Abstract: The invention relates to a method of digitizing physical objects. With this method it is possible to capture not only the shape (and color) of an object, but also its transparency properties. This is done by taking multiple snapshots while controlling the back-lighting of the object. A specific embodiment is based on a camera for capturing the images, and an LCD screen for controlling the back-lighting.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus according to the invention comprises at least a first (1.2) and a second processor (1.3), which processors are capable of communicating data to each other by exchanging tokens via a buffer according to a synchronization protocol. The protocol maintains synchronization information comprising at least a first and a second synchronization counter (writec, readc), which are readable by both processors. At least the first processor (1.2) is capable of modifying the first counter (writec), and at least the second processor (1.3) is capable of modifying the second counter (readc). The protocol comprises at least a first command (claim) which when issued by a processor results in a verification whether a requested number of tokens is available to said processor, and a second command (release) which results in updating one of the synchronization counters to indicate that tokens are released for use by the other processor. At least one of the processors (1.3) comprises a storage facility for locally storing an indication (Nc; writec', readc) of the amount of tokens available to that processor, wherein issuing the first command (claim) results in a verification of the number of tokens available to said processor on the basis of said indication. A negative outcome of the verification results in updating of this indication on the basis of at least one of the synchronization counters. Issuing the second command (release) by a processor results in updating the indication in accordance with the number of tokens released to the other processor.
