Provided for this purpose are 3D models of the head and the spectacle frame, as well as head metadata based on the model of the head and frame metadata based on the model of the frame. The head metadata contains placement information, in particular a placement point, which can be used for the approximate positioning of the spectacle frame on the head, and/or a placement region which describes a region of the earpiece part of the frame for placement on the ears of the head. A rapid and relatively simple computational positioning of the spectacle frame on the head and a more accurate positioning using a subsequent precise adjustment can be achieved with the aid of the metadata.

Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method (10, 10', 10") for individualising a spectacle frame element (24) by adapting a parametric model of a spectacle frame element (24) to the head of a spectacles-wearer. A parametric substitution model, having at least one parameter, for the parametric model of the spectacle frame element (24) is determined by specifying a plurality of instances (30) of the parametric model in the form of realisations of the parametric model using concrete parameter values, at least one basic instance (38) and at least one parametric deformation map for the at least one basic instance (38) are determined from the predefined instances (30), the at least one parametric deformation map mapping the at least one basic instance (38) to instances (30) of the parametric model, and the parametric substitution model being determined at least from the at least one basic instance (38) and the at least one parametric map. Biometric data relating to the head of the spectacles-wearer are determined, and at least one parameter value is determined for the at least one parameter of the parametric substitution model of the spectacle frame element (24) by optimising a function that considers at least one surface point of a determined basic instance (38) of the parametric substitution model of the spectacle frame element (24) and determined data (31) relating to the head of the spectacles-wearer.

The curvature of the curved front surface (21) in the peripheral lentic zone (27) is flatter than in the optical bowl (15). The optical bowl size is large enough that a lens filling the entire frame can be glazed from it. The inclusion of a flatter peripheral lentic zone enables a larger diameter of the finished unglazed lens (d) with larger edge thickness (29) than would be possible if the same back surface was cut on a semi-finished blank having a uniform spherical front (30), without compromise to the finished lens center thickness (32). In addition, a method of manufacturing such a spectacle lens (20) and a semi-finished lens blank used in the method are provided. Figure

Abstract

A virtual try-on process for spectacles includes an approximate positioning and a fine positioning of a spectacle frame on a head of a user. Provided for this purpose are 3D models of the head and the spectacle frame, as well as head metadata based on the model of the head and frame metadata based on the model of the frame. The head metadata contains placement information, in particular a placement point, which can be used for the approximate positioning of the spectacle frame on the head, and/or a placement region which describes a region of the earpiece part of the frame for placement on the ears of the head. A rapid and relatively simple computational positioning of the spectacle frame on the head and a more accurate positioning using a subsequent precise adjustment can be achieved with the aid of the metadata.
