  • Publication number: 20220182527
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an end-to-end photography model for setting the light and exposure in a digital photography device with an external lighting system. The present disclosure is for a system and a method for automatically setting one or more image parameters for improved photography and image aesthetics. Specifically, the present invention is for automatically setting light and exposure which can be implemented on a personal electronic device with an integrated image capturing device having integrated and/or external illumination system. The embodiments described herein in general relate to a system and method for analyzing and controlling image parameters to set precise light and exposure for the electronic image capturing device, particularly for a personal electronic device, such as smartphone and tablet, with an integrated image capturing device.

  • Patent number: 10796161
    Abstract: A system comprises a digital camera to capture images of a horticultural area, a device processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the device processor to capture, using the digital camera, a first digital image of a horticultural area containing an insect trap, isolate a portion of the first digital image using the trap detection parameters, the portion of the first digital image corresponding to the insect trap, perform automated particle detection on the portion of the first digital image according to the insect detection parameters to identify regions of pixels in the portion of the first digital image that have the insect recognition color and that pass filter criteria, determine a cardinality of insects on the first object based on a number of identified regions of pixels, store the cardinality of insects in association with the first digital image and provide the cardinality of insects for display in a graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20150314136
    Abstract: A photo-medicine device may include a housing having: a mounting member and an application member including an aperture. An LED array having at least one LED configured to emit light through the aperture at a first wavelength and at least one LED configured to emit light through the aperture at a second wavelength may be mounted to the mounting member. The LED array may be in thermal communication with the mounting member such that the housing functions as a heat sink for the LED array. In some embodiments, the first wavelength comprises approximately 415 nm and the second wavelength comprises approximately 660 nm. In some embodiments, the housing has a heat dissipation surface area of at least three square inches per LED watt.
