15. An automatic lighting system for camera based inspections, comprising:
-
a diffuser; a camera lens positioned in a camera lens hole on the diffuser, the camera lens having an optical axis; a plurality of bright field LED lights provided on the diffuser substantially adjacent the camera lens and pointing substantially parallel to the optical axis, such that the plurality of bright field LED lights direct light toward an object through the portion of the diffuser adjacent to the camera lens hole; and at least one set of low angle lights mounted to a side portion of the diffuser, wherein the diffuser is shaped to provide light at angles that enable a plurality of lighting requirements for camera-based inspections. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method comprising:
illuminating an object via; at least one set of low angle lights mounted on a side portion of a substantially domed-shaped diffuser, the diffuser defining a camera lens hole positioned along an optical axis of the diffuser in a top portion of the diffuser to allow light reflected from the object to reach a camera lens; and a plurality of bright field lights mounted on the diffuser substantially adjacent to the camera lens hole and pointing substantially parallel to the optical axis, such that the plurality of bright field lights direct light toward the object through the portion of the diffuser adjacent to the camera lens hole. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method comprising:
automatically illuminating an object via at least two lighting sources selected from; a bright field light mounted on a top portion of a substantially domed-shaped diffuser substantially adjacent to a camera lens hole positioned along an optical axis of the diffuser in the top portion of the diffuser, wherein the bright field light points substantially parallel to the optical axis such that the bright field light directs light toward the object through the portion of the diffuser adjacent to the camera lens hole, wherein the camera lens hole allows light reflected from the object to reach a camera lens, a low angle light mounted on a side portion of the diffuser and oriented to substantially face an interior zone of the diffuser, and a dome light mounted to the diffuser to direct light toward an interior surface of the diffuser.
