IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18749356 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD
The imaging device described in the abstract consists of two light sources emitting light of different wavelengths, two detection units to capture reflected light, and an optical member to guide the reflected light to the respective detection units.
- First light source emits light of a first wavelength
- Second light source emits light of a second wavelength
- First detection unit captures reflected light of the first wavelength
- Second detection unit captures reflected light of the second wavelength
- Optical member guides reflected light to the detection units
Potential Applications: - Medical imaging - Industrial inspection - Security systems
Problems Solved: - Enhanced imaging capabilities - Improved detection of specific wavelengths
Benefits: - Higher accuracy in imaging - Better differentiation of materials based on wavelength
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Imaging Technology for Various Industries This technology can be used in medical imaging devices, quality control systems in manufacturing, and security scanners in airports.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this imaging device improve upon existing technologies?
This imaging device improves upon existing technologies by allowing for the detection of specific wavelengths of light, leading to more accurate imaging results.
2. What are the potential limitations of using multiple light sources in an imaging device?
The potential limitations of using multiple light sources include increased complexity in calibration and potential interference between the different wavelengths of light.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging device includes a first light source that emits first irradiation light that is light having a first wavelength, a second light source that emits second irradiation light that is light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, a first detection unit that detects first reflected light that is reflected light of the first irradiation light with which a target object is irradiated, a second detection unit that detects second reflected light that is reflected light of the second irradiation light with which the target object is irradiated, and an optical member that transmits part of the light reflected by the target object to guide the first reflected light to the first detection unit, and reflects part of the light reflected by the target object to guide the second reflected light to the second detection unit.
