First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for illuminating at least one target in a scene, the system comprising:
- an input for receiving an image acquired on said scene, said image comprising said target;
an illumination device having an illumination field and adapted to illuminate a selected portion only of said illumination field according to an illumination figure for selectively illuminating said target in said illumination field; and
an illumination controller for determining said illumination figure from said image such that said portion adaptively matches at least a position of said target in said image, said illumination figure being determined according to a known registration between said image and said illumination field.

Abstract
There are provided a method and a system for illuminating one or more target in a scene. An image of the scene is acquired using a sensing device that may use an infrared sensor for example. From the image, an illumination controller determines an illumination figure, such that the illumination figure adaptively matches at least a position of the target in the image. The target is the selectively illuminated using an illumination device, according to the illumination figure.

12. A method for illuminating at least one target in a scene, the method comprising:
-
acquiring an image of said scene, said image comprising said target; determining, from said image, an illumination figure defined on an illumination field, such that said illumination figure adaptively matches at least a position of said target in said image, said illumination figure being determined according to a known registration between said image and said illumination field; and illuminating a selected portion only of said illumination field according to said illumination figure for selectively illuminating said target in said illumination field. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
