摘要： A method of producing a composite image on an image recording medium from first and second component images, represented by digital image data, comprising the steps of converting the digital image data of each image into electromagnetic radiation image data; and forming the composite image by successively exposing the recording medium to the electromagnetic radiation image data of the first and second images so that the images are created on the medium in overlapping relationship to form a join region. The medium is doubly exposed, first by the image data of the first image and then by the image data of the second image. The intensity of the electromagnetic radiation representing the first image is progressively ramped off in the join region and the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation representing the second image is progressively ramped on in the join region.

摘要： An optical recording and data processing system for exposing an image on to a flexible, light sensitive medium, which includes a medium holder having an inner cylindrical wall portion against which is held said medium, and a light source having an approximately rectangular emitting aperture, with a short aperture axis and a long aperture axis, operative to emit a beam of light having a rectangular cross section with a long axis corresponding to the long aperture axis and a short axis corresponding to the short aperture axis. An optical modulator is aligned with the light source so as to intercept light from the beam of light and produce a spatial modulation pattern across the long axis of the beam of light. A pattern shifter for shifting the spatial modulation pattern across the length of the long axis at a constant rate is provided as is a pattern rotator for rotating the spatial modulation pattern at a rate equal to the rate of shifting of the spatial modulation pattern. A scanner for scanning the beam of light onto and across the circumference of the inner cylindrical wall portion and a driver for advancing the scanner mechanism, after scanning a row, to an adjacent row to repeat the scanning are both provided. The relative phase angle between rotation of the spatial modulation pattern and scanning of the pattern is maintained such that the direction of movement of the projected image of said shifting is parallel to the scan motion, but opposite in direction. An optical system is provided to project the modulated beam of light and focus it to produce an image of the shifting modulation pattern at the recording medium so that the rate of shifting motion cancels the scan motion.
