The present invention relates to an information processing device used in an image capture device that illuminates an object with an illuminating unit and images light reflected from the object as a reflection image with an imaging unit. The information processing device includes an irradiation angle determining unit configured to determine an irradiation angle when the illuminating unit illuminates the object based on a tilt statistic that is a value corresponding to tilt distribution of irregularities formed on the surface of the object.

A method of manufacturing an electronic module includes providing a base substrate having a first surface, providing a first supporting element having a first portion with an inclined top surface, and affixing the first supporting element to the first surface such that the inclined top surface is inclined with respect to the base substrate. A first reflector is coupled to the inclined top surface such that a rear surface of the first reflector is in physical contact with the inclined top surface of the first portion of the first supporting element, and a spacer structure is configured to form an interface for mounting lateral walls to the base substrate. A cap is positioned over and supported by the lateral walls to thereby define a chamber. The emitter, as well as a detector, are coupled to the first surface of the base substrate.

An inspection apparatus includes a specimen stage, one or more imaging devices and a set of lights, all controllable by a control system. By translating or rotating the one or more imaging devices or specimen stage, the inspection apparatus can capture a first image of the specimen that includes a first imaging artifact to a first side of a reference point and then capture a second image of the specimen that includes a second imaging artifact to a second side of the reference point. The first and second imaging artifacts can be cropped from the first image and the second image respectively, and the first image and the second image can be digitally stitched together to generate a composite image of the specimen that lacks the first and second imaging artifacts.

In a method for suppression of reflections in at least one camera image of a camera of a motor vehicle, the camera generates the at least one camera image and thereby a polarization filter device dampens light incident from a surrounding field in regard to a predetermined polarization direction. An estimator device estimates a respective orientation of a respective surface normal of at least one surface on at least one environment object and an adjusting device determines a respective target polarization direction for the polarization filter device in dependence on the respective estimated orientation of the at least one surface normal, by which a respective representation of reflections at the respective surface is reduced in the at least one camera image, and generates a control signal according to the respectively determined target polarization direction, and the polarization filter device adjusts its polarization direction in dependence on the control signal.
