  • Publication number: 20250146933
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of obtaining at least one item of object information on at least one object by spectroscopic measurement. The method includes the following steps: i. acquiring spectroscopic data by using at least one spectrometer device; ii. acquiring, by using at least one imaging device image data of a scene within a field of view of the imaging device, the scene including at least a part of the object and at least a part of the spatial measurement range of the spectrometer device; and iii. evaluating the spectroscopic data of step i. and at least one item of image information derived from the image data of step ii., for obtaining the at least one item of object information on the at least one object.

  • Publication number: 20240398331
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented method of optically determining an estimated age of a skin of a living being. The method includes: i. using at least one sample reflection spectrum of at least one portion of the skin of the living being over a spectral measurement range, the spectral measurement range including at least one portion of the wavelength range of from 1 ?m to 2.5 ?m; and ii. determining the estimated age of the skin of the living being by applying, to the sample reflection spectrum, at least one trained trainable model. The trainable model is trained on a training dataset including a plurality of labeled reference reflection spectra. Each of the reference reflection spectra is acquired over a spectral range at least partially overlapping with the spectral measurement range of the sample reflection spectrum of step i.

  • Publication number: 20230417657
    Abstract: Described herein is a spectral sensing device that includes at least one photosensitive detector, where the at least one photosensitive detector has at least one photosensitive region designated for receiving optical radiation, where at least one detector signal as generated by the at least one photosensitive detector is dependent on an illumination of the at least one photosensitive region; at least one radiation emitting element; at least one optical element; and at least one evaluation unit, where the at least one evaluation unit is configured to perform a calibration of the spectral sensing device by using at least one first detector signal as generated by the at least one photosensitive detector upon the illumination of the at least one photosensitive region by a first portion of the optical radiation. Also described herein is a method for measuring optical radiation with a spectral sensing device.

  • Patent number: 8174708
    Abstract: The invention relates to a carrier for a thin layer and a method for the analysis of molecular interactions on and/or in such a thin layer. A thin layer disposed on a carrier is illuminated with electromagnetic radiation from at least one radiation source and a reflected radiation part on boundary surfaces of the thin layer is detected by means of an optoelectronic converter that converts the detected radiation into a frequency- and intensity-dependant photocurrent. A reading voltage is applied to the optoelectronic converter. By changing the reading voltage, the spectral sensitivity of the optoelectronic converter is varied such that a substantially constant photocurrent is obtained. Alternatively or in addition to varying the spectral sensitivity by changing the reading voltage, the reflected radiation part is detected with an optoelectronic converter that is designed as a sensor layer in the carrier.
