Image Capture Systems Utilizing Adjustable Illumination - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240080569 titled 'Image Capture Systems Utilizing Adjustable Illumination
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes devices, systems, and methods for controlling the illumination provided by a flash module by adjusting the brightness to a target region within the field of illumination.
- Flash module includes a flash controller that controls light emitters of an emitter array based on an illumination profile.
- The illumination profile is selected to reduce relative brightness to a target region within the field of illumination.
- The target region is associated with a portion of a target object identified in the field of illumination, such as a user's eye or a reflected image of a device.
- The technology aims to optimize the illumination provided by the flash module for specific target regions within the field of illumination.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Photography and camera systems
- Augmented reality devices
- Facial recognition technology
Problems Solved
- Overexposure of specific target regions in the field of illumination
- Inefficient use of flash module brightness
- Improving image quality in low-light conditions
Benefits
- Enhanced image quality
- Reduced glare and overexposure
- Improved user experience in photography and imaging applications
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Flash Module Illumination for Target Regions in Imaging Applications"

Original Abstract Submitted
various embodiments disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for spatially controlling illumination provided by a flash module. the flash module includes a flash controller that controls light emitters of an emitter array according to an illumination profile. the illumination profile is selected to reduce a relative brightness to a target region of the flash module's field of illumination. the target region is associated with a portion of a target object identified in the field of illumination. in some instances, the target region corresponds to a portion of a user's eye that is positioned within the field of illumination. in other instances, the flash module is incorporated into a device, and the target region corresponds to a reflected image of a portion of the device that is positioned within the field of illumination.
