METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE LIGHTING
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide adjustable lighting devices for use in photography lighting systems. In one embodiment, an adjustable lighting device comprises at least two panel sections and a light element. The at least two panel sections are each configured to act as a light reflector or flag, and are rotatably coupled to each other such that each panel section is freely rotatable relative to its one or more adjacent panel sections. The light element is coupled to one side of a first panel section of the panel sections, and configured to direct light substantially in a direction away from the one side of the first panel section.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIMULATING ANIMATION OF AN OBJECT
Systems and methods for simulating animation of an object are provided. Such systems and methods include capturing a first sequence of images of the object with a camera while in an activated lighting apparatus, importing the first sequence of images into a first stage video file having a preconfigured size and masked off such that the first surface appears over a first background, and incorporating the first stage video file into a template of a three-dimensional (3D) model by aligning the first surface with a video mask of the template such that the video mask obscures the first background of the first stage video file and superimposes a location of the first surface in the first stage video file onto a virtual surface of the 3D model.
360-degree camera device having atmosphere lamp
A 360-degree camera device having atmosphere lamp includes a supporting platform, a supporting spindle, a supporting base, and a rotating shooting bracket. The supporting platform includes a first supporting element, a tempered glass, a first light source, and a reflecting mirror. The first supporting element is configured to support the tempered glass. The tempered glass is a single-sided perspective glass including a light-transmitting surface and a reflecting surface. An interval area is disposed between the tempered glass and the reflecting mirror. The reflecting mirror and the reflecting surface are oppositely disposed. The first light source is disposed in the interval area. The first light source is in a shape of graphics and/or characters. The first light source includes a plurality of point-shaped light-emitting parts. The first light source is substantially disposed in an annular shape and disposed along edge contour of the tempered glass or the reflective mirror.

System and methodology for the high-fidelity display of artwork images
A system for the high-fidelity display of artwork images simulates lighting conditions (such as by, for example, varying the colour temperature, intensity, and/or lighting direction) and, for each lighting condition, compares an image of an artwork against an image of a digital display thereof. The system calculates an image adjustment (such as, for example, brightness/contrast, levels, tonal curves, exposure, vibrance, hue/saturation and/or colour balance) to minimise perceived visual differences between the original artwork and the image of a digital display thereof under the same environmental lighting conditions. As such, when displayed at a display location, the artwork image may be adjusted using the calculated image adjustment according to the actual lighting conditions at the display location.
MICRO SCALE IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM
According to various embodiments of the present invention, an optical capture system is provided. In one embodiment, a micro-scale optical capturing system is provided with low divergence (approximately 1°) of the incident light and low acceptance angle (<8°) of the captured light. According to embodiments, a micro-scale optical capturing system is provided with a large number of collimated high-power white LEDs as light sources, between 60 and 100 units, for example, and may be positioned at distances of about 650 mm from the sample. In one embodiment, a digital camera using 50 mm focal objective with a 25 mm length extension tube captures images of the sample. This provides a working distance of approximately 100 mm and at the same time maintains ×0.5 magnification for microscale captures, with an image size of 4×4 microns per pixel.
System and method for photography
The present invention is directed to a system for photography comprising a light sensor configured to detect a flash from a strobe light and in response produce a sensor signal; a control unit operably coupled to a camera and a photography platform, the control unit configured to send a command to the camera for triggering the camera and the strobe light, capture a time at which the command is sent, receive the sensor signal from the light sensor, the sensor signal indicative of the flashing of the light source, determine a calibration value based on the difference between the time at which the sensor signal is received by the control unit and the time at which the command is sent to the camera by the control unit, and calibrate itself based on the calibration value.

Oral imaging device
An oral imaging device includes a base, a camera module, and a plurality of light source modules. The base includes a camera component, an opening surface, and a plurality of light source components connected to two sides of the camera component. A slant angle exists between each light source component and the camera component. The slant angle is a non-right angle. The opening surface is substantially parallel to the camera component. The camera module is located on the camera component and faces the opening surface. The plurality of light source modules each are located on each light source component and configured to project a light beam onto the opening surface. A center ray of the light beam passes through a center point of the opening surface.
