Abstract:
1. An illumination system comprising: a light recording device for producing, from light impinging on the object, recorded image data of the object; an illumination device for illuminating the object; a processor for generating, from the recorded image data of the object, enhancement illumination data for effecting illumination of the object with an enhancement illumination to enhance the appearance of the object; a generator for effecting the generation of reference data representing a reference illumination; a mixing apparatus for effecting mixing of the reference illumination with the enhancement illumination and for providing said mixed illumination to the illumination device as common source for illuminating the object with the reference illumination and the enhancement illumination; and a filter for receiving from the recording device object-reflected mixed image data resulting from reflection by the object of said mixed illumination, said filter being adapted to filter object-reflected reference image data from the received object-reflected mixed image data and to provide said object-reflected reference image data to the processor for generating the enhancement illumination data.
