  • FILM THICKNESS GAUGE BY NEAR-INFRARED HYPERSPECRAL IMAGING
    Publication number: 20220082371
    Abstract: The present teachings include a method of measuring an entire film thickness. The method may include forming a polymeric film (10) and measuring the thickness of the film (10) with a camera (20) collecting spatial and spectral images of a plurality of points at one time. The camera may collect a line image from a line of the film. The camera may be a hyperspectral near-infrared camera. In analyzing raw data collected during the measuring step, fringes of the raw data may be corrected using a classical least squares analysis.

  • Targeted image transformation of skin attribute
    Patent number: 8401300
    Abstract: Targeted attribute transformation involves obtaining a digital image of the skin, selecting an individual skin attribute (an imperfection, such as a blemishes, pores, or wrinkles), extracting the individual skin attribute from the digital image by linear digital filtering on all the color channels, to obtain a contrast map in all three channels of the individual attribute, and adding or subtracting a fraction of the contrast map to the initial image, to obtain the skin image with transformed selected skin attribute.
