HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING IN A LIGHT DEFICIENT ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054666 titled 'HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING IN A LIGHT DEFICIENT ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
- Endoscopic imaging system for use in a light deficient environment - Imaging device with tube, image sensors, and lens assembly - Display for user visualization of scene - Image signal processing controller - Light engine with illumination source - Lumen transmitting electromagnetic radiation to distal tip of endoscope
Potential Applications
- Medical procedures in low light environments - Industrial inspections in dark or confined spaces - Search and rescue operations in poorly lit areas
Problems Solved
- Lack of visibility in dark or light deficient environments - Difficulty in conducting procedures or inspections in low light conditions - Limited ability to capture clear images in poorly lit areas
Benefits
- Improved visibility and image quality in light deficient environments - Enhanced safety and efficiency in medical procedures and inspections - Increased success rates in search and rescue missions
Original Abstract Submitted
an endoscopic imaging system for use in a light deficient environment includes an imaging device having a tube, one or more image sensors, and a lens assembly including at least one optical elements that corresponds to the one or more image sensors. the endoscopic system includes a display for a user to visualize a scene and an image signal processing controller. the endoscopic system includes a light engine having an illumination source generating one or more pulses of electromagnetic radiation and a lumen transmitting one or more pulses of electromagnetic radiation to a distal tip of an endoscope.
