  • Patent number: 11340057
    Abstract: A system to generate image representations includes a first objective that receives a first light beam emitted from a sample and a second objective that receives a second light beam emitted from the sample, where the first light beam and the second light beam have conjugate phase. The system also includes a first diffractive element to receive the first light beam and separate it into a first plurality of diffractive light beams that are spatially distinct, and a second diffractive element to receive the second light beam and separate it into a second plurality of diffractive light beams that are spatially distinct. The system further includes a detector that receives the first and second plurality of diffractive light beams. The first plurality of diffractive light beams and the second plurality of diffractive light beams are simultaneously directed and focused onto different portions of an image plane of the detector.

  • Patent number: 7019713
    Abstract: An image pattern description is stored and tiled display test pattern images are captured. The stored image pattern description and at least one captured tiled display test pattern image are used to identify a tile array placement and layout; a tile registration measurement; and a dot grid measurement providing measured dot grid positions. At least one captured tiled display test pattern images and the measured dot grid positions are used for calculating tile-to-camera maps and a camera-to-mural map. The tile-to-camera maps and the camera-to-mural map are used to generate control and correction data.

  • Publication number: 20040085256
    Abstract: Methods and a measurement engine are provided for aligning multi-projector display systems. An image pattern description is stored and tiled display test pattern images are captured. The stored image pattern description and at least one captured tiled display test pattern image are used to identify a tile array placement and layout; a tile registration measurement; and a dot grid measurement providing measured dot grid positions. At least one captured tiled display test pattern images and the measured dot grid positions are used for calculating tile-to-camera maps and a camera-to-mural map. The tile-to-camera maps and the camera-to-mural map are used to generate control and correction data.
