Abstract: A camera system. The camera system includes a sensor array; an infrared (IR) illumination system configured to emit active IR light in an IR light sub-band; a spectral illumination system configured to emit active spectral light in a spectral light sub-band; one or more logic machines; and one or more storage machines. The storage machines hold instructions executable by the one or more logic machines to address the sensor array to acquire an ambient image; based on at least the ambient image, activate the IR illumination system and address the sensor array to acquire an actively-IR-illuminated depth image; and based on at least the actively-IR-illuminated depth image, activate the spectral illumination system and address the sensor array to acquire an actively-spectrally-illuminated spectral image.

Abstract: A camera system is configured to automatically monitor an area. Depth image(s) of the area are acquired based on active IR light emitted by the camera system and reflected from the area to a sensor array of the camera system. The depth image(s) are computer analyzed to identify a human subject. For each spectral illuminator of the camera system, spectral light image(s) of the area are acquired based on active spectral light in the spectral light sub-band of the spectral illuminator reflected from the area to the sensor array. The spectral light image(s) for the spectral illuminators are computer analyzed to identify an interaction between the human subject and an object in the area. In response to identifying the interaction between the human subject and the object in the area, an action to be performed for the object in the area is computer issued.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to methods and systems for determining if a fluid is present on a surface. In one example, a method comprises illuminating the surface with narrow-band light and using an image sensor comprising a narrow-bandpass filter matching the bandwidth of the narrow-band light to obtain a first image of the surface. A second image of the surface with the narrow-band light deactivated is obtained. A third image is generated by subtracting the second image from the first image. The third image is thresholded, one or more contrasting regions are detected, and the presence of fluid on the surface is determined.
