  • Patent number: 11588979
    Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing measurements of images of an object to be measured using a mobile electronic device are disclosed. A method may include capturing a measurement image of a measured object within an observation region of a camera of the device, displaying a light-emitted image on a screen of the device, causing the screen to successively display multiple illumination images of a predefined illumination image sequence, and causing the screen of the device to display one or more of the illumination images of the predefined illumination images. The predefined illumination image sequence is set via a user interface of the device and a selection between different predefined illumination image sequences is rendered using the user interface. A control unit is configured to select a predefined illumination image sequence between several stored predefined illumination image sequences in dependence on a selection of the measured object of interest and/or a characteristic of interest.
