摘要:
The invention relates to method for computing a unique identifier for a gemstone, comprising: - acquiring a 2D digital master image (MI, MIn, MIw) of the gemstone, where an image of a reference mark (56) on the gemstone defines a master image referential (OR, XR, YR); - matching a virtual selection mask with the master image according to a predefined position and orientation with respect to the master image referential; - defining, in the master image, a plurality of distinct selected zones (SZ') corresponding to the location of selection zones of the matched mask; - detecting, in each of the plurality of distinct selected zones, the presence or not of at least one facet edge portion image; - defining a location of the detected facet edge portion images in the master image; - computing a unique identifier based on the defined locations of the detected facet edge portion images.

Systems and methods for mobile gemstone identification are described herein. According to an embodiment, a mobile gemstone identification system (100) includes a gemstone holder (104, 202, 302, 402) to hold a gemstone (102) and includes an optoelectronic assembly (106). The optoelectronic assembly (106) includes an illumination device (108) to illuminate the gemstone (102) by causing radiations to be incident on the gemstone (102). Further, the optoelectronic assembly (106) further includes a screen (110) to form a pattern indicative of an optical response of the gemstone (102), in response to the radiations being incident on the gemstone (102). According to an aspect, the screen (110) is formed as having a plurality of regions (114, 116) having different masses, and the pattern is to be formed substantially on a region (114) having greater mass than other regions (116).

摘要:
A method and system for creating and storing an identifier for a timepiece having at least one gemstone. The method includes determining one or more characteristics of the at least one gemstone and detecting a relative position of the at least one gemstone in the timepiece. The method further includes creating the identifier for the timepiece in dependence upon at least one of the one or more characteristics of the at least one gemstone and the respective relative position of the at least one gemstone and storing the identifier in a database or device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for orientating discrete objects, such as gemstones, is described. The method comprises providing the objects on a travelling path; providing a pair of opposed walls (38) extending generally along the direction of the path; and generating relative oscillatory movement (14) between the pair of walls (38) and the travelling path (in a direction generally transverse to the direction of the path), so that the pair of walls (38) imparts lateral force to the objects to thereby urge them into their most stable orientation as they progress along the path. A device for checking the orientation of the discrete objects is also described.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for generating a 3D model of and/or detecting inclusions in a polished gemstone such as diamond is described. The gemstone (103) is rotated in a series of discrete increments. At each rotational position of the gemstone, the gemstone (103) is illuminated with collimated light (111,112) and a silhouette image recorded. At each rotational position, the gemstone (103) is also (before further rotation) illuminated with diffuse light (109), and a diffuse image recorded. The images are analyzed to obtain a 3D model of the surface of the gemstone. Features may then be identified in the diffuse images and tracked between subsequent diffuse images. The tracked features may be located relative to the 3D model of the gemstone, taking into account reflection and refraction of light rays by the gemstone. Some or all of the located features may then be identified as inclusions.
