Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for colour coding digital images of fluorescent objects on a computer-aided table scanner. The device consists of a colour scanner provided with an ultraviolet lamp as light source, a reflecting band highly fluorescent in the visible as auxiliary reference white and a cover whereof the surface in contact with the measured object is reflecting but not fluorescent.
Abstract:
CRT 형광면의 색도검사장치가 설치되어 온라인 자동 검사를 가능하게 한다. 지지부재가 설치되어, 형광면을 갖는 컬러 CRT 의 페이스패널을 지지한다. 자외선 광원이 지지부재 상에 놓인 형광면을 향해 자외선을 조사한다. 이동성 센서부가 조사된 자외선에 의해 형광면의 한 위치로부터 방출된 가시광을 감지하며 감지된 가시광의 적색, 녹색 및 청색 성분에 대한 색도신호를 출력한다. 판정부가 센서부로부터 출력된 색도신호를 수신하여 수신된 색도신호에 해당하는 색도값을 결정하며, 이렇게 결정된 색도값을 대응하는 설정값과 비교하여 색도값이 적당한지의 여부를 결정한다. 제어부는 센서부 및 판정부를 제어한다. 센서부는 감지하는 동안 페이스패널의 표면과 접촉하도록 놓여 제어부의 제어하에서 외부광의 영향을 방지한다.
Abstract:
An imaging system includes a light source configured to illuminate a target and a camera configured to image light responsively emitted from the target and reflected from a spatial light modulator (SLM). The imaging system is configured to generate high-resolution, hyperspectral images of the target. The SLM includes a refractive layer that is chromatically dispersive and that has a refractive index that is controllable. The refractive index of the refractive layer can be controlled to vary according to a gradient such that light reflected from the SLM is chromatically dispersed and spectrographic information about the target can be captured using the camera. Such a system could be operated confocally, e.g., by incorporating a micromirror device configured to control a spatial pattern of illumination of the target and to modulate the transmission of light from the target to the camera via the SLM according to a corresponding spatial pattern.
Abstract:
An apparatus for imaging a tooth having a light source with a first spectral range and a second spectral range. A polarizing beamsplitter (18) light having a first polarization state toward the tooth and directs light from the tooth having a second polarization state along a return path toward a sensor (68), wherein the first and second polarization states are orthogonal. A first lens (22) in the return path directs image-bearing light from the tooth, through the polarizing beamsplitter (18), toward the sensor (68), and obtains image data from the redirected portion of the light having the second polarization state. A long-pass filter (15) in the return path attenuates light in the second spectral range. Control logic enables the sensor to obtain either the reflectance image or the fluorescence image.
Abstract:
A reference-color measurement step of obtaining a reference-color measurement value by measuring a spectroscopic-radiation luminance of a light being emitted from a reference-color portion in a measurement direction, or a tristimulus value thereof, using a light-source-color measuring instrument 5, without irradiating the reference-color portion with a light source for measurement, in a predetermined measurement environment; an objective-portion measurement step of obtaining an objective-portion measurement value by measuring a spectroscopic-radiation luminance of a light being emitted from a measurement-objective portion in the measurement direction, or a tristimulus value thereof, using the light-source-color measuring instrument 5, without irradiating the measurement-objective portion with a light source for measurement, in the measurement environment; and a color identification step of finding a color of the measurement-objective portion by means of computation from a ratio of the objective-portion measurement value with respect to the reference-color measurement value are equipped. Even when measuring a color of such a body, like a body including a fluorescent material, whose reflectivity has changed depending on the type of light source, it is possible to measure the color of such a body accurately.
Abstract:
A method for outputting a closest match of a plurality of electronically stored shade guide values of a dental shade guide system is disclosed. A protective tip including a hole for couples light from a probe to a measurement spot on a dental object. The probe is in proximity to a reference standard and a calibration/normalization measurement of the reference standard is taken. Light returned from the dental object is measured with an optical sensor. A first frequency proportional to an intensity of a first wavelength/spectral band of light is determined, a second frequency proportional to an intensity of a second wavelength/spectral band is determined, and a third frequency proportional to an intensity of a third wavelength/spectral band of light is determined. A closest match is selected of a plurality of electronically stored shade guide values of one or more dental shade guide systems.
