Abstract
An electronic device comprising circuity configured to capture an image of a pattern of light emitting photoluminescence particles embedded in an object, and reconstruct the shape of the object based on the captured image of the pattern of light emitting photoluminescence particles embedded in the object.
Claims23
An electronic device comprising:
- a detector to be positioned in a center of an object having light emitting photoluminescence particles embedded therein, the light emitting photoluminescence particles being arranged in a discrete pattern, the detector having a 360° field of view, the detector including
- at least two light sources to illuminate the light emitting photoluminescence particles;
- at least two sensors arranged inside the object, wherein an image of the discrete pattern of light emitting photoluminescence particles embedded in the object is captured with at least two sensors, wherein the at least two light sources and the at least two sensors are alternately arranged in the detector to output light to and receive light from the light emitting photoluminescence particles in the object;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- capture the image of the discrete pattern of light emitting photoluminescence particles embedded in the object, and
- reconstruct the shape of the object based on the captured image of the discrete pattern of light emitting photoluminescence particles embedded in the object.
