Abstract
A system, a camera, and a method. The system may include a light device and a camera. The light device may be configured to emit light having a lighting frequency defined by on states and off states of the light device. The camera may be in view of the emitted light. The camera may have an image acquisition frequency configured to capture all images during the on states of the light device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one light device configured to emit light having a lighting frequency defined by on states and off states of the at least one light device;
- and
- a camera in view of the emitted light, the camera having an image acquisition frequency configured to capture all images during leading edges of the on states of the at least one light device.
A camera, comprising:
- an image sensor in view of emitted light from at least one light device, the emitted light having a lighting frequency defined by on states and off states of the at least one light device, the image sensor having an image acquisition frequency, the image sensor configured to capture images;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the image sensor, the processor configured to control the image sensor such that the image sensor captures all images during leading edges of the on states of the at least one light device.
A method, comprising:
- controlling, by a processor, an image sensor of a camera, the image sensor in view of emitted light from at least one light device, the emitted light having a lighting frequency defined by on states and off states of the at least one light device, the image sensor having an image acquisition frequency;
- and
- capturing, by the image sensor of the camera, all images during leading edges of the on states of the at least one light device.
