Abstract
A method of producing an image of an object residing inside a transparent container of a first color includes: illuminating the container and the object with light of a second color, the second color being substantially the inverse of the first color; and producing an image of the object through the container. An image produced by this method can exhibit substantially the same color as the object itself, even when the image is taken through a colored transparent wall.
Claims18
A method of producing an image of an object residing inside a transparent container of a first color, comprising:
- illuminating the container and the object with light of a second color, the second color being substantially the inverse of the first color;
- producing an image of the object through the container;
- and
- comparing the image with a stored image of a similar object.
A method of producing an image of an object residing inside a transparent container of a first color, comprising:
- illuminating the container and the object with light of a second color, the second color being chosen to substantially cancel the first color;
- producing an image of the object in the container;
- and
- comparing the image with a stored image of a similar object.
A method of producing an image of an object, comprising:
- positioning an object such that a transparent colored wall of a first color is between the object and a light source;
- illuminating the wall and the object with light of a second color, the second color being substantially the inverse of the first color;
- producing an image of the object through the wall;
- and
- comparing the image with a stored image of a similar object.
A method of producing an image of an object residing inside a transparent container of a first color, comprising:
- illuminating the container and the object with light of a second color, the second color being substantially the inverse of the first color;
- producing an image of the object through the container;
- irradiating the object with electromagnetic radiation outside the visible light range;
- detecting a property of the electromagnetic radiation after irradiation of the object;
- and
- producing a spectrum of the composition of the object based on the detecting step.
