Abstract:
The various embodiments herein relate to imaging devices and systems that capture an image of a target object and separately capture light from the light source illuminating the target object to compensate for inconsistent lighting of that object. Some systems have scene cameras to capture the images of the target objects and a separate light capturing camera to capture the light from the light source. Other embodiments relate to a single camera capturing an image of the target object while simultaneously capturing light from the light source.

Claim (Index 28):
An object identification system comprising:\n (a) at least one scene camera positioned to capture an image of a target object, wherein the target object is illuminated by a light source, the at least one scene camera comprising:\n (i) a scene image sensor having a scene image sensing direction; and \n (ii) a scene processor operably coupled to the scene image sensor; \n (b) a light monitoring camera positioned to capture light from the light source, the light monitoring camera comprising:\n (i) a light monitoring image sensor having a light monitoring sensing direction substantially different from the scene image sensing direction; and \n (iv) a light monitoring processor operably coupled to the light monitoring image sensor, wherein the light monitoring processor is configured to determine color of the light source and produce color balance information; and \n (c) a communication line operably coupled at a first end to the scene processor and at a second end to the light monitoring processor and providing the color balance information from the light monitoring processor to said scene processor;\n the scene processor utilizing the color balance information received on said communication line to correct the color of said image produced by said scene image sensor to enhance color accuracy.
