Abstract: A method of generating a predictive picture quality rating is provided. In general, a disparity measurement is made of a three-dimensional image by comparing left and right sub-components of the three-dimensional image. Then the left and right sub-components of the three-dimensional image are combined (fused) into a two-dimensional image, using data from the disparity measurement for the combination. A predictive quality measurement is then generated based on the two-dimensional image, and further including quality information about the comparison of the original three-dimensional image.

Abstract: A method to measure an applied magnetic field in a plane is provided. The method includes simultaneously applying a first and second alternating drive current to a respective first and second strap overlaying a magnetoresistive sensor so the magnetoresistive sensor is subjected to a periodically rotating magnetic drive field rotating in the plane in the magnetoresistive sensor. When the applied magnetic field to be measured is superimposed on the periodically rotating magnetic drive field rotating in the plane, the method includes extracting a second harmonic component of an output voltage output from the magnetoresistive sensor. The magnitude of the magnetic field to be measured in the plane is proportional to an amplitude of the extracted second harmonic component of the output voltage. The orientation of the magnetic field to be measured in the plane is related to a phase angle of the extracted second harmonic component of the output voltage.

The method comprises drawing the tempered tube over the expansion device using a drawing device which is arranged downstream of the expansion device and acts on the tube, in such a manner that said tube is transformed from a tube in preform condition into a biaxially oriented tube with thermoplastic material which is oriented in axial direction and in circumferential direction of the tube, wherein said biaxially oriented tube is cooled. 
     Use is made of one or more temperature sensors that sense the temperature of the tube in preform condition upstream of or at the nose end of the expansion device.

Abstract: A random speckle pattern is displayed on a display screen (16) and the image then undergoes an imposed geometric transformation, for example being shifted by an integer number of pixels, the pixel pitch having been measured against a standard. The change in the image is measured by a digital image correlation ("DIC") system (10), which requires validation. The digital image correlation system (10) is then validated by comparing the known measured changes against the imposed geometric transformation. Traceability back to a measurement standard (37) can be provided by means of measuring the pixel pitch with a measuring device that is itself validated back to a measurement standard. A method of calibrating a DIC system is also described. The invention has particular application to validating computer models (240) of aircraft structures (243) and also certification of aircraft components.
