    摘要: An optical type granule sorting machine is provided which allows a sensitivity setting to be easily performed by effectively utilizing RGB three-dimensional color space information similar to information obtained via human eyes and which enables signal processing to be substantially simplified. Determination means includes a three-dimensional color distribution data creation section that creates data on wavelength components of R light, G light, and B light from the granules, on a three-dimensional color space, a Mahalanobis distance interface creation section that sets an interface calculated based on a Mahalanobis distance to partition the data into a conforming-granule cluster area and a nonconforming granule cluster area, a Euclidean distance interface creation section that determines a position of center of gravity of the conforming granule cluster area and a position of center of gravity of the nonconforming granule cluster area to set an interface calculated based on a Euclidean distance at which the positions of center of gravity lie at a longest distance from each other, and a threshold determination section that determines a line of intersection between the interface calculated based on the Mahalanobis distance and the interface calculated based on the Euclidean distance, to determine the line of intersection to be a determination threshold that allows determination of whether or not the granules are to be treated as a separation target.

    摘要: An image sensor for capturing a color image is disclosed having a two-dimensional array having first and second groups of pixels wherein pixels from the first group of pixels have narrower spectral photoresponses than pixels from the second group of pixels and wherein the first group of pixels has individual pixels that have spectral photoresponses that correspond to a set of at least two colors. Further, the placement of the first and second groups of pixels defines a pattern that has a minimal repeating unit including at least twelve pixels. The minimal repeating unit has a plurality of cells wherein each cell has at least two pixels representing a specific color selected from the first group of pixels and a plurality of pixels selected from the second group of pixels arranged to permit the reproduction of a captured color image under different lighting conditions.

    摘要: In one embodiment of the Invention, a method is provided. The method, compromises a scaling down a Bayer domain image made up of a number of 2x2 basic units, each have a Red (R) pixel, a Blue (B) pixel, and two Green (G) pixels arranged in a fixed configuration and replicated throughout the image, the method compromising (a) partitioning the image into 2Mx2N input blocks, where M and N are integers greater than or equal to 1 ; (b) for each 2Mx2N input block, averaging a selection of R pixels in the block to produce a R pixel in a scaled down Image corresponding to the Bayer domain image; (c) averaging a selection of B pixels in the block to produce a B pixel in the scaled down image; and (d) partitioning the 2Mx2N input block into first and second triangular regions, and averaging a selection of pixels in the first triangular to produce a first G pixel in the scaled down image, and averaging a selection of pixels in the second triangular region to produce a second G pixel in the scaled down image.

    摘要: Innovations include a sensing device having a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensors, each sensor having a length dimension and a width dimension and configured to generate a signal responsive to radiation incident on the sensor, and a filter array comprising a plurality of filters, the filter array disposed to filter light before it is incident on the sensor array, the filter array arranged relative to the sensor array so each of the plurality of sensors receives radiation propagating through at least one corresponding filter. Each filter has a length dimension and a width dimension, and a ratio of the length dimension of a filter to the length dimension of a corresponding sensor, a ratio of the width dimension of a filter to the width dimension of a corresponding sensor, or both, is a non-integer greater than 1.
