  • Patent number: 11540651
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a rotatable platform riser system used for capturing imagery of objects from one angle or multiple angles with a seamless pure white background without reflections or shadows. The rotatable platform riser system comprises a turntable platform; a rotatory drive mechanism operably coupled to the turntable platform for rotating the turntable platform along its vertical axis; a riser comprising a substantially round open top and a substantially round bottom, an upright wall extending from the bottom to the top defining volume of the riser, the riser mounted or resting on the turntable platform at the bottom; and a riser platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, the riser platform having a diameter same or larger than the diameter of the top of the riser, the riser platform mounted or resting over the top of the riser.

  • Patent number: 11172114
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for photography comprising a light sensor configured to detect a flash from a strobe light and in response produce a sensor signal; a control unit operably coupled to a camera and a photography platform, the control unit configured to send a command to the camera for triggering the camera and the strobe light, capture a time at which the command is sent, receive the sensor signal from the light sensor, the sensor signal indicative of the flashing of the light source, determine a calibration value based on the difference between the time at which the sensor signal is received by the control unit and the time at which the command is sent to the camera by the control unit, and calibrate itself based on the calibration value.
