Inventor: FUKUHARA TAKAHIRO
IPC: G06K9/36
Filed: 1998-06-01
Abstract: Picture data which has been caused to undergo repetitive transform encoding
(e.g., fractal encoding) is caused to undergo repetitive transform decoding while
implementing scaling at a repetitive transform decoding unit 20 to temporarily
preserve the decoded picture thus obtained at a buffer section 9. At the shape
information calculating section 12, an approach is employed to calculate shape of
object while implementing scaling thereto to send the object shape thus obtained (e.g.,
polygon) to a picture mapping section 10 to implement mapping to decoded picture
from the buffer section 9. Thus, there is realized a texture mapping apparatus such
that picture quality of texture is difficult to be deteriorated even when deformation
takes place, such as, for example, at the time of zooming, etc.

Abstract: When winding a paper web, in order to achieve a constant reeling layer thickness, which represents a significant quality parameter in the production process of paper, the line force or the web tension of the paper is corrected as an influencing force. Using measurements, the relationship between force and layer thickness is determined and used to set a controller. In winding devices, winding from the parent reel generally takes place on a winding station, so that the invention makes use of the relationship between the winding and unwinding operation to the effect that the change in the layer thickness is measured and these measured values are used to train a predictor. In continuous operation, in order to regulate a paper winding device, a measured variable which can be registered is measured, and this measured variable is used to determine the layer thickness change or another correlated quality parameter. In order to compensate for the dead time which arises as a result of the measurement, the predictor is supplied with the specified quality parameters and predicts precisely that variable which will result after the dead time has elapsed, so that in relation to the measurement, the predicted value corresponds to the actual measured value. This variable is used to form the control difference and is fed to the controller, which calculates from it the correction force with which the actual desired influencing force of the paper winding device is corrected.

Abstract: A system (22) and a method for imaging a scene of interest
utilize variable exposure periods that have durations based upon detecting a
fixed voltage drop in order to determine the scene segment radiance. The
rate (16, 18 and 20) of voltage drop corresponds to the degree of scene
segment radiance, such that high radiant scene segments yield faster voltage
drops than lower radiant scene segments. The variable exposure period is
determined within each pixel (25) in a pixel array (24) of the system to gather
exposure periods from different segments of the scene being imaged. The
measured exposure periods are translated into grayscale information that can
be used to generate a composite image having various levels of grayscale
that is representative of the imaged scene. Each pixel includes a photo
sensor (36), an analog-to-digital converter (38, 40, 68 and 78) and a memory
(40) to measure, digitize and store the exposure period. The memory
contains a number of memory cells (82 and 84) having a three-transistor
configuration that are each connected to a bi-directional bit line (78). The
bi-directional bit line functions as both a read bit line and a write bit line.
The three-transistor configuration allows for non-destructive read-outs of
data stored in the memory cells.
