  • Publication number: 20230216658
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and devices for generating digital and/or cryptographic assets. An initial state of an environment is acquired using sensors that includes a state of each sensor, a region of interest including a 3D body, and a state of light sources. The asset is associated with the 3D body. A plurality of boundary conditions associated with a workflow for capturing the asset is determined. A visualization of a set of boundary conditions is displayed on a display that includes a plurality of visual cues including first and second visual cues. Each respective visual cue provides a visual indication of a state of a corresponding boundary condition in the set of boundary conditions. At least one visual cue is updated when each boundary condition in the set of boundary conditions is satisfied. When satisfied, the workflow at the computer-enabled imaging device is executed, thereby capturing the asset.

  • Publication number: 20220088251
    Abstract: Provided are mobile imaging devices and methods thereof. A mobile imaging device includes a plurality of light source sets, sensors, and a controller. At least one program is non-transiently stored in and executable by the controller. The program causes the controller to perform a method including acquiring a corresponding value for each condition in a first plurality of conditions when the device is at a first position using the sensors to collect a plurality of measurements associated with a region of interest that is not exposed to the plurality of light source sets. The method includes firing with the device held at the first position, if the corresponding value satisfies a corresponding condition specification for a respective condition in the first plurality of conditions, the plurality of light source sets based on a second plurality of conditions. Accordingly, light emits that is substantially limited to a spectral range.

  • Patent number: 10893182
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for imaging with compensation functions. An imaging device comprises a plurality of light source sets, of which two or more light source sets emit light of a same specific spectral range to compensate intensity differences among different spectral ranges. The imaging device can be integrated with a mobile device. A method comprises a subtraction procedure to compensate ambient light effect, a normalization procedure to compensate incidence angle effect, a 3D reconstruction procedure to compensate distance effect, or any combination of these procedures. The method is performed at an imaging device comprising a controller. At least one program is non-transiently stored in the controller and executable by the controller.

  • Patent number: 10554909
    Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging using a plurality of light sources is provided. An imaging device comprises a housing, a lens within the housing, a plurality of light source sets attached or integrated into the housing, a two-dimensional pixelated detector within the housing in optical communication with the lens, memory and a controller. Each respective light source set comprises a plurality of lights uniformly radially distributed about the lens. A first light source set in the plurality sets emits light substantially limited to a first spectral range. A second light source set in the plurality of sets emits light substantially limited to a second spectral range other than the first range. At least one program non-transiently stored in the memory and executable by the controller sequentially and independently fired each light source set while collecting light using the pixelated detector. An imaging device can be integrated with a mobile device.
