Imaging apparatus for correlation calculation using different reference lights
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003839B2) discloses an imaging apparatus designed to capture high-quality images through a unique process involving the irradiation of objects with first and second reference lights. The apparatus includes an illumination apparatus, a photodetector, and a processing device that performs correlation calculations based on the reflected light measurements. The processing device generates reconstructed images of the object based on the correlation calculations, correcting for any discrepancies in detection intensities between the two reference lights. Additionally, the apparatus can utilize different wavelengths for the reference lights and includes detectors sensitive to specific wavelengths for accurate image reconstruction.
Furthermore, the patent also covers an imaging method that mirrors the functionality of the imaging apparatus, emphasizing the importance of measuring detection intensities accurately to generate final reconstructed images. The method involves irradiating objects with different reference lights, measuring reflected light intensities, and executing correlation calculations to reconstruct images. The final reconstructed image is generated based on the correlation calculations, ensuring precise and detailed imaging results. This innovative imaging technology has applications beyond standalone apparatus, as it can be integrated into automotive lamps and automobiles, showcasing its versatility and potential impact across various industries.
