Sclera-Net: Accurate Sclera Segmentation in Various Sensor Images Based on Residual Encoder and Decoder Network

IEEE Access, 2019
Sclera segmentation is revealed to be of noteworthy importance for ocular biometrics. The paramount step for biometric recognition methods is the segmentation of the area of interest, i.e., the sclera in our case.

Sclera and Iris Color Interact to Influence Gaze Perception

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
The white sclera is important in facilitating gaze perception in humans. Iris color may likewise influence gaze perception but no previous studies have directly assessed its effect.

Biomechanical Impact of the Sclera on Corneal Deformation Response to an Air-Puff: A Finite-Element Study

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
Aim or Purpose: To describe the effect of varying scleral stiffness on the biomechanical deformation response of the cornea under air-puff loading via a finite-element (FE) model.Methods: A two-dimensional axisymmetric stationary FE model of the whole ...

Five-year-old children show cooperative preferences for faces with white sclera. [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2022
The cooperative eye hypothesis posits that human eye morphology evolved to facilitate cooperation. Although it is known that young children prefer stimuli with eyes that contain white sclera, it is unknown whether white sclera influences children's ...

Differential dose-response relationships of collagen cross-linking in the cornea and sclera [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
ObjectiveThis study aimed to systematically compare the enhancing effects of different UVA irradiation intensities on the biomechanical properties of ex vivo porcine cornea and sclera, to clarify the differences in the “dose-response” relationships ...

Exploring Bias in Sclera Segmentation Models: A Group Evaluation Approach

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2023
Bias and fairness of biometric algorithms have been key topics of research in recent years, mainly due to the societal, legal and ethical implications of potentially unfair decisions made by automated decision-making models. A considerable amount of work

Altered Structure and Function of Murine Sclera in Form-Deprivation Myopia

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2022
Purpose The sclera is believed to biomechanically influence eye size, facilitating the excessive axial elongation that occurs during myopigenesis. Here, we test the hypothesis that the sclera will be remodeled and exhibit altered biomechanics in the ...

Lysyl oxidase-like 1 deficiency alters ultrastructural and biomechanical properties of the peripapillary sclera in mice

Matrix Biology Plus, 2022
Highlights • Lysyl oxidate-like 1 knockout (Loxl1-/-) mice have decreased vision without elevated intraocular pressure.• Loxl1-/- mice exhibit biometric changes of the anterior segment of the eye.• Loxl1-/- mice have altered elastin and collagen ...
