Patent number: 9554107Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording a composite image from a lens array are disclosed. A first composite image is recorded using a first lens providing imaging data in a first color, a second lens providing imaging data in a second color, and a third lens providing imaging data in a third color, wherein the first, second, and third colors are different colors. A second composite image is recorded using the first lens, a fourth lens providing imaging data in the second color, and a fifth lens providing imaging data in the third color. The first and second composite images are compared to identify color fringed areas. Based on the relative size and location of the color fringed areas in the first and second composite images, a de-fringing algorithm is applied to at least one of the composite images to mitigate the color fringing in the color fringed areas.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Johannes Elg, Daniel Linåker, Jonas Gustavsson, Mats Wernersson, Allan Johansson

Publication number: 20070163737Abstract: A porous, starch-based pigment and filler product, which comprises a foam, which contains foam bubbles, the average size of which is less than approximately 10 micrometres, and a method of manufacturing it. From the starch, microporous foam can be prepared, which can be stabilized to microcapsules. By means of a suitable choice of the inner diameter and the wall thickness of these capsules the light scattering ability of the material is maximized, which means that the structure has good opacity properties. Good strength properties in relation to the capsule mass is also characteristic of the micro capsule structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2004Publication date: July 19, 2007Applicant: Valtion Teknillinen TutkimuskeskusInventors: Allan Johansson, Pia Qvintus-Leino, Petri Varjos, Soili Peltonen, Hannu Mikkonen, Mauno Miettinen, Saija Luukkanen

Publication number: 20020060014Abstract: Raw material, energy and waste management are arranged in a production plant manufacturing pulp, paper, or board or a combination thereof from recycled fibres which is advantageously placed in the middle of a residential community or in its immediate vicinity. The plant has equipment for the manufacture of pulp and/or paper and/or board as well as equipment for the production of energy for at least the production plant's own needs. The production plant uses as fibre raw material waste paper and/or board generated by the residential community and as the source of energy combustible waste generated by the residential community. Moreover, it utilizes as far as possible waste fractions which are produced as by-products in production processes and which contain raw materials and energy either as raw material or as energy or, alternatively, these fractions are supplied outside the production plant for useful use.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2001Publication date: May 23, 2002Inventors: Kai Sipila, Allan Johansson, Markku Karlsson, Petri Ristola
