Abstract
Various embodiments of the disclosure comprise an eye imaging system including an eye imaging apparatus and an eye imaging computing apparatus. The eye imaging apparatus can be configured to receive a plurality of images of the eye with a same field of view while each portion of the eye is illuminated time-sequentially. The image computing apparatus can comprise an image processing unit configured to combine the plurality of images into a composite image. Various embodiments of the disclosure comprise a syntactic image analyzing method. The syntactic image analyzing method can comprise aligning a plurality of images of an eye with a same field of view and combining the plurality of images into a composite image. The image analyzing method can further comprise analyzing each image by identifying a boundary line of a clear portion and gradually removing an unclear portion in each image.
