ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND ITS CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137655 titled 'ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND ITS CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an illumination apparatus that is connected to an image pickup apparatus and emits light under custom light emitting conditions set by the user.

  • The illumination apparatus is connected to an image pickup apparatus.
  • It emits illumination light and controls the light emission under custom light emitting conditions.
  • The custom light emitting conditions are read from memory corresponding to a custom imaging condition set by the user in the image pickup apparatus.

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in photography, videography, medical imaging, and industrial inspection where custom lighting conditions are required for optimal image capture.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of limited control over lighting conditions in image capture scenarios, allowing users to set custom conditions for better results.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, flexibility in adjusting lighting conditions, and enhanced control over the image capture process.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include camera systems, medical imaging devices, industrial inspection equipment, and any other devices that require precise control over lighting conditions for image capture.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of external lighting systems in photography to control lighting conditions for image capture. Another could be the use of custom lighting setups in medical imaging for specific diagnostic purposes.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle different types of light sources for custom light emitting conditions?

The abstract does not specify how the illumination apparatus adjusts to different types of light sources or if it is limited to a specific range of light sources.

What is the memory capacity for storing custom light emitting conditions?

The abstract does not mention the memory capacity for storing custom light emitting conditions or if there is a limit to the number of conditions that can be saved.


Original Abstract Submitted

an illumination apparatus is communicatively connected to an image pickup apparatus and configured to emit illumination light. the illumination apparatus performs light emission control of the illumination light under the custom light emitting condition by reading the custom light emitting condition corresponding to a custom imaging condition from the memory in a case where imaging under the custom imaging condition set by the user is selected in the image pickup apparatus.
