    摘要: A method for removing defective pixel image-artifacts includes an adaptive reconstruction kernel taking up to four main and diagonal, defect-free sub-kernel directions into account composed for each defective image pixel. The defective pixels impacted image is real-time corrected by statistical filtering or by a weighed directional convolution of kernel-associated replacement values, calculated by means of an advanced multi-parabolic reconstruction algorithm, for each contributing sub-kernel direction based on 5×5 pixels neighborhood image data readily accessible via a predetermined AMP kernels image-offsets structure.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a security document including a security pattern generation method includes the steps of selecting a bounding region, an image object, and a raster image or a function; cutting the image object into image object partitions; and repeating the image object as a pattern, preferably a lattice pattern, in the bounding region wherein each of the image object partitions of an image object is transformed depending on the position area of the image object in the lattice pattern and the rank of the image object partition.

    摘要: An inkjet printing method with an inkjet printing device includes a vacuum belt having a set of air-channels connecting a top-surface and a bottom-surface of the vacuum belt. The set of air-channels couples an inkjet receiver to the vacuum belt by air suction in the set of air-channels, wherein the vacuum belt includes a dimple at the top-surface. The dimple has a closed bottom end, and the dimple is connected with an air-channel of the set of air-channels to form an air cup and to couple the inkjet receiver to the vacuum belt at the dimple by air suction.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing decorative surfaces includes, in order, the steps of a) inkjet printing an image on a first thermoplastic foil by jetting and UV curing one or more pigmented free radical UV curable inkjet inks on the first thermoplastic foil; b) applying on the inkjet printed image a second thermoplastic foil carrying a layer containing a vinylchloride-vinylacetate-vinylalcohol copolymer with the layer facing the inkjet printed image on the first thermoplastic foil; and c) heat pressing the first and second thermoplastic foils into a decorative laminate; wherein at least one of the first and second thermoplastic foils is transparent, and the one or more pigmented free radical UV curable inkjet inks contain a polymerizable composition having: 30 to 90 wt % of one or more compounds with one ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable group; 10 to 70 wt % of one or more compounds with two ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable groups; and 0 to 10 wt % of one or more compounds with three or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable groups.

    摘要: An X-ray system for taking an X-ray image of an object includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, depth camera(s) covering at least an area covered by an X-ray bundle and configured to obtain depth images and a client device including a display adapted to display an impression image to a user. The system further includes a controller configured to derive the impression image including a representation of this area from the depth images; and to obtain from the client device a first geometric position correction of the X-ray imaging system with respect to this impression image; and to convert the first geometric position correction to an actual geometric position configuration of the X-ray imaging system by a known relation between the one or more depth cameras and the X-ray imaging system.
