Title: Generation of a temperature map
Inventor: SAGI ZUR-ARIE
IPC: G01N21/21
Filed: 2020-11-09
Abstract: Generating an accurate and sensitive temperature map over a non-planar surface 12 by capturing a polarimetric thermal image from a non-planar surface. The non-planar surface 12 includes a surface element which emits thermal electromagnetic emission responsive to a temperature of the surface element. Thermal electromagnetic emission is directed to an image element of an image sensor or camera 10. A polarisation state and intensity are measured of the ray of thermal electromagnetic emission 14 from the surface element. Responsive to the polarization state and the intensity, an angular orientation of the surface element is determined. A temperature of the surface element is determined by estimating the thermal emission normal to the surface element responsive to the angular orientation of the surface element and the intensity of the ray of thermal electromagnetic emission emitting from the surface element. A map of temperatures may be generated for a plurality of surface elements. The surface may be a living biological tissue.

Title: Colour optimisation for direct view
Inventor: DANIEL BURNHAM
IPC: G03H1/26
Filed: 2021-12-10
Abstract: A holographic projection system is arranged to receive 510 a colour image for projection, wherein the colour image comprises a first colour component and a second colour component. A first hologram of the first colour component and a second hologram of the second colour component are calculated, wherein the system is arranged to add 540 content of the second colour component to the first colour component before calculating the first hologram. The first hologram thus contains information of the first colour component and information of a portion of the second colour component. First and second holographic reconstructions are formed by respectively illuminating the first and second holograms with first and second colour light substantially at the same time 580. The first holographic reconstruction thus changes the chromaticity of the portion of the second colour component which was added to the first colour component. The system and associated method enable the power of more energetic colour components (e.g. blue light components) to be reduced by transferring some of the higher energy colour content into another, less energetic, colour channel (e.g. green) without being visually perceptible to the viewer. This enables the overall laser power output of the combined holographic projection to be reduced below a maximum permissible exposure, for viewer eye safety purposes.
