Eigencorneas: application of principal component analysis to corneal topography

Abstract: The combination of Zernike fit and Principal Component Analysis yields a strong reduction of dimensionality of elevation topography data, to only 19 independent parameters (18 DoF plus population average), which indicates a high degree of correlation existing between anterior and posterior surfaces, and between eyes. The resulting eigencorneas are especially well suited for practical applications, as they are uncorrelated and orthonormal linear combinations of Zernike polynomials.

“…By this method, they increased the weight of the direction of the component with large estimation error and reduced the influence of other directions at the same time. Rodríguez et al [13] yielded a strong reduction of dimensionality of elevation topography data, to only 19 independent parameters combining Zernike fit and PCA and got the minimum number of orthonormal basis functions. Goudarzi et al [14] proposed a noble quantitative structure-property relationship technique on the basis of the random forest.…”

“…This lead to a set of 97 biometric parameters (see Table 1 for an overview), which was reduced down to 18 by processing the corneal elevation Zernike coefficients using Principal Component Analysis ("eigencorneas"). 11 Next, these parameters were fitted with a linear combination of two multivariate Gaussian functions using Expectation-Maximization, 12 from which it is possible to generate an unlimited number of random biometry sets with the same distributions as the original data. 10,13 Finally, these biometry sets (or Syn-tEyes) were filled in into the Navarro eye model 7 to account for missing parameters, such as e.g.…”

“…As the large number of parameters involved could cause dimensionality problems during the Gaussian modeling, we used principal component analysis to compress the number of dimensions from 91 corneal parameters to 12 eigenvectors (eigencorneas [ECs]) while retaining 99.5% of the original variability. 15 The remaining 0.5% of variability lies mostly in the higher-order aberrations and is of no real consequence to the model (Supplementary Material A). These eigencorneas are used during the stochastic process and converted back to Zernike coefficients and CCT afterward.…”

“…The purpose of the current work is therefore to improve the accuracy of the earlier model by including a Zernike description of the corneal shape. Furthermore, a number of technical improvements will be introduced to enhance its performance, such as principal component analysis to reduce the number of parameters, 15 more accurate methods to estimate the crystalline lens shape 16 and power, 17 and a linear combination of multivariate Gaussians 5 instead of refractive filtering. After verification of the model, examples will be given of possible applications.…”
