    摘要: In a joint transform correlator, a technique that performs a correlation processing between two-dimensional images by using a coherent beam, this invention forms a feedback system in which two-dimensional correlation coefficients between at least one reference image and at least one signal image obtained as a result of a correlation processing are input to a linear or non-linear transfer function and in which the intensities of light passing through the reference images corresponding to the correlation coefficients are virtually changed according to the output of the transfer function. And then in this condition a similar correlation processing is performed. This loop of processing is repeated. In this case, when, in addition to an expression of the transfer function, other items--which include a dynamic range of the transfer function and a non-linear transfer function are used, the threshold values are changed according to such conditions as the number and kind of reference images and the distribution of correlation coefficients.

    摘要: An optical pattern recognition method which can be applied to a joint transform correlator operative to effect correlation processing between a plurality of reference images and at least a single object image to produce correlation peaks corresponding to the respective reference images. The joint transform correlator is provided with a feedback system effective to regulate the intensity of the respective reference images according to the corresponding correlation peak value so as to noise-shape the correlation peaks to discriminate most-correlated reference images. The pattern recognition method is carried out in the correlator sequentially by first preparing a plurality of initial groups each containing a given number of individual reference images and carrying out the pattern recognition of the object image with respect to each of the initial groups to discriminate each of the most-associated reference images having a maximum correlation coefficient in each initial group. Next, the discriminated most-associated reference images are regrouped into new groups, the number of groups is less than that of the initial groups, and the pattern recognition of the object image with respect to the new groups is again carried out so as to enable next regrouping. Then, the regrouping is repeatedly carried out so as to reduce the number of the groups to thereby form a final group and carrying out the pattern recognition of the object image using the final group of reference images to thereby determine a particular reference image corresponding to the object image.

    摘要: An optically addressed spatial light modulating system comprises a spatial light modulator using a liquid crystal material. A writing light irradiation device irradiates a writing light which records an image onto the spatial light modulator. A reading out light irradiation device irradiates a reading out light which is used to read out the recorded image from the spatial light modulator. A bias light irradiation device irradiates a bias light onto the spatial light modulator, and a bias light adjustment device changes at least one of the irradiation time and the light intensity of the bias light. A driving device supplies writing voltage signals to the spatial light modulator. The irradiation time of the write light and the irradiation time of the bias light overlap with the application time of the write voltage of the spatial light modulator for a predetermined amount of time for adjusting the sensitivity of the spatial light modulator. Thus, the changing of the recording sensitivity of the optically addressed spatial light modulator is facilitated. It is also possible to write data into the spatial light modulator operating at a high speed by changing the threshold of the write image and to record an image with low write light intensity.

By such construction, an extremely small holographic apparatus can be obtained to record and read the hologram in real time.

    摘要: In a joint transform correlator utilizing a spatial optic modulator, depending on the light intensity of each correlation peak obtained from optical correlation processing between at least one reference image and at least one input image, the light intensity passing through each reference image corresponding to each correlation peak is substantially adjusted so as to constitute a feedback system. By such construction, when processing a relatively large number of input or reference images, the correlator can avoid failure of recognition due to the reduction of light intensity of the correlation peaks and can avoid erroneous recognition to enable fast pattern recognition.

    摘要: To effectively utilize a luminous flux from a light source thereby realizing a reflecting type color image projecting apparatus having a high brightness. The apparatus includes three sheets of reflecting type optical writing liquid crystal light valves, means for writing images of respective color components to the respective reflecting type optical writing liquid crystal light valves, a polarized beam splitter for splitting a light source luminous flux into polarized light illuminating luminous fluxes, means for separating only a green component of one of the polarized light illuminating luminous fluxes, means for separating the other one of the polarized light illuminating luminous fluxes into a red component and a blue component and a projecting lens. A back focus from the projecting lens to the reflecting type optical writing liquid crystal light valves can be shortened and utilization efficiency of a luminous flux from a light emitting source can more be enhanced than a conventional reflecting type color image projecting apparatus.
