| 20090129699 | Image processing system - The invention relates to an image processing system for omnidirectional reading of optical patterns, for example of one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090251601 | Method and device for synchronizing camera systems - The invention relates to a method and to a device for synchronizing the image capture by cameras. For this purpose, a duplex-capable network is provided. Within the network, one or more hardware-supported synchronization modules with a logical channel of a first type are provided, wherein the synchronization module or modules transmit, via the logical channel, image-capture signals that control the capture time of image sensors, wherein the image-capture signals are received by image-capture devices, and wherein the image-capture devices each capture an image as a response to the reception of an image-capture signal, and wherein the image data is then transmitted via the network by the image-capture devices via a logical channel of a second type. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100021058 | Method and Apparatus for Image Processing - The invention relates to an image processing apparatus by means of which an image identification can take place in real time and which, with only very little or even no a priori information, is capable of carrying out a pertinent and reliable identification of objects. To this end, the connection probabilities are determined between two contour points in each case, taking into account the distance between the points, by means of a computation mechanism. Further provided is at least one classifier, which takes sets of calculated connection probabilities and selects from them subsets with at least three connection probabilities for possible links between at least three adjacent contour points, one of which is a previously determined central contour point, and, for each subset, sorts out that contour point which is adjacent to the central contour point and which has a possible link with the lowest connection probability to an adjacent contour point, provided that the link does not connect two points that are adjacent to the central point, and subsequently enters the contour points that have not been sorted out in a contour point list with connectors that identify the remaining links to the central point. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110032265 | Pipelined computing device for connecting contour elements from image data - A pipelined computing device is provided that is designed i) to generate a list of coordinates of starting points and endpoints of chains and to store these in a memory, ii) for each starting point and endpoint, to search the list of coordinates of starting points and endpoints for the last occurrence of the same coordinates or coordinates lying within a neighborhood of a specified size, and iii) to allocate to each starting point or endpoint a vertex index and an instance index, wherein the vertex index is a running index of vertices and the instance index represents a running index of the starting points and endpoints belonging to a vertex, wherein associated points from the set of starting points and endpoints receive the same vertex index and are those points that have the same coordinates or coordinates that lie within the neighborhood of a specified size. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110134291 | Image-processing device for color image data and method for the image processing of color image data - A digital image-processing device with a Bayer sensor and an image memory is provided in which the image data of the sensor is written into an image memory, and from this image memory, image data in the Bayer format with a length L and a width B is written continuously into a data buffer, and in which the sample values are combined by means of a computational device with the help of adders, in each case symmetrically to a central point of one or more (2n+1)×(2n+1) neighborhoods, and one or more (n+1)×(n+1) matrices are derived by means of the computational device, and from this (n+1)×(n+1) matrix or these matrices, with the help of additional adders, at least one n×n matrix is formed, and a first color component is in each case calculated from this by means of an adder network. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20120002038 | MEASURING DEVICE FOR MEASURING DEFORMATIONS OF ELASTICALLY DEFORMABLE OBJECTS - A device and a process, for measuring deformations of an elastically deformable object, provides at least one optically detectable mark at a longitudinal position along the one elastically deformable object, as well as at least one camera with a matrix of photosensitive elements. The camera is directed towards the at least one optically detectable mark such that this is imaged on the matrix of photosensitive elements. The image data of the camera are sent to an image processing device, which is set up to determine the position of the mark on the matrix of photosensitive elements on the basis of an image recognition. A deviation of the position of the optically detectable mark from the at least one set point is determined and quantified by a computing device. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120008143 | DEVICE FOR DETERMINING PARTICLE SIZES - The invention generally relates to the determination of particle sizes. The invention relates, in particular, to the determination of the sizes of particles in a particle stream. For this purpose, a first optical measuring system having a first matrix sensor and a lighting means which lights up the measurement volume are provided, wherein the first matrix sensor and the lighting means form a transmitted-light arrangement, and wherein the computation device is set up to use the image data from the first matrix sensor to determine projection surfaces of particles inside the measurement volume which has been lit up, and wherein the optical measuring arrangement comprises a second optical measuring system having a second matrix sensor for detecting the diffraction pattern of the particle, and wherein the computation device is set up to use the projection surfaces and the diffraction pattern to determine a size distribution of the particle in the measurement volume, wherein the computation device is set up to form the size distribution from particle sizes determined using the projection surfaces and from particle sizes determined using the diffraction pattern. | 01-12-2012 |
