Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining whether a camera component of a camera includes obtaining information relating to one or more damage indicators; obtaining, from the camera, at least one image which has been taken when light from a light source has been incident on the camera component; dividing the image into one or more areas; analysing each area to determine whether each area includes at least one of the one or more damage indicators; and based on said analysing, providing an indication of whether the camera component is classified as damaged or undamaged.
Claims48
A computer-implemented method for determining whether a camera component of a camera is damaged comprising:
- obtaining information relating to one or more damage indicators;
- obtaining, from the camera, at least one image which has been taken when light from a light source has been incident on the camera component;
- dividing the image into one or more areas;
- analysing each area to determine whether it comprises at least one of the one or more damage indicators;
- and
- based on said analysing, providing an indication of whether the camera component is classified as damaged or undamaged.
A system for determining whether a camera component of a camera is damaged, the system comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising programming instructions operable by a processor to carry out the following steps:
- obtaining information relating to one or more damage indicators;
- obtaining, from the camera, at least one image which has been taken when light from a light source has been incident on the camera component;
- dividing the image into one or more areas;
- analysing each area to determine whether it comprises at least one of the one or more damage indicators;
- and
- based on said analysing, providing an indication of whether the camera component is classified as damaged or undamaged.

- obtaining information relating to one or more damage indicators;
- obtaining, from the camera, at least one image which has been taken when light from a light source is incident on the camera component;
- dividing the image into one or more areas;
- analysing each area to determine whether it comprises at least one of the one or more damage indicators;
- and
- based on said analysing, providing an indication of whether the camera component is classified as damaged or undamaged;
- wherein the information relating to one or more damage indicators comprises a known shape of the light source such that the one or more damage indicators correspond to a lack of a corresponding shape in the image.
