Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for maintaining consistent lumen output of a lighting assembly over time. By maintaining a consistent lumen output, it is possible to maintain acceptable color stability where color mixing of multiple outputs is used. The lighting assembly may be any lighting configuration that might suffer from lumen depreciation and/or color drift over time, and may include any type(s) of light source(s) that may be monitored and driven accordingly. The lighting assembly, in addition to light source(s), includes a photo detector and a directed light source, such as a laser. The directed light source provides a golden sample for use in calibrating the photo detector, which in turn monitors lumen output of the light source(s). Drive signals are adjusted to account for lumen depreciation of the monitored light source(s).

Abstract: There are provided a drift calculation device capable of accurately calculating a drift by using a buffer of smaller capacity, and a light detection device provided with the same. Every time measurement intensity is input according to a predetermined cycle, data in a plurality of sum buffers 321 to 324 are updated based on at least one of the measurement intensity and the measurement time at that time. The sum buffers 321 to 324 are assigned respectively to a plurality of sum functions forming a coefficient included in a calculation formula for calculating a drift by using the least squares method. A drift is calculated by substituting the updated data in the plurality of sum buffers 321 to 324 in the calculation formula. Since it is not necessary to store all the measurement intensity input at the predetermined cycle, a drift is accurately calculated by a buffer of smaller capacity.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a shutter, an array of photodetectors, and electronic circuitry associated with the photodetectors to read intensity values from the photodetectors, the electronic circuitry including elements configured to provide an operating bias point of the photodetectors. The imaging system includes components, such as a controller, configured to adaptively adjust the operating bias for the photodetectors wherein the adjustment is based at least in part on intermittent measurement of a flat field image. During use, the imaging system can be configured to perform intermittent adjustments of the operating bias based on changes in photodetector values for intermittently acquired flat field images. Adjustment of the operating bias may provide compensation for drift over time of the photodetectors and/or electronics due to effects including but not limited to temperature changes.
