Abstract
An image capture system is provided. The image capture system for capturing an image of an object includes a light emitting module, a lens, a base unit and a filter unit. The light emitting module provides a plurality of light beams to form a reference area. The base unit includes a light sensor corresponding to the lens. The filter unit includes at least one visible light passing portion and at least one invisible light passing portion. The filter unit is driven to position one of the visible light passing portion and the invisible light passing portion between the lens and the light sensor. The actual size of the object can be estimated via the reference area.
Claims20
An image capture system comprising:
- a light emitting module providing a plurality of light beams to form a reference area;
- a lens;
- a base unit comprising a light sensor, the light sensor transforming a complex optical signal projected into the lens to a plurality of image signals, wherein the complex light signal comprises the light beams reflected by an object;
- a switch mechanism comprising a filter unit and a switch driver, wherein the filter unit comprises at least one visible light passing portion and at least one invisible light passing portion, and the switch drive drives the filter unit to position one of the visible light passing portion and the invisible light passing portion between the lens and the light sensor;
- and
- an image processing unit integrating the image signals from the light sensing unit.
An image capture system, comprising:
- a light emitting module providing at least one light beam;
- a lens receiving a complex optical signal reflected by an object;
- a filter unit filtering the complex optical signal from the lens and outputting a first transmitted light and a second transmitted light;
- a light sensor detecting the first transmitted light and the second transmitted light in sequence and providing two image signals;
- and
- an image processing unit integrating the image signals provided by the light sensor.
A method for capturing a labeled image, comprising
- (A) projecting at least one light beam on an object;
- (B) providing a filter unit adjacent to a light sensor, wherein the filter unit is switched to transform a complex optical signal, inputted to the filter unit, into a first transmitted light and a second transmitted light, and the first transmitted light and the second transmitted light is output in sequence, wherein the complex optical signal comprises the light beam reflected by the object;
- (C) receiving the first transmitted light and the second transmitted light and outputting two corresponding image signals by the light sensor;
- and
- (D) integrating the image signals and outputting an image.
