A multi-function camera system, applied to a forklift truck, includes a camera device and a display device installed on the forklift truck, and an image processing unit coupled between the camera device and the display device, capable of shooting and displaying a corresponding real image in order to assist operations of the forklift truck. In addition, the camera device is equipped with a fill light module capable of providing multiple light colors, and the image processing unit includes an identification module capable of identifying the optical identification code. Accordingly, the camera system with multiple functions of monitoring, fill light, identification and positioning etc. is achieved.

A camera wing system to a vehicle comprising such camera wing system and a method to operate such a camera wing system comprising at least one camera to record a scenery in a field of view of the camera and an illuminating system to emit light to illuminate the field of view of the camera, the camera being sensitive to the light emitted by the illumination system, wherein the illuminating system provides light to the scenery in one or more emission cones (EC), where the one or more emission cones are adaptable in emission direction (ED1, ED2) and/or cone angle (CA) depending on the driving situation (DS) of the vehicle in order to illuminate the scenery in the field of view being of interest for a driver due to the detected driving situation.

An image pickup apparatus which is able to obtain images with high sharpness by improving circulation of air in the image pickup apparatus to prevent formation of condensation and frost on a cover, which protects a lens unit, while ensuring imperviousness to light. An illumination unit provided around a lens unit emits illumination light toward a subject through the cover placed on a subject side of the lens unit. An annular light-shielding member between the lens unit and the cover prevents the illumination light from reflecting on the cover to enter the lens unit and shields reflected light of the illumination light. The light-shielding member has a circulation path that enables circulation of air between a space on the subject side of the lens unit and on an inner peripheral side of the light-shielding member and a space on an outer peripheral side of the light-shielding member.

The technology provides a camera module cover that prevents infrared light from leaking into the lens of an adjacent camera. The camera module cover can be used with in-vehicle environments, such as the passenger area and truck, as well as other indoor locations and places where infrared illumination is co-located with an optical camera system. An infrared illuminator unit is positioned adjacent to the camera, for instance in such a way that infrared light is evenly distributed or diffused around the camera lens. The camera module cover has a surface that includes an infrared-transparent material to promote even distribution of the infrared light. To avoid leakage into the camera lens, an infrared-opaque or otherwise blocking material is disposed within the cover so as to be between the infrared illuminator unit and the camera lens. The infrared-transparent and infrared-blocking materials may be formed as a single part via double injection molding.

A tripod (1) for supporting a video camera is disclosed. The tripod (1) comprises a head element (4) and a plurality of supporting legs (2), whereby each said leg (2) is attached at one end to said head (4). The tripod comprises an illumination means (6), the illumination means (6) being arranged to illuminate a space beneath said head element (4).

An aerial imaging system and method of aerially capturing an image including a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a second UAV. The first UAV includes a camera and may be configured to receive input from an operator. The second UAV may be configured to dock with and deploy from the first UAV. The second UAV includes a light configured to provide remote illumination for the camera. The light on the second UAV may be activated to illuminate a target of photography by the camera while the second UAV is flown separate from the first UAV.

A composition for detecting biofilm on an eyelid margin includes a dye that binds to the biofilm and a solution that is biocompatible with the eye. A method for detecting biofilm on an eyelid margin of an eye includes applying a solution to the eye or the eyelid margin so that a dye in the solution binds to the biofilm. A handheld camera for detecting biofilm on an eyelid margin of an eye includes a housing, an image sensor, and a lens including a focal length determined by a distance between the lens and the eyelid margin. A method for detecting biofilm on an eyelid margin includes capturing an image of the eyelid margin using a handheld camera and determining if the biofilm is present on the eyelid margin. A system for detecting biofilm on an eyelid margin of an eye includes a composition and a handheld camera.
