Abstract:
The color uniformity of a light spot is measured by providing an image of the light spot by means of a camera or camera sensor with sensor elements, each of the sensor elements capturing a set of three or more color component values that together define a set of pixel values at such sensor element, wherein the image includes a plurality of sets of pixel values. The method also derives for each of the plurality of sets of pixel values at a corresponding sensor element a first ratio between a first pair of the pixel values or of values obtained therefrom in such set. Preferably a second ratio is also derived between a second pair of the pixel values or of values obtained therefrom in such set, where the second pair is different from the first pair. Where the sensor elements used each provides a single intensity value instead of multiple pixel values of different colors, light is projected onto a spot of the camera or camera sensor along an optical path with a different one of three or more different color filters sequentially in the path. For each sensor element a first ratio is derived between a first pair of the intensity values of different colors provided by such sensor element or of values obtained therefrom and preferably also a second ratio is derived between a second pair of the intensity values of different colors or of values obtained therefrom provided by such sensor element different from the first pair.
Abstract:
A state determination method is provided that is capable of determining at least one of the state of degradation of oil in a machine and the state of breakage of the machine with higher accuracy than conventional methods. A state determination method for determining the state of degradation of lubricating oil in a speed reducer and the state of breakage of the speed reducer is characterized by: transmitting white light emitted by a white LED through the lubricating oil, causing an RGB sensor to detect the color of the light transmitted through the lubricating oil by the white LED, and calculating the brightness of the color detected by the RGB sensor (S201); calculating a color component maximum difference that is the difference between a maximum value and a minimum value among the R value, G value, and B value of the color detected by the RGB sensor (S202); and determining the states on the basis of the brightness calculated in S201 and the color component maximum difference calculated in S202 (S203, S207).
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a light emitting device package includes forming a plurality of light emitting devices by growing a plurality of semiconductor layers on a wafer, and measuring color characteristics of light emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices. For each of the plurality of light emitting devices, a type and an amount of wavelength conversion material is determined for color compensating the light emitting device based on a difference between the measured color characteristics and target color characteristics. A wavelength conversion layer is formed on at least two light emitting devices among the plurality of light emitting devices, the wavelength conversion layer having the type and the amount of wavelength conversion material determined for the at least two light emitting devices. The plurality of light emitting devices is then divided into individual light emitting device packages.

Described are methods for automatically adjusting a set of display settings. At least one image sample is displayed at a first display according to display settings of the first display. Electromagnetic radiation generated from the first display is collected. The electromagnetic radiation includes first image data related to the at least one image sample at the first display. An image sample is displayed at a second display according to display settings of the second display. Electromagnetic radiation generated from the second display is collected. The electromagnetic radiation includes second image data related to the image sample at the second display. A margin of error is determined between the first image data and the second image data. The display settings of the second display are adjusted to reduce the margin of error.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for the quantitative determination of surface properties, wherein a spatially resolved image of a surface to be analysed, which contains a large number of measured values, is recorded. In a first method step, the measured values are analysed in order to determine those surface areas which have a specific physical property. A result value of this physical property is then determined, wherein this result value is characteristic of the values of the physical property of all those surface areas of the image determined by analyzing the image. According to the disclosure, the result value is displayed against the size of the determined surface areas.
Abstract:
A method that enables an internet user to determine whether an image viewed truly represents the color, clarity, and depiction of the item the image represents. A test pattern-like graphic, made up of a series of bars, shapes, lines, and shadings, is photographed or scanned alongside an item and published to the internet. The viewer compares the published graphic with a hardcopy of the same graphic. Inconsistencies in depiction between the two graphics enable the viewer to determine the extent to which the image appearing alongside the published graphic fairly represents the item the image represents. Revenue is generated through licensing of the graphic to both internet displayers and viewers as well as advertising space on the graphic. The graphic can appear in different versions and sizes through different media: hardcopy, digitized on the internet, broadcast television.
Abstract:
A solid state spectrometer unit cell or plurality of cells for sensing different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation at different depths within the substrate of the device. Variable bias voltages on one or more p-n junctions in the device are used so that the depth of the depletion regions are selectively varied. By varying the depletion region thickness of the p-n junctions in the device, the wavelengths absorbed by the semiconductor device and resultant electron-hole pairs collected by the p-n junctions are varied. In one embodiment, the outputs of each of two unit cell p-n junctions are sensed and the difference calculated and output to suitable circuitry for display as representative of a particular range or frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum.

This invention provides a display apparatus, control method, and control program, which display hue differences and color difference values of respective patches as lists, and display the hue direction of the hue difference of each individual patch on a chromaticity diagram in an easy-to-understand manner. To accomplish this, a display method of this invention includes a specifying step of specifying a color determined by a hue difference calculated from first and second values associated with spectral reflectance characteristics, and a display step of displaying the color specified in the specifying step as a graphical object. The specified color is specified as a representative color that indicates a hue on a chromaticity diagram to which the hue difference biases.
