Abstract:
A printer includes a spectroscope that includes a wavelength-selective interference filter on which light from a measurement target is incident and a carriage moving unit that moves the spectroscope in an X direction with respect to the measurement target. The wavelength-selective interference filter includes a pair of reflecting films and an electrostatic actuator that changes a gap dimension between the pair of reflecting films. A first spectroscopic measurement process that performs spectroscopic measurement while the gap dimension between the reflecting films is decreasing and a second spectroscopic measurement process that performs spectroscopic measurement while the gap dimension is increasing are alternately performed during the movement of the spectroscope by the carriage moving unit in the X direction.
Abstract:
What is disclosed is a system and method for processing image data acquired using a multi-band infrared camera system with a spectral mosaic filter arranged in a geometric pattern without having to perform a demosaicing that is typical with processing data from an array of sensors. In one embodiment, image data that has been captured using a camera system that has a spectral filter mosaic comprising a plurality of spectral filters arrayed on a grid. A material index is determined, using intensity values collected by sensor elements associated with a cell's respective spectral filters. All of the material indices collectively generate a material index image. Thereafter, material identification is performed on the material index image using, for example, pixel classification. Because the demosaicing step can be effectively avoided, image processing time is reduced. The teachings hereof find their uses in a wide array of applications including automated HOV/HOT violation detection.

A spectrometer is shown comprising at least light sensor arrangements of the aforementioned kind.
Abstract:
In the color imaging system, multiple rendering devices are provided at different nodes along a network. Each rendering device has a color measurement instrument for calibrating the color presented by the rendering device. A rendering device may represent a color display in which a member surrounds the outer periphery of the screen of the display and a color measuring instrument is coupled to the first member. The color measuring instrument includes a sensor spaced from the screen at an angle with respect to the screen for receiving light from an area of the screen. A rendering device may be a printer in which the measuring of color samples on a sheet rendered by the printer is provided by a sensor coupled to a transport mechanism which moves the sensor and sheet relative to each other, where the sensor provides light from the sample to a spectrograph. The color measuring instruments provide for non-contact measurements of color samples either displayed on a color display, or printed on a sheet, and are self-calibrating by the use of calibration references in the instrument.
