    摘要: To generate data for color pixels in an image, Bayer symmetric interleaved exposures can more evenly spread the long exposure pixels in the vertical direction and produce a higher dynamic range by having pixels with different exposure times interleaved within different rows. Long and short exposure pixels can be interleaved across two adjacent rows to form 4 pixel wide by 2 pixel tall blocks that are repeated across a Bayer pattern color array. In each block, the first row can be three long and one short exposure pixel; and the second row can be three short and one long exposure pixel. The long exposure pixels can form an “L” shaped pattern rotated 90 degrees clockwise; and the short exposure pixels can form an “L” shaped pattern rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Subsequent rows of the blocks may be offset horizontally to form diagonal bands of long and short exposure pixels.

    摘要: A multi-service user interface that facilitates access to and exchange of information between two or more people when communicating remotely over a broadband network. The interface allows users to move data on a display using gesture motions. Each gesture motion corresponds to a predetermined function. In addition, the interface includes visible reactive zones where a user can move data to implement a specific activity such as, sending a message to another person over the network or removing certain data from the display.

    摘要: A portable, self-contained, electronic radioscopic imaging system uses a pulsed X-ray source, a remote X-ray sensor, and a self-contained, display and controller unit to produce, store, and/or display digital radioscopic images of an object under investigation. An X-ray image sensor configured to spatially sense X-ray radiation pulses includes a pixel clock generator, an integrating CCD camera imager operating in a progressive scan mode providing a discrete pixel readout cycle of sensed X-ray radiation pulses, a sample and hold circuit for sampling the discrete pixel readout responsive to the pixel clock, and an analog to digital converter for digitizing each pixel as the discrete pixel readout is sampled. A digital video transmission system controller board controls the X-ray source for acquiring digitized samples from the X-ray image sensor. The digital video transmission system has a buffer memory for storing digitized pixels received from the analog to digital converter, and is further provided with a serial interface driver for transmitting the digitized pixels. An image processor receives the digitized pixels transmitted by the serial interface driver of the controller for generating a radioscopic image from the digitized pixels.

    摘要: Digital pixel data is obtained from radiographic imaging of one or more objects, and corresponds to an imaged area containing a feature to be measured. A data profile for a region around the measured feature is created from the digital pixel data. A reference profile is then created from the data profile. The reference profile represents an expected data profile for a reference condition of the objects, and accounts for the point spread function of the imager. The difference between the data profile and the reference profile is calculated. Based on that difference, the degree by which the actual condition of the objects varies from the reference condition is determined. The calculated difference can be compared to a lookup table mapping previously calculated differences to degrees of variation from the reference condition. The calculated difference can also be used as an input to an experimentally derived formula.
