Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 1 generally designates an apparatus for irradiating a subject arranged in an area according to the present invention.

[0026] The device 1 includes a camera 2 . Such a camera 2 is configured to capture an image of an area "A" and to generate a first signal "IM" representative of the captured image. By way of example only, camera 2 may be a dedicated camera, a web camera, or a smartphone with a camera incorporated therein.

[0027] The device 1 also comprises a processing unit 3 . Such a processing unit 3 is in particular configured to be in signal communication with the camera 2 . Furthermore, the processing unit 3 is designed to receive the above-mentioned first signal "IM". The processing unit 3 analyzes the first signal "IM", processes the signal and outputs a second signal "EL" representing the processed image. More details on the architecture and operation of the processing unit 3 will be provided below.

Abstract

An apparatus (1) for illuminating items comprises a the imaging device (2) for capturing an image of an area (A), and generating a first signal (EVI) representative of the captured image; a processingunit (3) which is configured to: receive a first signal (EVI), process it through an image recognition and edge detection algorithm to identify one or more shapes (F) delimited by edges (B), the processing unit (3) being further configured to process the captured image by applying a first color inside the edge (B) of each shape (F) and a second color outside the edge (B) of each shape (F), and generate a second signal (EL) representative of the processed image; the apparatus (1) further comprises an image projection device (4), which is configured to receive the second signal (EL), generate alight beam representative of the processed image and direct the light beam to the area (A).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for irradiating a subject. The invention finds particular application in the illumination of art exhibitions, museums and works in general. Background technique [0002] A prior art illumination system is composed of a plurality of light sources arranged in predetermined positions in predetermined orientations according to the position, shape, and size of a subject to be illuminated. [0003] A first example of a known illumination system is disclosed in CN203259184U. This document discloses an intelligent monitoring and illumination system comprising a digital camera designed to take images of the real-time environment, and an illumination controller for providing on / off control of illumination lamps. In particular, the system is used to monitor access to an environment through doors that can be opened or closed, thereby modifying the images captured by the cameras and causing lights to be swi...
