Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of spectral-based representation of pixels on a line which is illuminated with light so as to produce a linear image, whereupon the linear image is transformed into a two-dimensional image in such a way that each column in the two-dimensional image can represent spectral divisions of the light which is reflected by corresponding points in the linear image, whereupon at least one total which can represent spectral characteristics for a pixel on the line is formed as a result of weighted pixels being totalized in columns.
- the spectral-based representation of pixels is desirable when classifying objects on the basis of their colour.
- the detected light can be divided into different spectral bands. If, for example, the object is red, the intensity for the divided light predominates principally in the red area.
- the currently known method generally uses a conventional sensor, the entire two-dimensional image being read out and converted in an analogue-to-digital manner.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for facilitating more rapid spectral-based representation of pixels on a line. This object is achieved in that a variable number of rows are read out from the two-dimensional image, and in that the image contents in the rows read-out are totalized in columns in an analogue manner.
- the values of rows are weighted by using different exposure times for the rows in the two-dimensional image.
- a weighted row value is approximated by analogue totalizing of the row to be weighted and rows lying in close proximity thereto.
- FIG. 3 shows the manner in which different weighting can be attained by totalizing the frequency rows to be weighted and a number of rows adjacent thereto.
- the reference sign 1 generally designates an optical system which comprises an objective 2, a gap 3, through which a linear image can be received, and a prism 4 by means of which the linear image can be transformed into a two-dimensional image.
- the two-dimensional image is transferred to a two-dimensional optical sensor 5 which is preferably adapted to carry out given image- processing on the image detected by the sensor.
- the sensor can be connected to any type of data system in which final evaluation is performed as necessary.
- the procedure can be carried out by using an optical sensor which enables any rows in a two-dimensional image to be read out. Reading out can be of the type which is non ⁇ destructive but it can also be of the destructive type.
- a two-dimensional optical sensor which has given inherent possibilities for signal processing
- a sensor of the MAPP 2200 type produced by Integrated Vision Products AB.
- This sensor consists of an array of a number of photodiodes and comprises a built-in processor which can carry out parallel processing of a row of pixels.
- the sensor is constructed so that the rows to be processed can be selected in any order and read out without affecting the other data in the image. However, the reading out operation results in the data in the read-out rows being destroyed.
- the transformed image can impinge on the two-dimensional array of photodiodes which forms the sensor element in the optical sensor (MAPP 2200).
- the rows which are of especial interest are processed in the image-processing circuit. Since these rows in the sensor correspond to given frequencies or frequency ranges, the addressing in terms of rows entails given frequencies being removed for further processing. It will be appreciated that the actual frequencies are determined by the actual application. It is, therefore, important that the addressed rows can be varied. The total corresponding to a given spectral characteristic is accordingly obtained by analogue totalizing of the rows read out.
- the frequencies in question in the recorded spectrum are preferably totalized in a weighted manner.
- N s c (i) ⁇ j f(i,j) (l)
- a number of totals is formed which correspond to a number of classes c.
- the totals formed can, for example, be used directly for classifying the pixel by selecting the class c for which the above-mentioned total S c (i) is the greatest.
- the frequency components can only occur once when this sensor is used for implementing the method, is that the data stored in the sensor are destroyed during subsequent image- processing.
- the frequency components can be freely re-used in the totalizing process.
- a further variant for calculating the totals S c (i) is to totalize in an analogue manner a number of rows in the vicinity of the frequency in question. In this way, it should be possible to to approximate 3 «f(i, x) according to the following
- the preferred arrangement for implementing the method according to the invention cannot be used in the above manner when negative coefficients have to be processed in the totals S c (i) since negative exposure is not possible.
- the signal-processing circuits are thus used in order to carry out this subtraction. For example, the positive coefficients are added first individually and the negative coefficients are added individually, whereupon necessary subtraction can be carried out in very different ways depending on which type of signal-processing circuits are used.
- the method according to the invention can be regarded as a method of reducing pixel data by the formation of linear combinations.
- a vector can be created for each pixel which has fewer dimensions than the original vector.
- the magnitude in the case of this vector depends to a certain extent on the degree of precision required when the information is subsequently processed.
- the information which is obtained when the method according to the invention has been applied is consequently a measure of the spectral characteristics of a large number of pixels; a number of reduced vectors to which further operations can be applied.
- linear or non-linear classification can be used.
- the classification can be brought about directly in the actual totalizing processes, only simple comparisons between the total values obtained having to be made.
- the method according to the invention is suitable for rapid inspection and can, therefore, advantageously be used when material which is conveyed along a running track is inspected.
- An application which is advantageous in this respect is when the camera is used for detecting defects in wood.
- the method can be applied in particular for finding defects which cause the colour to differ from the surrounding wood, such as bruising, rotting, random marks, etc. Generally, differences in colour caused by these defects are too small to be detected using conventional colour camera technology whilst the speed requirement is too great for conventional spectrometry technology to be used at a reasonable cost.
- a further suitable area of application is the inspection of paper.
- the method according to the invention can advantageously be used for checking that paper running along a track is of the correct colour.
