  • Patent number: 7542186
    Abstract: A method of 3D holographic recording by using a very simple optical system includes dividing a femto-second laser pulse into a plurality of light beams by a diffraction beam splitter, focusing four light beams selected from the divided plurality of light beams, controlling each optical phase of the selected four light beams by a phase retarder, and further focusing these four light beams into a sample comprised of a photosensitive material capable of multi-photon exposure so that the photosensitive material is exposed to the interference among the four light beams and multi-photon absorption in the sample is induced, thus recording a 3D phase hologram on the irradiated portion of the sample.

  • Patent number: 7076099
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a simple and accurate process for extracting an object from an image, which is used to impose a great load for an operator. According to the present invention, an image processing apparatus comprises an object extracting unit, for performing a predetermined process for image data for a position or an area that is designated and for extracting a specific object from an image, an outline part deciding unit, for selecting and authenticating an arbitrary segment of an outline obtained by the extracting unit, and an outline synthesis unit, for linking and synthesizing together the outline segments that are authenticated. Since a closed curve is formed by synthesizing the outline segments obtained by repeating the above process, and the outline of the object is thus determined, the outline segment that is extracted from the image and matches the correct outline of the object is sequentially selected and authenticated.

  • Patent number: 6987535
    Abstract: A user photographs an image including an object to be extracted, uses an instruction selection unit or the like to designate an extraction range, and an object extraction circuit performs extraction. The image data of an extracted object area is compressed/encoded, and stored together with photographing conditions into a storage unit. Subsequently, a background image is photographed or inputted. While the background image is displayed, the previously extracted object image is read from the storage unit. To suppress a difference in gradation and hue between the background image and the object image, the gradation and hue of the object image are adjusted, mixing and smoothing with the background image are performed in the vicinity of an object outline, and the object image is overwritten, synthesized, and displayed on the background image. The position and size of the object image are adjusted according to a user's instruction. Synthesized image data is recorded in a recording medium.
