Abstract: A system, method and language for compositing or creating images is disclosed. The images typically comprise a plurality of graphical elements each including color and opacity information. The system utilizes operators having the graphical elements as operands in which the operators combine the operands according to a function defined by the operators, the colour information, and the opacity information, to produce new graphical elements. One part of the system includes interpreting the language by parsing and executing a sequence of statements and forming an expression tree the nodes of which comprise the graphical elements. Instructions are then derived from the tree. Another part permits the compositing of opaque graphical elements and associated clipping operations. Bounding box methods are used for locating active areas of graphical elements from the nodes. Manipulation of the expression tree is used to reduce the expected execution time of the compositing commands. An architecture is disclosed for implementing the system.

Abstract: A method and system implements a redistributive characteristic into an error diffusion process. A grey level value representing a pixel is received. A threshold circuit thresholds the received grey level value and generates an error value as a result of the threshold. A portion of the error value is diffused to adjacent pixels on a next scanline. All the error for a single pixel on the next scanline is accumulated. Since this accumulated error has a greater number of bits than can be stored in a buffer, a portion of the accumulated error is truncated and redistributed to a down stream pixel for inclusion in the downstream pixel's error accumulation process. The grey level value has a first resolution which corresponds to an original input resolution. In a high addressabilty environment, the received grey level value is interpolated to subpixel grey level values before thresholding.

Abstract: This invention provides an image input system capable of setting an arbitrary imaging inhibited area. This system displays a map showing the positions of cameras arranged in an office and the directions in which these cameras can be aimed, or displays the view angles of the cameras. An operator designates an imaging inhibited area on the map. In accordance with the designated imaging inhibited area, a limiting direction is calculated for each camera, and each camera is so controlled as not to point in that direction. Even when cameras are fixed, the system controls display so that an imaging inhibited area is not displayed.

For representation of information regarding numerals and characters, each basic unit includes four square elements. The four square elements have different sizes and are disposed concentrically. Each side (a, b, c, d; a1, b1, c1, d1) of the square element is selectively cut to represent a binary digit, and the basic unit as a whole represents, for example, a 16-digit binary number. Each side of the element may be selectively cut in accordance with coded information such as the Morse code. In this case, the data compression ratio increases more. When in a prepaid card, the two-dimensional code symbol is used to represent the unit price of purchase of specific merchandise or the unit price of payment, the basic unit including only one square element is used. In this case, basic units are printed on a prepaid card in the number needed to indicate an issued amount of money, and a basic unit(s) corresponding to a required amount of payment is filled in to thereby make payment by the card.

Abstract: An optical heterodyne system provides the radiation source and beam scan control of a millimeter wave (MMW) array antenna (50). The heterodyne system is an optical feed system to produce the MMW by mixing the optical outputs from two lasers (56, 56C), distribute the signal source to an array of radiating elements (70) through a Rotman lens (54) and optical fibers (60), generate the differential phase shift for beam scan in the optical domain, change the beam direction by switching the input laser being used to illuminate the Rotman lens (54) or by varying the frequency of one of the laser sources (56). The feed system includes n-1 lasers (56) spaced along the transmit side (54A) of the lens (54), and a center laser (56C) disposed on the center axis (56C) of the transmit side. A 1:n switch (52) receives a command input to determine which of the n-1 lasers (56) will operate. The beat frequency (ω 2 -ω 1 ) between the center laser operating frequency (ω 1 ) and that (ω 2 ) of the n-1 lasers (56) is the MMW frequency. N optical receive elements (58B) are spaced along the output side (54B) of the Rotman lens (54) and are connected to a corresponding photodetector (62) by equal length optical fibers (60). The output of each photodetector (62) is amplified and fed to a corresponding radiating element (70). The system (50) also operates in a corresponding receive mode.
