Contemporaneously reconstructing images captured of a scene illuminated with unstructured and structured illumination sources

摘要

What is disclosed is system and method for contemporaneously reconstructing images of a scene illuminated with unstructured and structured illumination sources. In one embodiment, the system comprises capturing a first 2D image containing energy reflected from a scene being illuminated by a structured illumination source and a second 2D image containing energy reflected from the scene being illuminated by an unstructured illumination source. A controller effectuates a manipulation of the structured and unstructured illumination sources during capture of the video. A processor is configured to execute machine readable program instructions enabling the controller to manipulate the illumination sources, and for effectuating the contemporaneous reconstruction of a 2D intensity map of the scene using the second 2D image and of a 3D surface map of the scene using the first 2D image. The reconstruction is effectuated by manipulating the illumination sources.

1. A method of creating maps of a subject's skin in a scene captured by a video camera comprising:
capturing: (i) a first 2D image containing energy reflected from a subject's skin being illuminated by a structured illumination source projecting a pattern of light onto the subject's skin, said first 2D image being captured with a video camera that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength of the structured illumination source; and (ii) a second 2D image containing energy reflected from the subject's skin being illuminated by an unstructured illumination source; during capturing of the first 2D image and the second 2D image, varying the structured and unstructured illumination sources such that the structured illumination source and the unstructured illumination source are not projecting light on a same region of interest of the subject's skin at the same time during capturing of the first 2D image and capturing of the second 2D image; and reconstructing a 2D intensity map using the second 2D image having been illuminated by an unstructured illumination source and a 3D surface map using the first 2D image having been illuminated by a structured illumination source, wherein said 2D intensity map is a map of said subject's vascular pattern containing blood vessels which transport hemoglobin.
