Abstract: According to the invention, the saturation thresholds (thr; thg; thb) used for this detection depend on color coordinates (rw, gw, bw) representing an illuminant (ILL) of the image.

Abstract: A modular, offset In-line vacuum processing system is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of independently operable process chambers each configured to accommodate a given number of carriers, where each carrier may hold a set of independently biased substrates. Further, each process chamber may be configured to execute one or more steps in one or more processes performed on each set of substrates. A plurality of Independently operable transfer chambers may be configured to transfer each carrier to and from process chambers for completing each step in the one or more processes. As a result, the system is able to: simultaneously coat the sets of substrates via a designated coating process (i.e., unique to each set of carriers); obtain a set of desired coating properties for each set of parts; perform processes having varying process step lengths; coat parts of multiple geometries; shut down individual chambers without interrupting production capacity.

Abstract: The method comprises segmenting lines into regions of saturated pixels, and, for each of these saturated regions, selecting at least one color channel that is not saturated, then, for each pixel of said region, adding to the color information provided by the saturated color channel for said pixel a difference between the color information provided by the selected non-saturated color channel for said pixel and a baseline color value computed for the region of this pixel.
