IMAGE ACQUISITION APPARATUS, IMAGE ACQUISITION METHOD, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17746356 titled 'IMAGE ACQUISITION APPARATUS, IMAGE ACQUISITION METHOD, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image acquisition apparatus that uses a hyperspectral image sensor and a processor to process the obtained image. The processor extracts and normalizes the spectrum of each pixel, distinguishes objects from the background based on the spectrum pattern, and corrects the colors of the objects and background using the spatial distribution of illuminations.
- The image acquisition apparatus includes a hyperspectral image sensor and a processor.
- The hyperspectral image sensor captures a first image.
- The processor processes the first image obtained by the hyperspectral image sensor.
- The processor extracts the spectrum of each pixel in the first image.
- The spectrum of each pixel is normalized by the processor.
- The processor distinguishes objects from the background by recognizing the pattern of the spectrum of each pixel.
- The processor corrects the color of the objects and the background using the spatial distribution of illuminations.
Potential Applications
- Remote sensing: The apparatus can be used in satellite imaging or aerial photography to accurately identify objects and correct their colors.
- Medical imaging: The technology can be applied in medical imaging devices to enhance the detection and analysis of tissues or abnormalities.
- Agriculture: The apparatus can be used in precision agriculture to monitor crop health, identify diseases, and optimize fertilization.
Problems Solved
- Accurate object detection: The technology allows for precise differentiation between objects and the background by analyzing the spectrum of each pixel.
- Color correction: By using the spatial distribution of illuminations, the apparatus corrects the colors of objects and the background, resulting in more accurate and realistic images.
Benefits
- Improved image quality: The apparatus enhances image quality by extracting and normalizing the spectrum of each pixel, leading to more accurate object detection and color correction.
- Increased accuracy in object recognition: By analyzing the spectrum pattern of each pixel, the apparatus can distinguish objects from the background more accurately.
- Versatile applications: The technology can be applied in various fields such as remote sensing, medical imaging, and agriculture, providing benefits in different industries.
