Abstract: A terminal for measuring at least one dimension of an object includes a range camera, a visible camera, and a display that are fixed in position and orientation relative to each other. The range camera is configured to produce a range image of an area in which the object is located. The visible camera is configured to produce a visible image of an area in which the object is located. The display is configured to present information associated with the range camera's field of view and the visible camera's field of view.

Abstract: Generation of feedback for a part production process based on vibrational testing of parts produced by the part production process. A response characteristic may be identified from vibrational data regarding the parts that is correlated to a process variable of the part production process. The response characteristic may relate to a state of the process variable such that identification of the response characteristic may allow for generation of feedback regarding adjustment of a process control. Such response characteristic may relate to a vibrational metric regarding vibrational data and may comprise identifying a trend in data between a plurality of parts. Also presented are approaches to evaluation of parts, including batch evaluation of parts in which collective vibrational data regarding a plurality of parts belonging to a batch are analyzed. The process control aspects may be performed independently or in combination with part evaluation.

Abstract: In a three-dimensional model generating method, a predetermined plane element defining a three-dimensional model element is selected from measurement data, which includes measurement point group data obtained by measuring a measured object, a type of a plane element, and geometric values of the plane element; a condition required for generating the three-dimensional model element is obtained; the three-dimensional model element is generated using the selected plane element and the obtained condition; and the three-dimensional model of the measured object is generated using one or a plurality of three-dimensional model elements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing a number of display devices. Images displayed on the number of display devices are received by a computer system for a platform during a performance of a number of tests at a number of test locations for the platform. A portion of the images from the images are identified as a number of images of interest using a policy.

Abstract: Signal processing techniques are applied to digital image data to remove the distortion caused by motion of the camera, or the movement of the subject being photographed, or defective optics, or optical distortion from other sources. When the image is captured, the effect of relative motion between the camera and the subject is that it transforms the true image into a blurred image according to a 2-dimensional transfer function. The 2-dimensional transfer function representing the motion is derived using blind estimation techniques or by using information from sensors that detect the motion. The transfer function is inverted and used to define a corrective filter. The filter is applied to the image and the blur due to the motion is removed, restoring the correct image. Another embodiment uses the transfer function to avoid blur by combining multiple consecutive images taken at a fast shutter speed.

Abstract: A head of a spliced film is transported to downstream side along a path by feed roller pairs, nip roller pairs and transport roller pairs; while the head of the spliced film is detected by a sensor located before a transport merging portion, the nip roller pairs are stop to rotate; a joint of the spliced film is detected based on a signal from a splice sensor; the spliced film is cut by a film cutter at the joint; and the head photographic film is separated from the spliced film and images are read.

Abstract: A method for producing electronic signals representative of images on a source film includes the following steps: illuminating the film with a light source to obtain an illuminated frame; providing an electronic image sensor; providing a lens array for projecting the illuminated frame on the electronic image sensor, and providing an aperture in conjunction with the lens array for high spatial frequency cutoff in the image; and reading out image representative electronic signals from the electronic image sensor.

Abstract: In an arrangement in which an image captured by photography is recorded on new-type photographic film having an information recording zone for magnetically recording information relating to the film or frames on the film, information concerning the aspect ratio of the image is exploited in an effective manner and the aspect ratio is capable of being altered at will. The image recorded on the new-type photographic film and the aspect ratio information in the information recording zone are read by a film scanner. Original digital image data obtained by the reading operation, length X and width Y of the image and effective image size data (length A and width B) generated from the aspect ratio information are recorded on a floppy disk or optical disk by a disk device. When an original image represented by the original digital image data obtained from the floppy or optical disk is displayed, the size thereof is made that stipulated by the effective image size.

Abstract: The timing by which a CCD camera drive circuit 7 switches the operating state of an interline CCD camera 5 from a charge sweep-out operating state to an exposure operating state is delayed by a control circuit 10 in relation to the time at which measured light R is emitted by a sample 9, making it possible to reduce the noise generated in the interline CCD camera 5 by a neutron beam emitted by the sample 9 concurrently with the measured light R.
