Publication number: 20170160131Abstract: A hand held spectrometer is used to illuminate the object and measure the one or more spectra. The spectral data of the object can be used to determine one or more attributes of the object. In many embodiments, the spectrometer is coupled to a database of spectral information that can be used to determine the attributes of the object. The spectrometer system may comprise a hand held communication device coupled to a spectrometer, in which the user can input and receive data related to the measured object with the hand held communication device. The embodiments disclosed herein allow many users to share object data with many people, in order to provide many people with actionable intelligence in response to spectral data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2016Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Damian Goldring, Dror Sharon, Guy Brodetzki, Amit Ruf, Menahem Kaplan, Sagee Rosen, Omer Keilaf, Uri Kinrot, Kai Engelhardt, Ittai Nir, Nitzan Waisberg, Dana Cohen Bar-On

Patent number: 9574942Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2016Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: VERIFOOD, LTDInventors: Damian Goldring, Dror Sharon, Guy Brodetzki, Amit Ruf, Menahem Kaplan, Sagee Rosen, Omer Keilaf, Uri Kinrot, Kai Engelhardt, Ittai Nir

Publication number: 20170010160Abstract: An improved compact spectrometer system comprising an improved spatially variable filter is disclosed herein. A spatially variable filter may be configured to have a plurality of different transmission profiles at different locations of the filter, to spectrally separate light incident on the filter. The spatially variable filter may comprise a plurality of different filter regions having different transmission profiles, and a plurality of similar filter regions comprising similar transmission profiles. The spatially variable filter may be optically coupled to a detector comprising a plurality of detector elements configured to measure the intensity of light. The measurement data generated by the plurality of detector elements coupled to the plurality of similar filter regions can be used to determine a spatial variation on incident light intensity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2016Publication date: January 12, 2017Inventors: Sagee ROSEN, Uri KINROT

Patent number: 8711245Abstract: Techniques for detecting and addressing image flicker are disclosed. An imaging device that senses a distorted image and subsequently removes the distortion during processing can utilize an analysis module that obtains statistics indicative of image flicker prior to removing the distortion. An imaging device that features a diode for illuminating a field of view can utilize the diode as a photosensor to determine one or more flicker statistics to determine whether ambient lighting conditions are of the type that cause image flicker.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: DigitalOptics Corporation Europe Ltd.Inventors: Uri Kinrot, Oded Gigushinski, Shahar Kovelsky, Noy Cohen
