Described herein are methods and apparatuses to obtain an image, or a set of images, of a patient's teeth from one or more predetermined viewing angles. These methods and apparatuses may include the use an overlay comprising an outline of teeth for each predetermined viewing angle. The overlay may be used for automatically capturing, focusing and/or illuminating the teeth. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for using a series of images of the patient's teeth including a set of predetermined views to determine if a patient is a candidate for an orthopedic procedure.

An image-capturing device includes a sensor, a visible-light-pixel driver, and a non-visible-light-pixel driver. The sensor is configured to have a plurality of visible light pixels having sensitivity to visible light and a plurality of non-visible light pixels having sensitivity to non-visible light. The visible-light-pixel driver controls light exposure to the visible light pixels and a reading operation for charges generated by photoelectric conversion of the visible light pixels resulting from the light exposure. The non-visible-light-pixel driver performs the light exposure to previously-set every two or more non-visible light pixels at the time of the light exposure to the non-visible light pixels and the reading operation, sums the charges generated by the photoelectric conversion of the two or more non-visible light pixels resulting from the light exposure, and creates the distance image on the basis of the summed charges.

An image processing apparatus includes: a dividing processing circuit configured to divide an imaging signal that is obtained by capturing an image of inside of a subject into a first base component and a detail component, the first base component corresponding to an illumination component of an object, the detail component corresponding to a reflectance component of the object; a color enhancement processing circuit configured to generate a second base component by performing a color enhancement process on the first base component, the color enhancement process being a process of increasing color gradation of a mucosa color in a predetermined color space; and a synthesizing circuit configured to synthesize the second base component and the detail component to output a synthesized signal.

A method performed by a vision control system for supporting in low light conditions in surroundings of a moving vehicle, object detection by at least a first on-board rearward- and/or sideward-facing image capturing device. The vision control system captures a surrounding located rearward and/or sideward of the moving vehicle with support from the at least first image capturing device. The vision control system further determines light conditions in the surrounding. Moreover, the vision control system provides with support from at least a first light source, when the light conditions fulfill insufficient light criteria, a light output illuminating a ground region of the surrounding to facilitate object detection by the at least first image capturing device. The disclosure also relates to a vision control system, a vehicle comprising such a vision control system, and a respective corresponding computer readable storage medium.

An imaging system includes: a light source configured to emit illumination light; an imager configured to store an electric charge corresponding to an amount of received light and read out the stored electric charge as a signal value by using a rolling shutter method; a frequency detector configured to detect a vibrational frequency of a predetermined site of a subject; and an illumination controller configured to control emission of the illumination light during a readout period of the signal value. The illumination controller is configured to set a phase for an emission timing of the illumination light in an exposure period during which the imager stores the electric charge to be an identical phase at the frequency in each frame, and refer to respective phases set in exposure periods of chronologically adjacent frames to set an emission timing of the illumination light in the readout period.

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 series of smart phones are mounted in respective tripods to capture motion of a person wearing markers, such as marker balls or reflectors. The videos from the phones are stripped of objects other than the markers and the videos of the markers are combined to render a 3D motion capture structure that may be applied to an image of a VR icon to cause the VR icon to move as the person originally moved.
