Abstract
Provided is an image acquiring device for easily acquiring a hyper spectral image in a small device and enhancing wavelength resolution, the device which includes a light source portion and a sensor portion. The light source portion includes an emitter portion having a plurality of groups of emitters configured to emit light of different wavelengths, a circuit portion dividing the emitter portion into a plurality of segments and configured to control the plurality of segments independently, and a driver portion configured to control the circuit part so that the plurality of segments are driven at different strengths or at different times.
Claims13
An image acquiring device comprising:
- a light source portion;
- and
- a sensor portion,
- wherein the light source portion comprises:
- an emitter portion having a plurality of groups of emitters configured to emit light of different wavelengths, wherein each of the plurality of groups corresponds to a respective wavelength of the different wavelengths;
- a circuit portion configured to independently control a plurality of segments into which the emitter portion is divided;
- and
- a driver portion configured to control the circuit portion so that the plurality of segments are driven at different strengths or at different times,
- wherein each of the plurality of segments has a plurality of emitters arranged in a same pattern,
- wherein the sensor portion is divided into regions to form a unit pixel that corresponds to a minimum unit for receiving light of a plurality of wavelengths, the unit pixel includes a plurality of pixels, and a wavelength pattern of the pixels in the unit pixel corresponds to a wavelength pattern of emitters provided in each of the plurality of segments, and
- wherein pixels corresponding to wavelengths adjacent to each other in measurement are provided spatially adjacent to each other in the unit pixel.
