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 42):
A method of compensating for inconsistent lighting in an imaging system, the method comprising:\n capturing an image of a target object with a scene image sensor having a scene image sensing direction, wherein the target object is illuminated by a light source; capturing light directly from the light source on a light monitoring image sensor, the light monitoring image sensor being oriented in a direction substantially different from the scene image sensing direction; processing the light obtained from the light monitoring image sensor and determining color balance information therefrom; providing the color balance information from the light monitoring image sensor to a processor processing the image captured by the scene image sensor, and adjusting the color balance of the image of the target object from the color balance information.
