Apparatus, systems and methods for windows integration with cover glass and for processing cover glass to provide windows for electronic devices are disclosed. Transparent windows such as a transparent camera window, a transparent illuminator window and/or a transparent display window can be integrated into the cover glass. The apparatus, systems and methods are especially suitable for cover glasses, or displays (e.g., LCD displays), assembled in small form factor electronic devices such as handheld electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones, media players, personal digital assistants, remote controls, etc.). The apparatus, systems and methods can also be used for cover glasses or displays for other relatively larger form factor electronic devices (e.g., portable computers, tablet computers, displays, monitors, televisions, etc.).

An illumination device generally has at least one light source and an attachment assembly that connects the light source to a computing device. The light source may be one or more LEDs or a light panel using electroluminescent lighting. The illumination device includes a power source coupled to the light source and a light control mechanism to change at least one of an operative state or an intensity of the light source. The illumination device may also be integrally connected to the computing device. A light cover is implemented to cover the light source and diffuse light emanating therefrom.

The field of inspection assemblies and in particular to inspection assemblies that include light sources for illuminating a field of view of a camera including an elongate housing having a longitudinal axis, a camera mounted in the housing and arranged to capture an image of a region within a field of view external to the housing, a light source mounted in the housing and arranged to illuminate the field of view, and a window element mounted in the housing, the window element comprising a light transmitting material and being located such that light emitted by the light source passes through the window element before illuminating the field of view. The window element has an internal surface, closer to the light source, and an external surface, further from the light source, and the external surface comprises a concave region.

Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for achieving high-fidelity color reproduction in the absence of any known reflectance spectrums. That is, high-fidelity color reproduction can be achieved without portable references, such as gray cards and color checkers. To accomplish this, a new reference spectrumthe reference illuminant spectrumis introduced into scenes to be imaged by image sensors. The reference illuminant spectrum is created by a multi-channel light source whose spectral properties are known.

A light source device includes: a plurality of light emitting parts arranged in a matrix, each having an upper surface that includes a light emitting surface, each of the light emitting parts being configured to emit light from the light emitting surfaces and at least one of the light emitting parts being configured to be individually turned on, wherein: each of the light emitting parts includes: a light emitting element, a wavelength conversion member covering the upper surface of the light emitting element, and a light-reflective member covering lateral surfaces of the light emitting element wavelength conversion member, and the light-reflective members of the light-emitting parts are directly adjacent to each other; and an optical lens located above the light emitting surfaces of the light emitting parts, the optical lens including: a first surface including a plurality of incident regions, and a second surface including a plurality of emission regions.

Disclosed are a fill light device, a method for controlling a fill light device, and a computer readable storage medium. The fill light device includes a flash light; and a light guide, the light guide being located on a light-exiting side of the flash light and being configured to be controlled to change a shape and/or a light-transmitting area to change a light-exiting area and/or a light-emitting angle of the fill light device. The method includes obtaining a control parameter of the light guide; and changing a shape and/or a light-transmitting area of the light guide according to the control parameter to change a light-exiting area and/or a light-emitting angle of the fill light device.

The light source may be one or more LEDs or a light panel using electroluminescent lighting. The illumination device includes a power source coupled to the light source and a light control mechanism to change at least one of an operative state or an intensity of the light source.

Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for determining reflectance of an image on a per-pixel basis. More specifically, a characterization module can initially acquire a first data set generated by a multi-channel light source and a second data set generated by a multi-channel image sensor. The first data set may specify the illuminance of each color channel of the multi-channel light source (which is configured to produce a flash), while the second data set may specify the response of each sensor channel of the multi-channel image sensor (which is configured to capture an image in conjunction with the flash). Thus, the characterization module may determine reflectance based on illuminance and sensor response. The characterization module may also be configured to determine illuminance based on reflectance and sensor response, or determine sensor response based on illuminance and reflectance.

The mobile terminal provided by the present disclosure includes a terminal body and a control unit. The terminal body is provided with a flash lamp. A zoom lens is provided in an advancing direction of a light of the flash lamp. The control unit is configured to control the flash lamp to switch between a flash mode and a flashlight mode according to an input command. The zoom lens has a plurality of operating states and can converge the light of the flash lamp in at least one operating state. Thus, the mobile terminal can be used as a flash and as a flashlight having a relatively large irradiation distance and further as a flashlight with adjustable irradiation distance.

Introduced here are light sources for flash photography configured to produce high-fidelity white light that is tunable over a broader range of correlated color temperatures (CCTs) than conventional flash technologies. The light source can include multiple independently controllable color channels representing illuminants (e.g., light-emitting diodes) of different colors with varying degrees of saturation. Operating collectively, the multiple color channels can produce a high spectral quality white light corresponding to different CCTs (e.g., warm white light having a red hue, cool white light having a blue hue). Operating independently, these same color channels can be pre-flashed in a variety of prescribed sequences to probe the spectral characteristics of a scene, thereby allowing for an enhanced, spectrally matched white flash as well as collecting per-pixel reflectivity data that can be later used in during post processing of the captured image.
