Abstract: A system for providing an adjusted image of a scene includes an optical assembly, a capturing system coupled to the optical assembly, and a control system. The optical assembly is adjustable to alternatively be focused on a first focal area and a second focal area that is different than the first focal area. The capturing system captures a first frame of the scene when the optical assembly is focused at the first focal area, and a second frame of the scene when the optical assembly is focused at the second focal area. The first frame includes a plurality of first pixels and the second frame includes a plurality of second pixels. The control system analyzes the first frame and the second frame and utilizes graph cuts techniques to assign a depth label to at least a portion of the first frame.

Abstract: The exposure apparatus of the present invention for forming a specified image on a substrate mounted on a substrate stage, has a linear motor as a part of a driving source for driving said substrate stage. The linear motor comprises: a magnet track; and a motor coil operating in cooperation with said magnet track and having a plurality of coil units, each of said coil units having an electrical conductor configured into a geometric polygonal shape defining a substantially planar conducting band surrounding a void, and wherein said plurality of coil units are arranged linearly.
