Abstract:
A method of referencing an imaged object includes, among other things, obtaining a series of images, observing key characteristics of the object in each of the series of images, associating the observed key characteristics with the object; and assigning a unique identifier to the object based upon the associated key characteristics. The series of images includes spectral and spatial imagery. Some of the key characteristics are in the spectral imagery and some of the key characteristics are in the spatial imagery.
Abstract:
A portable multi-spectral imaging system and device is disclosed. The system includes at least one image acquisition device for acquiring an image from a subject, a filtering device to filter the light received by the image acquisition device, a processor for processing the image acquired by the image acquisition device, and a display. There is software running on the processor that determines oxygenation values of the subject based on the processed image.
Abstract:
An optical processor includes a light source (20), a grating device (23), a first lens (24), a reflector (25), a second lens (26), an array of mirror cells (28), a color wheel (29), and a third lens (30). The light source is for generating a number of light beams. The grating device is for reflecting and dispersing the generated light beams. The first lens is for imaging the reflected and dispersed light beams. The reflector is for reflecting the imaged light beams. The second lens is for correcting any aberration of the reflected light beams. The array of mirror cells is for reflecting the light beams received from the second lens. The color wheel is for coloring the reflected light beams. The third lens is for projecting the colored light beams onto a display.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system and method are provided for composing an image at a selectable wavelength, wavelengths or bandwidth. Light passing through an entrance slit is dispersed into a spectrum and recorded. In an embodiment, spectral images corresponding to respective portions of an object are generated. Image data corresponding to a selected wavelength, wavelengths or bandwidth is extracted from the spectral images and compiled into an image of the object. In an embodiment, user optics are provided which allow a user to align the object with the entrance slit or to focus the light from the object onto the entrance slit.
