Film scanning method and apparatus determining image offset from imaged film transport perforations
10681249 · 2020-06-09 · ·

Digitization of film, and more particularly film scanning, includes capturing light transmitted through the film so as to acquire a digitized image. This includes a captured frame comprising a digitized image of at least a portion of at least one image frame of a sequence of image frames, and at least a portion of one or more transport perforations. The method can further include determining an image offset corresponding to at least the captured frame on the basis of a comparison between at least one detected edge in the captured image and a corresponding datum location. A signal representing the image offset can be generated to enable alignment of at least the captured frame.

Methods and systems for automated presence verification, location confirmation, and identification of objects in defined zones
10671848 · 2020-06-02 · ·

Provided are methods and systems for automated location and identification of multiple objects in an aircraft cabin. A method utilizes a wireless client, RFID reader, and camera, which together form a set. Each set is associated with a specific inspection zone in the cabin. The RFID reader determines the presence of a RFID tag in only one zone. Further, the camera captures an image of that zone. A data feedback is generated based on both the image and the RFID reader response. The data feedback is transmitted by the wireless client to a router and is analyzed to determine the presence of the object in the inspection zone and, if present, the identity of the object. The data feedback is associated with the location of the zone in the aircraft cabin, which is known or may be determined using a set of wireless routers positioned throughout the cabin.

The applicant proposes a method and an apparatus to realize a faster, easier and more precise multispectral digitalization of films. The proposed method and apparatus ensure quality control of the multispectral film digitization using sensors and can correct the digital images for film shrinkage and deformation. This can allow for efficient digitization of films which can enable an effective automatization of the mass safeguarding of archived films. The proposed film digitizer apparatus can comprise a novel and improved light source module, which comprise a light assembly that can allow for better illumination of the film and shorter required exposure time that can lead to lower acquisition time for each of the various wavelength image acquisitions for each film image. Monitoring of the spectral distribution and/or the temperature of the light sources can ensure quality control of the digitalization.

A plurality of captured images obtained by repeatedly shooting a rotating object are obtained. In a case where a feature point corresponding to a certain point on the object is specified in one captured image and another captured image, a position information obtaining unit obtains position information relating to a position of the feature point in the one captured image and the another captured image. A rotation angle information obtaining unit obtains rotation angle information relating to a rotation angle of the object between a point of time when the one captured image is shot and a point of time when the another captured image is shot based on position information. A moving image data generating unit generates moving image data by selecting frame images of the moving image data from the plurality of photographed images based on rotation angle information of each of the plurality of photographed images.
