A third image frame is formed from at least a portion of the first image frame and a corresponding portion of the second image frame. The third image frame is formed such that the effect of the subject or content of the image is reduced or negated in the third image frame relative to the level of flicker. A flicker pattern is detected using the third image frame. Various techniques are described to capture the second image frame, and for determining the flicker pattern from the third image frame. The flicker pattern may be used to avoid or remove flicker from one or more images, or to correct a captured image. | 10-20-2011 |

20090030648 | Apparatus and Method of Measuring Workpieces - A method and apparatus for measuring a surface using a surface sensing device mounted on a scanning head on a member of a coordinate positioning apparatus. The coordinate positioning apparatus may be operated to produce relative movement between the scanning head and the surface profile and the scanning head includes a drive for producing rotational movement of the surface sensing probe about one or more axis. A desired measurement profile on the surface which the surface sensing device will track and the desired motion of the orientation of the surface sensing device as the surface' sensing device follows the measurement profile are defined. This data is used to derive the required path of the relative motion between the member of the coordinate positioning apparatus and the surface, such that the surface sensing device prescribes a trajectory along the measurement profile. | 01-29-2009 |
