A device includes a light-emitting device (LED) having at least two vertical light-emitting sides, and a ring-shaped light guide having a bottom side, a top side comprising a light-emitting surface, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall defining an indentation having at least two vertical in-coupling surfaces mated to the at least two vertical light-emitting sides of the LED.

A system for evenly-scattered adaptable subject lighting for mobile device photography, comprising a case configured to enclose and securely fasten a mobile device and an illuminating portion, the illuminating portion configured to produce light based on input received from a plurality of sensors. The system further comprising a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a network-connected computing device, and configured to direct the operation of the illuminating portion comprising at least a sensor processor and an image capture device, wherein the sensor processor adjusts the illuminating portion based on preconfigured thresholds to provide evenly-scatter lighting for capturing images of subjects via the image capture device.

A method for parameterizing a machine-vision device. The method incudes the e following successive steps: a) selecting, depending on the zone of interest, a slaved lighting configuration, and recording the slaved lighting configuration in the control interface and/or applying the slaved lighting configuration; b) independently of step a), selecting an origin lighting configuration, and applying the origin lighting configuration; c) establishing an informational relationship between said origin and slaved lighting configurations and recording said relationship in the control interface so that the electronic unit commands the zone of interest to be lit in the slaved lighting configuration in response to an origin lighting configuration.

A ring-shaped light includes a ring-shaped frame, the ring-shaped frame having a void portion in the middle of the ring-shaped frame, such that when the ring-shaped frame is located on a mirror, a face of a user looking into the mirror through the void is viewable to the user. The ring-shaped light further includes a plurality of light sources mounted around the ring-shaped frame in a circular fashion. The ring-shaped light further includes a bridge, the bridge located in a bottom section of the void, the bridge including a slot for receiving a smartphone. The ring-shaped light further includes a sensor for activating the plurality of light sources. The ring-shaped light further includes a mounting system integrated with the frame, the mounting system including a plurality of discs, mountable via adhesive to the mirror, and a plurality of recesses each interfacing with the plurality of discs, the plurality of discs being made of magnetic material and each of the plurality of recesses including a magnet to hold the plurality of discs, the plurality recesses sized and shaped in a complementary fashion to the plurality of discs.

A sealed dome light assembly for an inspection system includes a substantially dome-shaped upper housing, an annular lower housing, a plurality of light sources, and an annular cover. The upper housing includes an annular lower flange and an aperture through an apex of the upper housing. The lower housing includes a plurality of spaced light seats disposed within the lower housing. Each of the plurality of light sources is mounted within a respective one of the plurality of light seats and recessed below an upper surface of the lower housing. The cover covers the lower housing, and the cover and the lower housing define a sealed interface therebetween to provide a water-tight sealed enclosure to protect the light sources disposed within the lower housing.

A photo terminal stand system is provided having a case, a one-way mirror, a computer display for presenting a graphical presentation seen through the one-way mirror, a camera, a touch overlay frame, a computer, configured to receive touch input from the touch overlay frame and responsively to activate the camera to record an image or a video sequence, a camera flash, and at least one of a reflector, a wheel bumper brake, and a service step ladder.

A control apparatus includes a controller configured to switch a simultaneous light emission mode that causes all of the at least three light source units to emit lights and a sequential light emission mode that causes the at least three light source units to sequentially emit the lights in association with imaging. The controller causes the at least three light source units to sequentially emit the lights in synchronization with each of at least three imaging signals transmitted from the imaging apparatus in the sequential light emission mode. The controller is configured to switch between the simultaneous light emission mode and the sequential light emission mode based on information from a selector provided in at least one of the imaging apparatus and the accessory and configured to select the simultaneous light emission mode and the sequential light emission mode.

A photography system provides a photography station which can be conveniently set up and provides consistent quality of photographs regardless of ambient conditions. The system includes a digital camera, a ring flash, and a tent providing a subject space for arranging the subject during photography. The tent is configured to surround the subject to at least partially isolate the subject from the surroundings. The system further includes a background unit arranged within the tent to allow for subsequent background replacement processing.

A camera is provided having an image sensor for generating image data from received light from a detection zone; having a lighting unit having at least one light source for illuminating the detection zone with transmitted light; and having a polarization filter that polarizes the transmitted light and the received light. The polarization filter is configured as an additional module subsequently replaceable from the outside.

An audiovisual-capturing system for a lighted mirror is used to illuminate a user's face and aid in capturing images or video of the user through a one-way mirror. The system includes a support structure, a one-way mirror, and a plurality of lights. The support structure includes a bordering frame which attached around the one-way mirror. The plurality of lights is connected to the bordering frame and is distributed about the bordering frame. The plurality of lights is used to illuminate the user's face. The support structure also includes a device stand which is used to support an audiovisual-capturing device. The one-way mirror is positioned in between the device stand and the plurality of lights. This allows the audiovisual-capturing device to capture images or record video through the one-way mirror, while the user is able to see their reflection through the one-way mirror.
