An Auto-Focusing Method in a Microscopic Testbed for Optical Discs
نویسندگان
چکیده
An auto-focusing method in a digital image system is demonstrated that uses a standard deviation of pixel gray levels as a feedback signal. In this system, an optical microscope and a charge coupled device (CCD) camera are used to create clear pit images of optical discs. A dynamic focusing scheme is designed in the system-control software, which is able to eliminate environmental disturbances and other noises so that a fast and stable focus can be achieved. The method shows an excellent focusing accuracy. The performance and possible applications of this method are discussed. The test results for optical discs are given in this paper.

Evaluations of Auto-Focusing Methods under a Microscopic Imaging Modality for Metaphase Chromosome Image Analysis
BACKGROUND Auto-focusing is an important operation in high throughput imaging scanning. Although many auto-focusing methods have been developed and tested for a variety of imaging modalities, few investigations have been performed on the selection of an optimal auto-focusing method that is suitable for the pathological metaphase chromosome analysis under a high resolution scanning microscopic s...
متن کاملImaging and Analysis of Auto-Ignition and Heavy Knock in a Full Bore Optical SI Engine
The work involved a fundamental study of auto-ignition under unusually high knock intensities for an optical spark ignition engine. The single-cylinder research engine adopted included full bore overhead optical access capable of withstanding continuous peak in-cylinder pressures of up to 150bar. A heavy knock was deliberately induced under relatively low loads using inlet air heating and a pri...
متن کاملMethod for auto-alignment of digital optical phase conjugation systems based on digital propagation.
Optical phase conjugation (OPC) has enabled many optical applications such as aberration correction and image transmission through fiber. In recent years, implementation of digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) has opened up the possibility of its use in biomedical optics (e.g. deep-tissue optical focusing) due to its ability to provide greater-than-unity OPC reflectivity (the power ratio of...
متن کاملThe effect of cationic surfactant on the structure, morphology and optical band gap of ferrites synthesized by a microwave sol–gel auto-combustion method
Cu and Ni ferrites as the semiconductor materials were synthesized by a microwave sol-gel auto-combustion method. Two cationic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), were applied and the influence of surfactants on the properties of the Cu and Ni ferrite particles was studied. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern,...
متن کاملAn Experimental Testbed to Enable Auto-dynamic Difficulty in Modern Video Games
Providing gameplay that is satisfying to a broad player audience is an appealing goal to game developers. Considering the wide range of player skill, emotional motivators, and tolerance for frustration, it is simply impossible for developers to deliver a game with an appropriate level of challenge and difficulty to satisfy all players using conventional techniques. Auto-dynamic difficulty, howe...
