Abstract
A user-wearable examination/visualization/collection system with light enhancement comprising a carrier suitable for the retention of a lighting assembly and a viewing and collection system is presented wherein images or video of objects may be collected under natural (i.e., white) light and/or colored light (e.g., IR) conditions, processed and presented to a user on a local display. Further disclosed are lighting assemblies that provide for the light necessary to collect images different lighting conditions and optical filtering that allows for a limitation of the light viewable and collected.
Claims24
An examination/visualization system comprising:
- an eyewear comprising:
- a first lens;
- and
- a second lens, joined by a bridge element;
- a first visualization system associated with said first lens;
- and
- a second visualization system associated with said second lens, each of said first visualization system and said second visualization system comprising:
- a viewing/collection system comprising:
- a first magnification device configured to:
- magnify an image of an object by a known level of magnification along a first optical axis, said first magnification device comprising:
- an objective lens positioned at a distal end of said first magnification device;
- and
- an eye-lens positioned at a proximal end of said first magnification device, said objective lens and said eye-lens, being separated by a known distance, forming said first optical axis, wherein at least said known distance determines said known level of magnification;
- an image capture assembly, incorporated substantially orthogonal to said first magnification device, said image capture assembly configured to:
- capture an image of said object, said image capture assembly comprising:
- a second eye-lens;
- and
- an image capture device, said second eye-lens and said image capture device forming a second optical axis, wherein said image of said object viewed through said second eye-lens is projected onto said image capture device;
- a beam splitter positioned, within the first magnification device, between said objective lens and said eye-lens, said beam splitter configured to:
- transmit a first portion of light associated with said object entering said objective lens through the beam splitter along said first optical axis to said eye-lens, wherein a first magnified image of the object is viewable by a user;
- and
- reflect a remainder of the light associated with the object entering the objective lens, along said second axis to said second eye-lens, wherein a second magnified image of the object is presented to the image capture device, the first magnified image and the second magnified image being separately generated;
- and
- a display system comprising:
- a display screen configured to:
- display information, wherein said display information comprises at least one of:
- said captured image of said object and biometric data;
- and
- a collimating lens, wherein said display screen is positioned at a focal length of said collimating lens;
- and
- an electronic assembly, in electrical communication with said image capture system and said display system, said electronic assembly configured to:
- provide at least one of:
- power and said information to said image capture system and said display system.
