A biometric capture device is operative to adjust one or more environmental parameters to enhance a range (e.g., distance) at which a biometric may be captured from a subject. For example, a sample biometric capture device may be, include, or otherwise incorporate a retinal or iris scanner configured to capture an image of the retina or iris (e.g., a biometric) when the retina or iris is illuminated by infrared light. Generally, the amount of infrared light required to accurately image the retina or iris increases with the distance of the subject's retina or iris from the image capture device. The biometric capture device may capture a facial image using a first image sensor, identify a face in the facial image, capture an iris image using a second image sensor guided by the facial image, and identify a person using the iris image.

A method and verification system for verifying pharmaceuticals packaged within a pouch using a pharmacy packaging system. The method includes activating a first light source to illuminate the pharmaceutical pouch, capturing a first image of the pharmaceutical pouch while illuminated by the first light source, activating a second light source to illuminate the pharmaceutical pouch, and capturing a second image of the pharmaceutical pouch while illuminated by the second light source. The method further includes generating a third image based on the first image and the second image, generating a dashboard to simultaneously display first images, second images, and third images from a plurality of pharmaceutical pouches, providing a number of pills indication of a number of pills detected in the pouch against a number of pills expected in the pouch, and displaying the dashboard.

A surgery system includes a contactless control panel, an infrared camera, a computer and a display. The contactless control panel includes control areas which are arranged in a predetermined pattern and are coated with infrared reflective material to reflect infrared radiation. The infrared camera captures an infrared image of the control areas. The computer performs image recognition on the infrared image, determines, based on the predetermined pattern stored in advance and a result of the image recognition, which one of the control areas is masked, and generates a device control signal based on a function corresponding to the one of the control areas that is determined to be masked. The display device displays images based on the device control signal.

Systems and methods include an infrared camera configured to capture an infrared image of a scene, a visible-light camera configured to capture a visible-light image of the scene, and a logic device configured to simultaneously capture a pair of images of the scene comprising the infrared image of the scene and the visible image of the scene, align the pair of images so that a pixel location in one of the pair of images has a corresponding pixel location in the other image, classify the visible image, annotate the infrared image based, at least in part, on the classification of the visible image, and add the annotated infrared image to a neural network training dataset for use in training a neural network for infrared image classification. A beamsplitter is arranged to reflect a first image of the scene towards the infrared camera and pass through a second image of the scene to the visible-light camera, and a first blackbody is attached thereto and positioned in a field of view of the infrared camera.

The present disclosure provides a three-dimensional distance measurement method and device. A three-dimensional distance measurement device includes: at least a light source unit, configured to emit light pulses to illuminate a scene to be measured; at least an optical transmission unit, configured to control transmission of a reflected light obtained after the light pulses are reflected by an object in the scene to be measured; at least a photoreceptor unit, configured to receive a light transmitted through the optical transmission unit to perform imaging; and at least a processor unit, configured to control the light source unit, the optical transmission unit and the photoreceptor unit, and to determine scene distance information of the scene to be measured based on an imaging result of the photoreceptor unit.

Optical biopsy staining panels for in vivo or in situ fluorescent staining of optical tissue (or other appropriate tissue), e.g., for the purpose of a direct biopsy such as an optical biopsy. The stain panels may feature a combination of a nuclear stain and a cytoplasmic stain, as a means of functioning as an invivo or in situ hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain. Examples of said stains may include anthracyclines such as Daunomcibin, acriflavines like Proflavine, anthracenediones such as Mitoxantrone, phenothiazines like Methylene Blue, and tri- and tetra-heterocyclic dyes like Fluorescein, Phloxine B, Phenol Red, Rose Bengal, Congo Red, and Indigo Carmine.
