitades derechas o izquierdas de los campos visuales de ambos ojos. Los pacientes que sufren un defecto hemianópsico ...
Vision loss affects physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing and social life as well. High life expectancy and health policies are translated into an aging population worldwide, which has higher risk of eye’s ...
In this Thesis, we explore Self-mixing interferometry (SMI ), a method capable of producing high resolution optical path related measurements in a simple, compact and cost-effective way. Even with a notably less complex ...
(English) Diffractive multifocal intraocular lens typically uses a hybrid refractive-diffractive design that consist of a high-power refractive base lens and a low-power diffractive profile engraved on one of its surfaces. ...
