A camera unit is housed and attached in an internal space of a pillar, the camera unit including a plurality of modules that executes respective functions regarding camera imaging, and a housing having a dimension in such a manner that an outer shape of the housing around a longitudinal direction of the housing is accommodated in the internal space, the modules being mounted on the housing without protruding from the outer shape.

The present embodiment relates to a light-emitting module comprising: a substrate; a light source which is arranged on the substrate and emits laser light; a holder arranged on the substrate; a diffuser lens arranged in the holder and over the light source; and a diffuser ring for supporting the diffuser lens, wherein the diffuser lens comprises a plurality of microlenses, and the holder comprises an opening formed above the diffuser lens and a stopping protrusion for inhibiting the diffuser lens from being separated through the opening.

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.

A method and apparatus of aligning a lens module with respect to an image sensor device for a capsule camera are disclosed. The image sensor device comprises multiple pixel arrays and the lens module comprises multiple lens sets to form multiple images corresponding to multiple fields of view associated with the multiple lens sets, and each lens set forms one image for one corresponding pixel array associated with one field of view. A method according to the present invention present invention, one or more test images are presented in the multiple fields of view associated with the lens module. Multiple images in the multiple fields of view are captured using the multiple pixel arrays. Metric measurement is derived based on the multiple images captured by the multiple pixel arrays. Lens alignment between the lens module and the image sensor device is then adjusted based on the metric measurement.

A case for portable electronic devices including smartphones includes a feature to prevent glare from a flash from affecting images and video captured by a camera lens and also a battery to extend battery life of the electronic device. Smartphones have telephony, Internet connectivity, and camera and video features. Photos and video can be uploaded through the Internet or sent to other phones. The case has a hole for a camera flash of the smartphone to pass through. The edging of the hole is colored black or another dark color to prevent glare from appearing in the photos or video taken by the smartphone when using the camera flash.
