    摘要: Diffuse “dark field” illumination and “bright field” illumination are each provided for a hand-held encoded symbology imager/reader; to be projected therefrom upon symbology disposed on a target (component part, goods, package, etc.). The imager/reader is encased in a housing ergonomically configured to be griped in more then one manner and to thus facilitate holding the imager/reader steady. The symbology to be imaged is targeted by a line that not only spots the symbology, but by extending a length commensurate with that of the symbology, indicates that the symbology is in the field of view of the imager/reader. A CCD, disposed to receive light reflected from the symbology, has its readout controlled so that only selected portions of the CCD need be analyzed for illumination and focusing purposes. To optimize imaging and decoding time, and to optimize use of power, readout from some portions of the CCD is accomplished in relatively rapid time by speeding up the readout of the CCD in some of its active area; while reverting back to a slower readout for data to be analyzed for illumination and focusing control and decoding purposes. In addition, special application of entropy principles facilitate determining the optimum focus and illumination conditions for the imager/reader.

    摘要: A hand-held imager which is capable of reading both linear and two dimensional symbologies, which can perform focusing and illuminating steps quickly and accurately so as to eliminate variation in the position of the imager relative to the code becoming a negative factor, in which can operate in environment where the imager is anywhere from 1.5 inches to 16 inches from the code. The imager includes an imaging system having a focusing system, an illumination system, and a two-dimensional photodetector which forms an image of the coded symbology. After achieving targeting of the coded symbology, the scanning system adjusts the focus between multiple different focuses, and utilizes a portion of the two-dimensional photodetector to determine the optimum focus. Upon the determination of optimum focus, the focusing system is returned to the focusing configuration established in the initial focusing step, and an image is created using the entire two-dimensional photodetector. Optimum illumination is determined using the same two-dimensional photodetector.

    摘要: A medical video endoscope system for allowing high-resolution three-dimensional images to be viewed has a stereoscopic endoscope for converting optical images of an object to left and right video image signals. An electronic processor module controls the stereoscopic endoscope and processes the left and right video image signals into time-multiplexed signals representative of high-resolution three-dimensional images having stereoscopic depth. The time-multiplexed signals are provided to a monitor which displays high-resolution video images based on the signals. A viewing device is provided which allows a viewer to see high-resolution three-dimensional video images having stereoscopic depth on the monitor. A rigid sheath assembly with an angled distal tip can be placed over a barrel of the endoscope and rotated with respect thereto in order to change the viewing direction of the stereoscopic endoscope. A conventional two-dimensional endoscope can be coupled to the three-dimensional medical video system by using a camera head designed to convert the two-dimensional optical images generated by the conventional endoscope into left and right signals which are then processed by the system as if they were received from a stereoscopic endoscope to create a two-dimensional video image.

    摘要: An image input device is provided in which an optical deflector is positioned to divide the image of an object into a plurality of sub-images and to deflect the sub-images to an image sensor via an imaging lens. The images sensed by the image sensor are stored in a memory and combined by an image processor to form a composite image of the object. A hybrid zoom arrangement allows the magnification of an image on a display to be adjusted both mechanically and electronically. Techniques and circuitry for image processing allow a user to remove undesirable motion blur from the real time image and allow an input image to be patch-wise warped into an output image. An optical encoder for accurately determining the position of a deflector such as a mirror has also been provided.

    摘要: A beam of light issued by a light source enters a catadioptric arrangement and initially travels therethrough along an axis. At least one lens is situated at the axis and is axially delimited by two curved major surfaces having respective centers of curvature. The beam of light is reflectively diverted from the axis and travels in a path which includes a path section that is directed at one of the major surfaces and has such a spatial orientation relative to the axis and the major surfaces that light traveling in this path section bypasses the centers of curvature and impinges all regions of the major surfaces at angle deviating from respective normals to the regions with attendant avoidance of specular retroreflection from such regions.

    摘要: A coaxial illuminator adapted for surgical coaxial illumination and viewing including an opaque housing defining a longitudinal axis and having a tilted, anti-reflection coated window located at one end of the housing. A beamsplitter is located within the housing and is positioned so as to reflect light, from a light source, along the longitudinal axis of the housing through the window to illuminate the object and to permit image light from the object being viewed to pass along the longitudinal housing through the beamsplitter. An absorber is positioned to absorb light which passes from the light source through the beamsplitter unreflected.
