Abstract:
A system for providing real-time control of a process that is monitored at a plurality of process locations by spectrometric techniques. The system utilizes an imaging spectrometer having an optical image input and a spectral image output. A plurality of modules are employed; one module is disposed in each process location. Each module has an illumination source for illuminating such location; a collector for collecting light that has been scattered at such location and directing such light to a collector output; and an optical fiber arranged to provide optical communication from the collector output to a pixel location of the optical image of the imaging spectrometer. In addition an optical transducer is placed in communication with the spectral image output of the imaging spectrometer. The optical transducer provides as an output, spectral data, associated with each pixel location of the optical image input and therefore associated with each process location, for the purpose of process control.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for representing expression in a tissue-like system. A finite-element model provides field values associated with the system while a graphical representation generator determines the surface of the tissue, and an expressive detail generator, which may include a wrinkle generator, modifies the surface determined by the graphical representation generator on the basis of an anisotropic model of tissue. A wrinkle map corresponding to a particular individual may be stored which associates compression of the skin in a direction orthogonal to stress contours with height displacements of the skin.
