PAROS 1.0.0

PARaxial Optical fundus Scaling (PAROS)
Paros is a method to calculate the magnification of fundus images based on the optical characteristics of the patient's eye. The full method and validation are described in (article reference to be added upon acceptance)

Basic usage
A basic version of PAROS can most easily be run online here: Basic version
The full package is also available for download via PiP:
pip install PAROS

PAROS consists of two main functions:

‘fundus_camera_calibration.ipynb’: a method to calibrate camera using eye phantom measurements.
‘calculate_ocular_magnification.ipynb’: a method to calculate magnification fundus images of a subject.

Implementation
The implementation of PAROS in this repository is functional for the camera in our center, and with the specific software used at our center. Both have impact on the calculated magnification. We therefore recommend calibration of the camera and software using the method described in the article mentioned below before implementation for quantitative purposes.
Camera constants
