Abstract

The application relates to a method and a device for generating an anomaly map for the detection of defects of a production object. A production object image is divided into a plurality of image portions. An image portion vector is then determined for each image portion. Each element of the image portion vector indicates the presence of reference production object features in the associated image portion. In addition, for each image element an item of location information relating to the image portion is encoded in the image portion vector and an anomaly value is determined on the basis of the image portion vector. The anomaly value indicates a deviation of the image portion vector, said deviation being determined on the basis of at least one reference image portion vector. Finally, the anomaly map is generated on the basis of the anomaly values determined for the image portions. The anomaly values are arranged in the anomaly map on the basis of the items of location information.

Abstract

A method for operating a mobile terminal including an image recording device includes capturing at least one recording of a scene and checking at least one of optionally several recordings checked for the presence of a light source. Subsequently, a position of the light source is determined relative to an optical center and a shape, an intensity and/or a color is determined for the light source. An algorithm trained in relation to imaging properties of a given optical unit is then used to generate a flare image of a lens flare for this light source and the given optical unit using the position of the light source. The flare image is subsequently combined with the recording to form a combination image and the combination image is stored in a memory component.

Abstract

A manufacturing installation for producing a plurality of workpieces comprises a manufacturing machine having a moveable machine element, a machine controller configured to control the moveable machine element, and a metrology device configured to determine actual characteristics of a produced workpiece. A data set defining desired workpiece characteristics is obtained and a first workpiece is produced in a plurality of first successive manufacturing steps. A plurality of first process parameters are repeatedly recorded in order to obtain a respective first process parameter sequence for each first process parameter. First sequential mapping data associate each first control command with first process parameters recorded at the time when a respective first control command was executed. Deviations between the actual first workpiece characteristics and the desired workpiece characteristics are obtained by inspecting the first workpiece using the metrology device. Second control commands are determined on the basis of the deviations and on the basis of the first sequential mapping data. A second workpiece is produced using the manufacturing installation and the plurality of second control commands.

Abstract

Centration parameters for fitting spectacle lenses to a predetermined spectacle frame and to the head of a subject are determined with a computer-implemented method. At least two calibrated images, recorded from different recording directions, of the head of the subject wearing the spectacle frame are provided, wherein geometric parameters are established by geometric position determination. The geometric parameters describe the position of the eyes and the geometry of the spectacle frame, and the centration parameters are calculated from the geometric parameters. Further, a three-dimensional model for the spectacle lenses, which are to be received in the spectacle frame, is fitted to the geometry of the geometric parameters that describe the geometry of the spectacle frame.

Abstract

A method for forming an image of an object, a computer program product, and an image forming system for carrying out the method are provided. In the method, data about the object are provided by a first data processing device, and a first data record with first data is provided. The first data record is loaded from the first data processing device into a second data processing device. A second data record is loaded from a data memory into the second data processing device in dependence on the first data record loaded into the second data processing device. A processing data record is generated or detected based on the second data record. A two-dimensional output image of the object is generated by processing the data about the object with the processing data record, the output image having a predeterminable number of output image pixels.

Abstract

It is an object of the invention to improve processes, apparatuses and systems for measuring a measured variable. To this end, a measured variable is measured in a measuring process on the basis of an NV center as a quantum sensor. The NV center has a plurality of quantum states and is optically excitable on the basis of an occupancy of one of the quantum states into at least one excited state of the quantum states by means of an excitation light. The at least one excited state can decay at least with emission of emission light of the NV center. In the measuring process, the NV center is irradiated by the excitation light, the excitation light having a time periodic modulation, and a respective occupancy probability and/or a respective lifetime of the quantum states depending on the measured variable and the excitation light. A phase shift is determined between the emission light of the NV center and the modulation of the excitation light and a measurement value for the measured variable is determined on the basis thereof.

Abstract

A lens main body includes an inner housing, a lens element mounted on the inner housing, an adjustable functional element mounted on the inner housing, and an electrical drive arranged on the inner housing to adjust the functional element, a controller arranged on the inner housing, a securing device configured to reversibly receive an outer housing extending around the inner housing in a tubular fashion, and a first signal interface to receive control signals for the controller, arranged on the inner housing, and configured to reversibly couple to a mating interface of the outer housing. An outer housing for the lens main body, and a lens formed from the lens main body and the outer housing have an altered functional scope vis-à-vis the lens main body. In addition, a lens assembly includes, besides the lens main body, two outer housings having a different functional scope.
