  • Publication number: 20190086263
    Abstract: A reflectometer has a depth sensor which obtains distance information between the depth sensor and an object, a light source which emits light having a calibrated light spectrum, a spectral sensor which collects spectral information from light reflected from the object, and a circuitry. The circuitry calculates a reflectance spectrum for the object based on the distance information and the spectral information collected from light being reflected from the object, wherein the light originates from the light source.

  • Patent number: 10216357
    Abstract: An apparatus including a processor configured to: obtain image data representing an object for being displayed to a user, wherein the object is displayed on the basis of left eye image data and right eye image data obtained on the basis of the image data; obtain user eye position data representing a left pupil position and a right pupil position of the user; and generate a left eye image position for the left eye image data and a right eye image position for the right eye image data on the basis of the user eye position data.

  • Publication number: 20170269341
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a wafer level lens stack, which has a substrate, a first, a second lens and an actuator. The substrate has a first side and a second side. The second side is opposite to the first side. The first lens is on the first side of the substrate. The second lens is on the second side of the substrate and the second lens can change its refraction characteristic. The actuator can change the refraction characteristic of the second lens.

  • Patent number: 9584722
    Abstract: An electronic device including: an image sensor including plural sensors divided into groups; a multi-lens array including plural lenses configured to each form an image of a scene on a distinct group of the groups of pixel sensors; and a filter including plural color filter elements arranged in rows and columns. Each color filter element is associated with one of the lenses and the respective distinct group and configured to filter an image of the scene into one of plural color channels. A first group of pixel sensors can define a perspective of the scene for an image reconstruction, and the color filter elements in the row of the color filter element corresponding to the first group and the color filter elements in the column of the color filter element corresponding to the first group can filter the image of the scene into each of the plural color channels.
