Abstract: A process for applying fiber optical bundles comprising optical fibers for isual and measurement-related purposes is provided, in which process light is coupled into the fiber optical bundle on a launching side and is extracted from said fiber optical bundle on an output side. In so doing, the individual optical fibers are labelled on the output side, and following separation of the optical fibers, their output-sided representation of the coordinates are determined through threshold formation. Then the optical fibers determined on the output side are defined on the launching side; and their coordinates are also defined. Finally the position of the individual optical fibers at the output end are converted to the coordinates of the respective optical fiber at the launching end.

Abstract: A process for reconstructing a picture coupled into a fiber optical bundle 1) comprising optical fibers (2) is provided. It is immaterial for this process whether the optical fibers (2) are parallel or totally random in the fiber optical bundle (1). The prerequisite is that the launching sided and output sided coordinates of each optical fiber (2) are known.The picture coupled into the launching side (3) is reconstructed with the aid of the gray tones passed on by the optical fibers (2) to the output side (4). To this end a grid (5), comprising grid field (6) that are connected together without any gaps, is laid over the launching sided arrangement of the optical fibers (2).
