摘要:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the analysis and correction of colour casts in a digitally represented image. According to a preferred embodiment, the crominance contents of the image may be transformed by use of a Hough-transformation or the like transformation, wherein the line structures in the carthesic system of co-ordinates for the crominance content is transformed to a representation in a Hough-diagram in the form of a polar system of co-ordinates, since such line structure is hereby transformed into a point structure. The Hough-diagram is examined with a view to finding a cell in the diagram which has the highest value and the cell found is saved. Subsequently cells are neutralized in the Hough-diagram within a predetermined angular distance, and the Hough-diagram is re-examined with a view to finding that diagram cell which, following neutralization, has the highest value. The cell found is saved and the cells saved which represent the maximae in the Hough-diagram are used to determine the intersecting points for lines in the crominance content system, and said intersecting points are used to evaluate the discolouration of the image.

An apparatus is described for exposing a film or plate comprising a light-sensitive material to a light beam. The apparatus comprises an apparatus housing having an elongated cavity or drum defining a substantially circularly-cylindrical inner support (100) for supporting the film or plate and defining a central axis, laser means (122, 124, 126) for generating the light beam, a light-directing assembly (102) comprising a laser light-emitter, a rotatable optically reflecting element (170) and an element-rotating motor (178) having a rotatable output shaft connected to the optically reflecting element (170). The laser light-emitter is constituted by the second end of an optical fibre means (122, 124, 126) having a first light-receiving end being arranged in juxtaposition to the laser means for receiving the light beam therefrom. The second light-emitting end is in juxtaposition to the rotatable optically reflecting element (170) at a substantially fixed distance therefrom for emitting the light beam to the rotatable optically reflecting element (170). The rotatable optically reflecting element is arranged so as to direct the light beam to the light-sensitive film or plate, and the light-directing assembly (102) is movable relative thereto along the central axis. The apparatus further comprises motion means for moving the light-directing assembly (102) relative to the apparatus housing along the central axis, and central control means for controlling the laser means (122, 124, 126), the element-rotating motor (178), and the motion means so as to expose a predetermined area of the photographic film.
摘要:
A diode laser system providing a high-power laser beam with good spatial coherence, which can be focused to a small spot size over long distances and which has a good pointing stability. The laser system comprises a laser diode (301) adapted to emit a first light beam, where the first light beam comprises a plurality of spatial modes, selection means (304) adapted to select a predetermined part of the first light beam, and a reflector (306), where the laser diode and the reflector define a cavity and where the reflector is adapted to reflect the selected part of the first light beam back into the laser diode as a second light beam. The laser system is characterised in that the selection means is adapted to select a part of the first light beam corresponding to a spatial mode with a higher mode number than a spatial mode with maximum gain.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for exposing light-sensitive materials, including a first light beam conducted from a light source with the wavelength lambd1 to a first exposure point on the light-sensitive material via an optical system. This system has at least one input end and one output end as well as at least one reflecting or transmitting rotating optical element arranged relatively to the optical output end, wherein at least one additional light source generates an additional light beam with a wavelength lambdx which is different from lambd1. The additional light beam with the wavelength lambdx is conducted via the input end of the optical system to the output end of the optical system, so as to be geometrically coincident with the first light beam at the output end of the optical system, the additional light beam being conducted from there to an additional exposure point on the light-sensitive material inside the image setter drum in dependence on lambdx or the mutual difference between the wavelength DELTAlambd, said light beams being conducted completely or partly from the input end of the optical system via one or more light guides, preferably optical fibers, to the output end of the optical system.
