METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING A 3D MAP OF AN EARDRUM

A method for obtaining a three-dimensional map of an eardrum includes the steps of i) obtaining a two-dimensional representation of a reflection comprising a deformed illumination pattern of a structured illumination pattern projected onto the eardrum; and ii) constructing by a trained deep learning model the three-dimensional map based on the reflection. The deep learning model is further trained by a training dataset comprising a plurality of height maps and corresponding two-dimensional representations of a reflection comprising a deformed illumination pattern.
