Patent number: 10694091Abstract: The various embodiments herein relate to imaging devices and systems that capture an image of a target object and separately capture light from the light source illuminating the target object to compensate for inconsistent lighting of that object. Some systems have scene cameras to capture the images of the target objects and a separate light capturing camera to capture the light from the light source. Other embodiments relate to a single camera capturing an image of the target object while simultaneously capturing light from the light source.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLANDInventor: Steven Rees

Patent number: 10015459Abstract: An image capturing device with automatic white balance and an automatic white balance correction method are provided. The image capturing device includes a lens assembly, a light diffuser, an image sensor and a processor. The relative position of the light diffuser and the lens assembly is fixed. The processor is electrically connected to the image sensor having a first sensing region and a second sensing region. The light diffuser converts a fraction of the incident light to the reference light. The first sensing region converts the incident light to the display image information. The second sensing region converts the reference light to the correction information. The processor determines a reference gain average according to at least one color gain of the correction information and obtains at least one color gain correction value according to the reference gain average to adjust the white balance setting of the display image information.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: AVER INFORMATION INC.Inventors: Kuo-Hao Huang, Hao-Shuo Hsu, Chung-Yi Kao
