Abstract
The disclosure extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for producing an image in light deficient environments and associated structures, methods and features. The features of the systems and methods described herein may include providing improved resolution and color reproduction.
Claims21
A digital imaging method for use with an endo scope in ambient light deficient environments comprising:
- actuating an emitter to emit a pulse of a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to cause illumination within the light deficient environment;
- wherein said pulse is within a first wavelength range that comprises a first portion of electromagnetic spectrum;
- pulsing said emitter at a predetermined interval;
- sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation from said pulse with a pixel array;
- wherein said pixel array is actuated at a sensing interval that corresponds to the pulse interval of said emitter;
- detecting motion of objects being imaged;
- increasing resolution for the pixel array by compensating for the detected motion;
- and
- creating a stream of images by combining a plurality of sensed reflected electromagnetic energies into a frame.
