摘要:
Disclosed is a diffractive optical element which is made of at least two materials of different dispersions and which includes at least two diffraction gratings being accumulated one upon another, wherein each diffraction grating is formed on a curved surface of a substrate, and wherein a diffraction grating, of the at least two diffraction gratings, in which a curvature radius of the curved surface and a curvature radius of a grating surface in a portion where a grating pitch is largest, have different signs, is one of the at least two diffraction gratings which has a smallest grating thickness.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus and an image processing method both offering a high-precision and general-purpose capability of identifying an image and performing appropriate processing depending on whether identification is effected. In the image processing apparatus and image processing method, image data is detected in visible and invisible light reflected from each of a target pixel and surrounding pixels. Based on the image data detected in visible and invisible light, a specific pattern is identified. The specific pattern appears substantially the same in color as a surrounding area under visible light but different in characteristic therefrom under invisible light, which is identified using the image data of the target pixel and surrounding pixels provided by a detector. The image processing apparatus is controlled depending on whether the identification is effected.

An object of the present invention is to provide an invisible information recorded medium having an identification mark. In order to achieve the object, an invisible information recorded medium is provided having an identification mark recorded thereon, the identification mark being composed of a region having a high reflectance and a region having a low reflectance as compared with the reflectance of the medium in the same near infrared ray region.

The present invention is directed to discriminate in a high accuracy a specific pattern by using visible and invisible information. There is provided an image processing apparatus comprising a reading unit for obtaining visible and invisible information at an original as electric signals, and a comparing unit for comparing a visible reading signal with a invisible reading signal, both of which are obtained by the reading unit.

A color image reading apparatus is provided wherein a color picture image is read out by a monolithic three line sensor (4) through a reflection type one-dimensional blazed diffraction grating (3) acting as a color separating means. The diffraction grating is concavely curved toward the line sensor, and a light beam, diverging after being focused by an image forming optical element having a predetermined refracting power only in a sub-scan cross section, is color-separated into three color light components by the diffraction grating and re-imaged on the surface of the three line sensors (8,9,10) located at a predetermined position. As a result, the blur of ± 1 order diffracted lights in a sub-scanning direction can be prevented which is due to the deviation of a reflective diffraction angle resulting from the difference in an incident angle of respective lights on the grating surface in the sub-scan cross section. At this time, a convergent spherical wave that is a light beam emerging from the image forming optical system enters the diffraction grating.
摘要:
A scanning optical apparatus has a light source for emitting a light beam, and a deflector such as rotatable polygonal mirror (7) having a plurality of mirror surfaces (7A, B) for deflecting the light beam emitted from the light source (3). Each mirror surface (7A, B) of the rotatable polygonal mirror (7) has a pair of reflecting surfaces (7A, B) inclined toward the center axis of rotation of the polygonal mirror (7) and orthogonal to each other. A fixed reflecting mirror (9) is arranged in opposed relationship with one of the pair of reflecting surfaces so that the light beam deflected by the deflector is reflected to be returned to the deflector again.
