摘要:
An exposure controlling apparatus includes a sensor for effecting photometry by separating light from an original picture into a plurality of separated components; a storage device for storing a value concerning the spectral sensitivity of the sensor and a value concerning the spectral sensitivity of a copying sensitive material to be copied; an estimating device for estimating a spectral characteristic of the original picture on the basis of a photometric value of the sensor and the value concerning the spectral sensitivity of the sensor stored in the storage device; and a controller for determining a synthetic value which is equivalent to a value measured by a sensor having a spectral sensitivity distribution identical with or similar to a spectral sensitivity distribution of the copying sensitive material on the basis of the spectral characteristics of the original picture estimated and the value concerning the spectral sensitivity of the copying sensitive material, and for controlling exposure amount on the basis of the synthetic value. Accordingly, it is possible to control exposure amount by estimating the spectral characteristics of the original picture even from photometric values obtained by effecting photometry by separating the light into components having a wide half-width.

A method for determining exposure amount by making use of the fact that values in which the photometric data on a lowest-density portion of a color film is subtracted from tricolor photometric data are approximately the same irrespective of the type of film. The lowest-density data is subtracted from the tricolor photometric data to determine tricolor corrected data. This tricolor corrected data is normalized, and the tricolor normalized data is compared with a reference value so as to be classified into tricolor normalized data. The tricolor photometric data is selected in correspondence with this classification, and the exposure amount is determined on the basis of an average value of the tricolor photometric data selected. As a result, it is possible to print various types of film under the conditions of print exposure of a reference film type without requiring information indicating the film type.

An interference filter includes a multi-coated interference filter layer of dielectric substances deposited on a transparent base plate and extinction members applied to side surfaces of the transparent base plate. A multi-color interference filter has at least two such interference filters having different spectral characteristics closely connected to each other through the extinction members and cemented to a transparent base plate which is formed with a multi-coated anti-reflection layer deposited on one surface opposite to a surface to which the interference filter is cemented.

Codes (the so-called DX codes) recorded on a plurality of films are read to classify the films into a plurality of film types. Light is measured with respect to images on the films to obtain image densities, and, on the basis of the resultant photometric values, the image densities are obtained and are then stored in correspondence with the film types. A reference value is calculated on the basis of the image density that corresponds to the film type to which one of the films to be subjected to printing belongs. A color region is specified on the basis of the calculated reference value, and, on the basis of photometric values that belong to the specified color region, image density values for the three primary colors are calculated. The exposure for use in the printing of the film to be subjected to printing is determined from a reference printing exposure condition already stored and the calculated image density values for the three primary colors. The stored image densities are compared to one another to determine whether they are identical or similar, and certain film types corresponding image densities which have been determined to be identical or similar are integrated as the same film type.

A color image exposure apparatus with improved color reproducibility is disclosed. The improved color reproducibility has been achieved by using for exposure only those rays having a substantially uniform angle distribution relative to an optical axis. In order to perform exposure by the above rays, rays substantially parallel to the optical axis are caused to enter a filter coated with a dielectric multilayer film or, as an alternative, rays substantially parallel to the optical axis only are chosen from rays emitted through the filter. Since rays near an enlarging master lens are substantially parallel to the optical axis, an optical member coated with a dielectric multilayer film may be arranged in the vicinity of the master lens.

Three color densities of a color original are measured for a number of picture elements into which the color original is divided. A part of the color original that includes at least one picture element is selected, with whose color based on the measured densities thereof the color of each picture element based on the measured densities is compared to detect picture elements having colors identical or similar to the color of the selected part of the color original. The picture elements of the identical or similar colors can define an extent of image which determines a principal subject image and the remainder of which is background. For the individual image, at least one characteristic value peculiar to the image is then calculated by utilizing the measured color densities of picture elements, and on the basis of the characteristics values the scene of the original is classified to select one of a plurality of previously provided exposure calculating formulas in order to determine the proper exposure for obtaining color prints of proper color balance and density.

In conventional color photographic printers, it is emperically known that the LATD balance of RGB is substantially constant. If the exposures of three primary color components are controlled to be constant in photographic printing, standard color film negatives may be printed with excellent color balance. However, the above LATD control method is not always effective for the film negatives where a specific color is dominant, and those films are often printed with poorly balance color. The present method performs exposure control of RGB with color compensation filters controlling the color with the color compensation filter amount dependent upon factors such as the filter position, filter density, transmission factor, amount of light, etc. This method can therefore control the exposure control values at a high precision without disturbing color balance for all types of films. This method can also prevent fluctuations in density which might otherwise be entailed by the changes in color correction level so as to thereby precisely deal with changes in the sensitivity of the materials of the development process.

A number of light measuring elements are arranged at various portions of an image of an object focused by an objective. The light measuring elements are grouped for different zones to measure the average brightness of the image within the respective zones. The average brightness of the image is weighed and added together to calculate the brightness of the object based on which the exposure is controlled.

A method is disclosed for controlling the exposure during photographic printing. The transmission density of a negative or original is measured to provide an exposure control signal. In an illustrative embodiment of this invention, the original is divided into a central portion, a peripheral portion, an upper portion, a lower portion, a right-hand portion and a left-hand portion. Means are provided for quantizing a difference in average density between the portions in the negative, which is classified into a plurality of categories in accordance with a logic of combining characteristic values of the negative. The method affords an enhancement of accuracy in exposure control and an enhancement of probability of obtaining prints of good quality.
