TL;DR: This paper presents a real-time implementation of an eye finding algorithm for a foveated active vision system, and finds that the system finds eyes in 94% of a set of behavioral trials, suggesting that alternate means of evaluating behavioral systems are necessary.
Abstract: Eye finding is the first step toward building a machine that can recognize social cues, like eye contact and gaze direction, in a natural context. In this paper, we present a real-time implementation of an eye finding algorithm for a foveated active vision system. The system uses a motion-based prefilter to identify potential face locations. These locations are analyzed for faces with a template-based algorithm developed by Sinha (1996). Detected faces are tracked in real time, and the active vision system saccades to the face using a learned sensorimotor mapping. Once gaze has been centered on the face, a high-resolution image of the eye can be captured from the foveal camera using a self-calibrated peripheral-ta-foveal mapping.We also present a performance analysis of Sinha's ratio template algorithm on a standard set of static face images. Although this algorithm performs relatively poorly on static images, this result is a poor indicator of real-time performance of the behaving system. We find that our system finds eyes in 94% of a set of behavioral trials. We suggest that alternate means of evaluating behavioral systems are necessary.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ophthalmologic abnormalities are common in patients with AIDS, are associated with severe immunoregulatory abnormalities, and carry a poor prognosis.
Abstract: • Forty-one homosexually active men had ophthalmologic and immunologic evaluations. Four of eight with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) had abnormal ocular findings that included cotton-wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, cytomegalovirus, retinitis and conjunctivitis due to cytomegalovirus, and keratoconjunctivitis sicca. The other four patients with AIDS and 33 homosexual male controls had normal ocular examinations. Patients with AIDS and abnormal eye findings had a notably lower total leukocyte count, absolute lymphocyte count, percentage T-helper lymphocytes, helper-suppressor lymphocyte ratio, hematocrit level, and platelet count than patients with AIDS and normal results on eye examination or controls. All patients with AIDS and abnormal eye examination results died; the four other patients with AIDS and normal eye findings remain alive. These observations suggest that ophthalmologic abnormalities are common in patients with AIDS, are associated with severe immunoregulatory abnormalities, and carry a poor prognosis.

TL;DR: The primary care physician needs to be aware of the specific eye problems of Down syndrome individuals so that he or she may initiate or refer the patient for appropriate ophthalmologic care, because most of the eye findings in Down syndrome are treatable.
Abstract: A total of 187 medical records of Down syndrome individuals over a 10-year period were reviewed retrospectively for strabismus, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, nystagmus, cataract, glaucoma, and other significant eye findings. This study showed that a higher proportion of these individuals than reported in previous studies had strabismus (57%). Refractive errors of myopia (22.5%), hyperopia (20.9%) and astigmatism (22%) were common. The primary care physician needs to be aware of the specific eye problems of Down syndrome individuals so that he or she may initiate or refer the patient for appropriate ophthalmologic care, because most of the eye findings in Down syndrome are treatable. Significant visual loss, a usually avoidable event in Down syndrome, should occur rarely.
