摘要:
There is provided a light detection system which is capable of determining in light embedded codes by detecting light in a scene which is illuminated by an illumination system (110) comprising one or more light sources (111,112,113) each providing a light contribution (I111, I112, I113) comprising an embedded code (ID#1, ID#2, ID#3) emitted as a temporal sequence of modulations in a characteristics of the light emitted. The light detection system comprises light detection means (220), which are arranged for acquiring at least one image of the scene, where the image is acquired a plurality of temporal shifted line instances. Each line of the acquired image comprises an instance of the temporal sequence of modulations of the first embedded code. The light detection system further comprises means (230) for determining embedded codes from the spatial pattern of modulations.

A camera and camera system is provided with an optical device (8). The optical device creates simultaneously two or more images of object on a sensor (4) forming a compound image. The distance d between the constituting images of objects in the compound image is dependent on the distance Z to the camera. The compound image is analyzed (9), e.g. deconvolved to determine the distances d between the double images. These distances are then converted into a depth map (10).

A system and method that measures an optical focus of a distant optical imaging system (EYE), in particular the ocular accommodation of a distant human subject. A luminous pattern of light (P1, A1) is projected by a projector (P) in focus (A2) at a known focal plane (FPL1) in front of the distant optical imaging system (EYE), and an image of the reflection of the pattern (A3) on a sensor surface of the distant optical imaging system (EYE), for instance the retina of an eye, is recorded by a camera (CAM) having an optical axis (AXCAM) coinciding at least partly with or situated close to the optical axis (AXP) of the projection device (P). The sharpness of the luminous pattern (A3) reflected from the sensor surface (retina) is determined.

A tracking error (TE) signal is formed from a single spot on a photodetector 25 to improve the robustness in optical disc applications having a reduced track-pitch. Reduced track pitches are employed in high data capacity optical disc formats. By using high frequency cross-correlation of a central aperture signal, the differences within the left 21 and right 23 detector halves yield a divergence from the zero crossing that produces a more pronounced tracking signal. The more pronounced tracking signal is insensitive to incoherent cross talk in multi-layer discs.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for robust tracking at narrow track-pitches on optical discs, enabling higher densities on Blu-ray Discs (5) as well as near-field discs. Increasing radial density results in loss of radial diffraction within the numerical aperture of the lens. Due to this loss in diffraction, current tracking methods, such as Push-Pull and Differential Phase Detection (DPD), will stop working. The invention provides a method and apparatus that relies on cross-correlating the central aperture (CA) signals of 3 optical spots (22, 24, 26) that are positioned such that there are a central spot (24) and spots (22, 26) positioned to the left (22) and right (26) of the central spot (4). By using CA signals, the tangential diffraction is used, which is hardly affected by a track-pitch reduction.
摘要:
A record carrier has information represented by high density read-only marks in a track. The read-only marks (74,75) are optically readable according to a predefined high-density data format such as CD or DVD via a beam of radiation by first variations of the radiation. The record carrier has a recordable layer (70) for writing recorded marks (72,73) in a recording area of the record carrier, which recording area extends over the track (9) carrying the read-only marks. The recordable layer (70) is arranged to generate second variations of the radiation by a difference between an unrecorded state and a recorded state. A recording device writes recorded marks on top of the read-only marks. A read device recovers the first and second variations, and detects the read-only marks and the recorded marks from a same part of the track.
摘要:
A series of structured lighting patterns are projected on an object. Each successive structured lighting pattern has a first and second subset of intensity features such as edges between light and dark areas. The intensity features of the first set coincide spatially with intensity features from either the first or second subset from a preceding structured lighting pattern in the series. Image positions are detected where the intensity features of the first and second subset of the structured lighting patterns are visible in the images. Image positions where the intensity features of the first subset are visible are associated with the intensity features of the first subset, based on the associated intensity features of closest detected image positions with associated intensity features in the image obtained with a preceding structured lighting pattern in said series. Image positions where the intensity features of the second subset are visible, between pairs of the image positions associated with intensity features of the first subset, with intensity features of the second subset between the intensity features associated with the pair of positions. The associated intensity features in a final structured lighting pattern of the series are used to identify the intensity features of the final structured lighting pattern for the determination of 3D surface position information.
摘要:
The invention relates to a detection system for determining whether a light contribution of a light source is present at a selected position within a 2D scene. The light contribution includes an embedded code comprising a repeating sequence of N symbols. The detection system includes a camera and a processing unit. The camera is configured to acquire a series of images of the scene via specific open/closure patterns of the shutter. Each image includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel representing an intensity of the light output of the light source at a different physical position within the scene. The processing unit is configured to process the acquired series of images to determine whether the light contribution of the first light source is present at the selected physical position within the scene by e.g. correlating a sequence of pixels of the acquired series corresponding to the selected physical position with the first sequence of N symbols.
摘要:
A camera and system comprising a camera in which, during exposure, the ratio of the distance between the lens and the sensor and the focal length is changed. The rate of change is set such that motion invariant imaging is achievable for practical speed ranges, i.e. speed of up to at least 5 km/hour at 2 meter distance of the lens, by deconvoluting the compound image. Preferably the achievable speed range is at least twice as high. A linear motion of the sensor is preferred.
