Title: Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur farbmetrischen Ausmessung einer zweidimensionalen Vorlage
Inventor: VON ORELLI ADRIAN
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: Für die farbmetrische Ausmessung einer zweidimensionalen Vorlage wird in einem ersten Schritt die Vorlage mittels einer farbtauglichen fotoelektrischen Abtasteinrichtung (20) punktweise fotoelektrisch abgetastet, und aus den dabei gewonnenen Abtastwerten wird eine digitale Farbdarstellung (41) der Vorlage erzeugt. In einem zweiten Schritt werden aus der digitalen Farbdarstellung (41) der Vorlage nach Methoden der Bildverarbeitung mittels eines Rechners (R) geeignete Messpositionen (43) ermittelt. In einem dritten Schritt wird der Farbmesskopf (30) rechnergesteuert automatisch an die so ermittelten Messpositionen (43) gefahren und die Vorlage an diesen Messpositionen farbmetrisch ausgemessen. Die dabei gewonnenen Farbmesswerte (44) können z.B. zur Erzeugung von Geräteprofilen oder zur farbmetrischen Regelung von Ausgabegeräten weiterverarbeitet werden. Als Abtasteinrichtung wird vorzugsweise ein hochauflösender Flachbett- oder Einzugscanner oder einen digitale Kamera verwendet. Der Farbmesskopf ist vorzugsweise ein Spektralmesskopf. 
     Durch die vergleichsweise hochauflösende punktweise Abtastung der Vorlage können die Messpositionen ohne manuelle Eingaben sehr genau und ohne zeitraubende Mehrfachmessungen ermittelt werden. Außerdem können z.B. durch Verschmutzung bedingte Artefakte erkannt und korrigiert werden.

Abstract: By irradiating a laser beam onto an X-ray film that includes a support layer having disposed thereon an emulsion layer, the emulsion layer is melted, numerous minute air bubbles are generated in the emulsion layer, and the emulsion layer becomes convex, whereby a visible dot pattern is formed. The irradiation time and wavelength of the laser beam are selected so that separation is not generated between the support layer and the emulsion layer. By defocusing and irradiating the laser beam, the X-ray film may substantially uniformly receives energy of the laser beam. Moreover, an undersurface layer may also be formed, and the laser beam may be irradiated onto the undersurface layer to form a dot pattern on the undersurface layer. A device and a method for forming a marking pattern representing identification information on a rolled photosensitive material and cutting the photosensitive material into sheets are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting documents from one format to another in a speed efficient way involves a hardware module which implements several operating pipeline stages which work in parallel. The transformations are supplied and decomposed into sequences of control units. The transformation of documents consists of applying control unit sequences to input documents. The control units are themselves executed by a set of dedicated hardware resources. Furthermore the pipeline is capable of operating on more than one document at a time. Fast document transformation is a key capability of document processing systems. The use of parallel processing techniques and hardware that implements highly specialized transformation resources make this invention particularly scalable for its use in large, high speed content networks.

Abstract: The invention relates to transmitting time information between elements of a data network. In the present invention, it has surprisingly been discovered that in a network transmitting packet, frame or cell switched data traffic, time stamp information can be transmitted from a network element (101) to another network element (102) by using that part (113a, 113c) of the bit stream (111 b) to be transmitted which is connected, in the transmitting network element (101), to the transmitted bit stream in a location that is placed, in the flowing direction of the transmitted bit stream, after a transmission buffer (103) buffering data packets, frames or cells. In an arrangement according to the invention, the random-type share of the transmission delay experienced by the time stamp information is slight, because the time stamp information does not have to queue in the transmission buffer (103) buffering data packets, frames or cells.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a signal input unit through which an image signal is input, the image signal comprising a synchronization signal and an active signal; an adjustment signal generating unit that generates an adjustment signal; a signal processing unit that receives the adjustment signal and adjusts the image signal based on the received adjustment signal; and a controller which analyzes the input signal and controls the adjustment signal generating unit to change characteristics of the adjustment signal if the adjustment signal does not lie within a blanking interval between the synchronization signal and the active signal. With this configuration, even when an image signal having a reduced blanking interval between the synchronization signal and the active signal is input, the adjustment signal can be generated within the blanking interval of the image signal, not within the active signal interval.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of decoding a first barcode and a second barcode, different from the first barcode. The barcodcs have typically been printed on a page and arc derived from image scanning. The first barcode comprises a plurality of marks modulated about a first grid to redundantly encode data and the second barcode comprising a plurality of marks modulated about a second grid. The method estimates (810) the first grid from a bitmap representation (805) of at least a portion of the page, using modulated marks contained therein. The method determines (820) a first barcode region from the first grid, the first barcode region being a portion of the first barcode, followed by estimating a second grid from the bitmap representation, using modulated marks contained therein. The method determines a second barcode region from the second grid, the second barcode region being a portion of the second barcode, and then decodes (830) the first and second barcode regions using the first and second grids respectively to derive the first and second barcodes.
