An imaging unit, an extraction unit, a feature amount pair generation unit, and an imaging parameter adjustment unit are included. The imaging unit acquires images obtained by imaging each of N (N≥3) types of objects a plurality of times by setting a value of a specific imaging parameter, among a plurality of types of imaging parameters, as a certain candidate value and changing a value of the remaining imaging parameter. The extraction unit extracts a feature amount from each of the images. The feature amount pair generation unit generates, as a first feature amount pair for each of the N types of objects, a feature amount pair in which two feature amounts constituting the feature amount pair are extracted from images of objects of the same type, and generates, as a second feature amount pair for every combination of the N types of objects, a feature amount pair in which two feature amounts constituting the feature amount pair are extracted from a images of objects of the different types. The imaging parameter adjustment unit generates a first distribution that is a distribution of collation scores of the first feature amount pairs, generates a second distribution that is a distribution of collation scores of the second feature amount pairs, and on the basis of a degree of separation between the first distribution and the second distribution, determines the propriety of adopting the candidate value.

A light-emitting device includes: a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in an array on a base member; and a compound eye lens that comprises at least four Fresnel lenses disposed above the base member and facing the plurality of light-emitting elements. In a top plan view, a center of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements is offset from a lens center of the corresponding one of the Fresnel lenses of the compound eye lens in a direction toward a center of the compound eye lens. The plurality of light-emitting elements include at least two first light-emitting elements and at least two second light-emitting elements, wherein an emission color of the first light-emitting elements is different from an emission color of the second light-emitting elements.

The support apparatus includes mobile device support platform configured to support a laptop computer such that it's folded out display screen and camera can be positioned to face the user and an adaptor for the mobile device support platform for holding planar tablets, cell phones and the like in the same or similar user facing orientation.

Systems, devices, and methods for surgical illumination and imaging of ophthalmologic structures within a human eye are disclosed. In various embodiments, an emitter, imaging sensor, and a system control image processor are configured to irradiate ophthalmologic structures with near infrared light, detect near-infrared scatter from the irradiated ophthalmologic structures and visible light in real-time and generate or otherwise cause an image to be displayed on the user display that includes the detected near-infrared scatter from the irradiated ophthalmologic structures displayed in real-time. In one or more embodiments, the image is a virtual image of the irradiated ophthalmologic structures generated at least based on near-infrared light scattering coefficients of the irradiated ophthalmologic structures. In certain embodiments, the image displayed on the user display includes the detected near-infrared scatter from the irradiated ophthalmologic structures overlaid on a real-time view from a surgical microscope.

A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller acquiring image data from the vehicle and identifying a trailer within a specified area of the image data and then identifying a coupler of the trailer. The specified area is less than a total field of the image data. The controller then outputs a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler.

A retinal camera system comprises an eyepiece lens disposed within a housing, a retinal image sensor, and a visual guidance indicator. The retinal image sensor is adapted to acquire a retinal image of an eye through the eyepiece lens. The visual guidance indicator is disposed in or on the housing peripherally about the eyepiece lens. The visual guidance indicator is positioned and oriented relative to the eyepiece lens to emit a visual cue along an optical path that does not pass through the eyepiece lens. The visual cue is adapted to facilitate alignment of the eye to the eyepiece lens.
