Granted: 2008-04-08
Abstract: A method of accurately locating a sub-pixel maximum on a two-dimensional grid (100) having an x axis and a y axis is provided. The method, which is suitable for locating a sub-pixel maximum, which falls at intermediate (200) grid points, begins identifying a grid point having a maximum grid point value (300). Then, a quadrangle containing a sub-pixel maximum is determined by locating neighboring grid points along the x and y axes (400), which have the greatest grid point values. Next, four one-dimensional, fractional maxima are computed along each side of a quadrangle. Next, two lines connecting one-dimensional maxima along the opposite sides of the quadrangle are computed. Finally, a location for the sub-pixel maximum is calculated where the two computed lines intersect (500).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'un textile tissé fait de fibres synthétiques thermoplastiques afin de produire un textile (20) extensible dans les deux sens. Le procédé consiste à fournir un textile (20) ayant des caractéristiques d'extensibilité dans le sens de la largeur, à soumettre le textile (20) à la chaleur et à une pression de façon que les fils situés sensiblement sur la largeur du textile (20) soient rapprochés de force, donnant au textile (20) une extensibilité dans le sens de la longueur. La matière textile (20) est une matière synthétique thermoplastique pouvant être thermiquement stabilisée, telle que le polyester ou une matière textile polyamide. L'extensibilité dans le sens de la largeur (habituellement le sens de la trame) peut être obtenue de manière traditionnelle, mais du fait des contraintes de traitement, il n'est pas aisé d'obtenir autant d'extensibilité dans le sens de la longueur (ou sens de la chaîne). Le retrait par compression auquel le textile (20) a été soumis permet d'augmenter l'extensibilité dans le sens de la chaîne. Grâce à la nature thermoplastique des fils, par ailleurs, l'extensibilité est thermiquement stabilisée et devient par conséquent <= permanente >=.
