PHOTOGRAPHY SYSTEM AND METHOD INCLUDING A SYSTEM FOR LIGHTING THE SCENE TO BE SHOT

摘要

Provided is a method/system for taking, by an imaging device, one or more images of an object or a part of an object presented at a distance in front of the imaging device, the object being illuminated by a lighting system. The method/system may include: estimating a 3D model of the object as it will be at a predetermined time when taking the image by the imaging device; simulating, using the estimated 3D model, the illumination of the object as it will be at said time to obtain estimated images of the object in respectively a plurality of envisaged lighting modes of the lighting system; selecting a lighting mode of the lighting system from the estimated images; and controlling the lighting system to be in the selected lighting mode; and controlling the imaging device, at the time of the taking of the image of the object, to effect the taking.

1. A method for taking, by means of an imaging device, one or more images of an object or of a part of an object presented at a distance in front of said imaging device, said object being illuminated by means of a lighting system, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
a step of estimating a 3D model of the object as it is at a predetermined time of the taking of the image by said imaging device, a step of simulating, using said 3D model thus estimated, the illumination of the object as it is at said time in order to obtain estimated images of said object in respectively a plurality of envisaged lighting modes of said lighting system, a step of selecting a lighting mode of the lighting system from the estimated images, and a step of controlling the lighting system so that it is in the lighting mode that was selected, and a step of controlling the imaging device, at said time of the taking of the image of said object, so that said taking is effected.
