  • Patent number: 10645255
    Abstract: A system and method for calibrating an endoscope having the camera and the light source close to each other in an enclosed environment. The system includes a colour chart plate, being specularly reflecting, having radially extending colour patches, and a circular central achromatic bright field that can handle the automatic gain control of the camera. The colour chart can be mounted into a container unit having mechanically connected holders to support the endoscope arm.

  • Publication number: 20140139541
    Abstract: An optical microscope digital image processing emulator or emulation is described in which a user input device is used to assist in the emulation of an operation of an optical microscope in a digital image processing system. The emulator or emulation is programmable via a library of processing functions stored in memory. The input device is adapted to generate control signals based on a user input, and to transfer the control signals to a processor, the processor being adapted to alter one or more parameters of the processing functions based on the control signals. Embodiments of the present invention emulate the same control and responsiveness found with an optical microscope on a digital pathology computer system, thereby improving the workflow of pathology specialists by allowing better and faster control over the way images are presented.

  • Publication number: 20070120763
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for displaying a plurality of video signals on one single display. According to embodiments of the present invention a plurality of display systems can be replaced by one display system being fully backwards compatible without the need to change any software or hardware components such as application software, graphical boards, . . . The present invention can also guarantee that even though a plurality of displays are being replaced by one single display still individual characteristics of those plurality of displays are being retained by the new display.

  • Patent number: 6950098
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for real time correction of light output and/or colour of an image displayed on a display device. The system comprises:a display device (1) comprising an active display area (6) for displaying the image, an image forming device (2) and an electronic driving system (4) for driving the image forming device (2), an optical sensor unit (10) comprising an optical aperture (21) and a light sensor (22) having an optical axis, to make optical measurements on a light output from a representative part of the active display area (6) of the image forming device (2) and generating optical measurement signals (11) therefrom, a feedback system (12) receiving the optical measurement signals (11) and on the basis thereof controlling the electronic driving system (4).
