Abstract:
There is described a device (1) for offline inspection and color measurement of printed sheets for the production of banknotes and like printed securities, comprising (i) a console (10) having a supporting surface (10a) for supporting a sample printed sheet (S), (ii) a multipurpose measuring apparatus (20), which multipurpose measuring apparatus (20) comprises multiple sensors (22, 23) including at least one camera (22) for taking images of selected portions of the sample printed sheet (S) and a color measurement sensor (23) for performing spectrophotometric, colorimetric, and/or densitometric measurements at selected locations on the sample printed sheet (S), (iii) a display (30) for displaying the images taken by the camera (22) and the measurements performed by the color measurement sensor (23), and (iv) a control and processing unit (40) coupled to the multipurpose measuring apparatus (20) and the display (30). The device (1) comprises a moveable sensor beam (200) housing the multipurpose measuring apparatus (20), which moveable sensor beam (200) is displaceable along an x-axis over the supporting surface (10a) of the console (10) and over the entire surface of the sample printed sheet (S) located on the supporting surface (10a), the multiple sensors (22, 23) being mounted on a common sensor head (21) which is displaceable within the moveable sensor beam (200) along a y-axis so that the multipurpose measuring apparatus (20) can selectively take images of selected portions of the sample printed sheet (S) by means of the camera (22) or perform measurements at selected locations on the sample printed sheet (S) by means of the color measurement sensor (23). The control and processing unit (40) is configured to control displacement of the moveable sensor beam (200) along the x-axis and of the sensor head (21) along the y-axis.
Abstract:
A solid state image pickup device (31) in which a plurality of picture elements are arranged in two dimensions to pick up the image of the distribution in two-dimensional space of radiative ray, light beams, electrons, ions, etc., and which is characterized by an opening (34) piercing a substrate (33b) being provided at the roughly center of an image pickup part (33) where the picture elements are arranged, and a charge transfer path to connect charge transfer electrodes (33d) to read out the image of each picture element with one another being wired, avoiding the opening (34). Furthermore, the image pickup part (33) is divided into at least two regions with the boundary between them lying partially in the opening (34), and each region has an exclusive register for charge readout. Hereby, this image pickup device doubles as an image pickup device to pick up the two-dimensional distribution of radiative ray, etc. and an aperture to this radiation.
Abstract:
A portable hyperspectral imager. The imager is modular and may include a hyperspectral camera and a removably-coupled mobile display module. The hyperspectral camera may include an Offner spectrometer. The mobile display module may be adapted to receive data from the hyperspectral camera and may include an internal camera. The mobile display module may include a cell phone or a tablet computer. The mobile display module may be integrally attached to the hyperspectral camera. The integral attachment may include a data link or USB connection. The length of the data link or USB connection may be less than 6 inches and the imager may weigh less than one pound. The imager may include a battery module or a scanning optical module.
Abstract:
A multi-aperture imaging system comprising a first camera with a first sensor that captures a first image and a second camera with a second sensor that captures a second image, the two cameras having either identical or different FOVs. The first sensor may have a standard color filter array (CFA) covering one sensor section and a non-standard color CFA covering another. The second sensor may have either Clear or standard CFA covered sections. Either image may be chosen to be a primary or an auxiliary image, based on a zoom factor. An output image with a point of view determined by the primary image is obtained by registering the auxiliary image to the primary image.
