An image capturing apparatus includes a light source to emit first light to a light translucent member, an image sensor to capture an adhering detection frame for acquiring an adhering detection image to detect a substance adhering on the light translucent member by using the first light emitted from the light source, and to capture object recognition frames for acquiring object recognition images for recognizing objects other than the substance by receiving second light, and circuitry to set a frame time of the adhering detection frame shorter than a frame time of each of the object recognition frames, and to set an exposure time of an object recognition frame right after the adhering detection frame to a value that prevents overlapping of an exposure period of the adhering detection frame and an exposure period of the object recognition frame right after the adhering detection frame.

A substance detection apparatus and method including a light source to emit light to a planar transparent member having a proximal first face and a distal second face opposite the first face, the light from the light source first striking the first face of the planar transparent member. The substance detection apparatus and method including an image capture lens, a polarization filter, an image sensor, and a substance detection processor. The light emitted from the light source is reflected at the substance present on the second face of the planar transparent member, and the image sensor receives light reflected from the substance, via the image capture lens and the polarization filter, to capture an image of the substance present on the second face of the planar transparent member.

An image pickup lens has a focal length far from a position of a transparent member. An image pickup device is put on the side of the transparent member the same as that of a light source and takes reflected light including regular reflection from an interface between an adhered object on the other surface of the transparent member and air. Assuming an incident angle of the emitted light on the transparent member when the light reflected in regular reflection by the other surface of the transparent member is incident on the image pickup lens being θs, an incident angle of a typical light beam of the emitted light falls within θs−30 deg through θs and an incident angle of a main element of the emitted light is less than θs.

A foreign substance detection system includes an optical device having an input surface through which is part of light emitted from a light source enters the optical device and a transparent face, provided in close contact with an inner surface of a glass, to transmit a light reflected from an area where a substance is not present on an outer surface of the glass toward a first light-receiving member; a light-guiding member to guide another part of the light that does not pass through the input surface, the guided light being to be reflected from an area where a substance is present on an inner surface of the glass toward a second light-receiving member; and an foreign substance detection processor to detect an outer substance based on the first light-receiving member and detect the inner substance based on the second light-receiving member.

An optical fiber probe is disclosed that comprises an optical fiber and an optical probe. The optical fiber includes a core though which light emitted from a light source travels. The optical probe is configured to emit the light from a projecting end portion of the core. An inclination angle of a normal line of a part or all of a surface of the optical probe with respect to an optical axis of propagating light that travels through the core is smaller than a total reflection angle of the propagation light but greater than zero degrees.

An imaging system includes an imaging device and an imaging control device to control operations of the imaging device. The imaging device is installed on a mobile object to image an inspection target object while moving. Respective sides visible from the imaging device when the inspection target object is positioned in forward/sideward/backward directions are defined as front/side/rear surfaces of the inspection target object. The imaging device images the front surface at a first timing when the inspection target object is positioned forward, to obtain a first captured image. The imaging control device controls operations of the imaging device, to obtain a second captured image by imaging at least one of the side surface and the rear surface at a second timing when the inspection target object is positioned sideward or backward.

摘要:
To achieve an image pickup element that can utilize polarized light as well as non-polarized light to image or capture an object, an image pickup element is provided to an imaging apparatus that forms an image of an object to be imaged onto a light-receiving surface of an image sensor, acquires a polarized filter image together with a regular luminance image, and executes image processing on the acquired images. The image pickup element includes, on a light-receiving surface LRS of the image sensor IMS, a polarizing filter PFL including at least two kinds of pixels having different transmission and polarization properties from each other.
