Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a method of remotely measuring a size of a pupil, including: acquiring an image of a to-be-measured person by using a detection device; acquiring an image of a pupil of the to-be-measured person from the image of the to-be-measured person; measuring a distance between the to-be-measured person and the detection device by using the detection device; and calculating an actual size of the pupil of the to-be-measured person based on the measured distance and the image of the pupil of the to-be-measured person. The present disclosure further provides an apparatus for remotely measuring a size of a pupil, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of determining whether a person has taken drugs, comprising: acquiring an image of a person using a detection device; acquiring an image of a pupil of the person from the image of the person; measuring a distance between the person and the detection device using the detection device; calculating an actual size of the pupil of the person based on the measured distance and a size of pixels occupied by the image of the pupil of the person in the image of the person; measuring a body temperature of the person by using the detector; and determining whether the person has taken drugs based on the actual size of the pupil of the person and the body temperature of the person. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the actual size of the pupil of the person to the size of pixels occupied by the image of the pupil of the person in the image of the person is proportional to the measured distance. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image of the pupil is acquired by at least one of a plurality of cameras arranged in a first array in the detection device. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the person and the detection device is acquired by at least one of a plurality of distance measurement devices arranged in a second array in the detection device. 5. An electronic device, comprising: one or more processors; and a memory for storing one or more computer programs, wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement the method of claim 1 . 6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement the method of claim 1 .
