Abstract
- We considered the issue of color mixing from the viewpoint of gray scale images and investigated the effect of the mixed light. The goal of this study was to improve the quality of the grey scale images by using mixed RGB illumination. The mixing mechanism and image quality were formulized and applied to a machine vision system with an RGB mixer. The RGB mixer was made of RGB LEDs, a power AMP, a mixing chamber, and a bundle of optical fibers. The intensity of the RGB light was adjusted by varying the 12 bit DAC voltage. The optical characteristics of the RGB LEDs were measured by a spectrometer. The color variation of the mixed light was monitored by a chromatic meter. Grey scale images were captured and analyzed under various lighting conditions provided by the mixer. The optimal illumination was determined by the distribution of the grey scale in the captured image. The chromatic diagram showed that various colors can be generated, and the image histogram showed that the mixed light can increase the quality of the grey scale image. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
