Patent number: 9300936Abstract: A camera arrangement for image detection includes radiation-sensitive sensor elements arranged to record a common object plane in offset fields of view, a balancer and a shading corrector. The balancer is implemented, for balancing the sensor elements, to post-process for each sensor element a sensor signal of the respective sensor signal n by means of balancing information determined in balancing and stored, so that a variation of the intensity I of incoming radiation in the respective field of view leads to a change of the respective post-processed sensor signal according to a desired mapping function Fn(anI), the mapping functions Fn( ) of all factory-balanced sensor elements being identical, and an being a sensor-individual factor. The shading corrector is implemented on the basis of a recording generated by means of the camera arrangement with the sensor elements, to change the sensor element-individual factors an so that intensity differences of the recording are balanced across the common object plane.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Peter Schmitt, Guenther Kostka, Rolf Behrendt, Andreas Jobst, Matthias Kube

Patent number: 7875855Abstract: In order to detect an image generated by an image source, a mirror arrangement is arranged between the image source and a detector. The mirror arrangement includes two spaced-apart deflection mirrors, which are parallel to each other or form an acute angle of less than 90° between them. In particular when the image source is a scintillator layer, shielding of X-rays from the detector with simultaneous compact dimensioning of the apparatus is achieved in this manner.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Peter Schmitt, Guenther Kostka, Rolf Behrendt, Matthias Kube, Wolfgang Groeger

Publication number: 20090324128Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for reducing transition artifacts in an overall image composed of sub-images whose image areas have overlap areas. The apparatus includes a storer for storing image data of the pixels of the sub-images, and a generator for generating the overall image, on the basis of the image data of the sub-images by superposition of the image data of the pixels in the overlap area in accordance with a weighting, the weighting being configured such that any influence of a pixel of a sub-image which would cause an artifact in the overall image is reduced in the overall image.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2007Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Matthias Kube, Oliver Scholz, Rolf Behrendt

Patent number: 6276219Abstract: A motion controller for a motor-driven transportation truck or trolley with a steering pole that can be swivelled about a horizontal axis attached to a steering shaft or a steering frame and is provided with means for setting the direction of motion and the speed, characterized in that the steering pole is equipped with a sensor means providing an output signal that depends not only on the magnitude of the force applied to the steering pole, but also on whether this force is a push or a pull, and that the system also comprises a feed back controller unit that sets and/or regulates the speed and the direction of rotation of the driving motor according to this output signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1999Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: Jung Heinrich AGInventors: Matthias Kube, Ralf Baginski, Nikolaus Eggert
