title: Automated Real-Time Conjunctival Microvasculature Image Stabilization.
abstract: The bulbar conjunctiva is a thin, vascularized membrane covering the sclera of the eye. Non-invasive imaging techniques have been utilized to assess the conjunctival vasculature as a means of studying microcirculatory hemodynamics. However, eye motion often confounds quantification of these hemodynamic properties. In the current study, we present a novel optical imaging system for automated stabilization of conjunctival microvasculature images by real-time eye motion tracking and realignment of the optical path. The ability of the system to stabilize conjunctival images acquired over time by reducing image displacements and maintaining the imaging area was demonstrated.
