照明に用いられている非変調光のみにより照射され。3 and 4 will be explained. A modulated light source 123 that emits modulated light is synchronized with the frequency generated by the oscillator 121, and is controlled by a modulated light source control device 122 to emit modulated light. The object 12 in FIG. 1 is illuminated by both the modulated light emitted by the modulated light source 123 and the unmodulated light used for lighting in ordinary offices, etc., and the components of both are reflected and imaged by the imaging bag N124. . The background 11 in FIG. 1 is illuminated only by unmodulated light, which is used for lighting in ordinary offices.

FIG. 4A shows a video signal illuminated by both modulated light and non-modulated light. Object 1 shows how the non-modulated light component is removed and only the modulated light component is extracted.
Since the same applies to the light beam component reflected from the object 2 and the light beam component reflected from the background 11, only the light beam component reflected from the object 12 will be described below.

増幅される。The video signal captured by the imaging device 124 is shown in FIG.
As shown in A), both the modulated light source component and the non-modulated light source component coexist. In order to perform object extraction by removing the non-modulated light source component from the video signal and extracting only the modulated light source component, the video signal is oscillated by the oscillator 121 and is supplied to the modulated light source control device 122. The signal is amplified by a variable amplification amplification device 125 that synchronizes with the amplification rate and varies the amplification degree.

力の大きさを保ち。The amplification degree of the variable amplification amplification device 125 becomes small when the intensity of the modulated light source component 133 in FIG. The amplification degree of the non-modulated light source component 135 at the input of the oscillator 126 is varied in synchronization with the oscillator 121 so as to maintain a constant intensity. As a result of being amplified by the variable amplification amplifier 125 having an amplification degree synchronized with the output of the oscillator 121, the modulated light source component 133 at the input of the variable amplification amplifier 125 is not shown at the input of the low-pass filter 126. 136, which does not change with time, while the variable amplification amplifier 1
At the input of the low-pass filter 126, the unmodulated light source component 134 at the input 25 changes with time as shown at 135 in the figure. The low-pass filter 126 is used to remove the time-varying component, ie, the non-modulated light source component 135, which is input to the low-pass filter 126. 1 Reduction of the time-varying component, ie, the non-modulated light source component The output signal of the low-pass filter 126, which is the result of this, is shown in Figure 4 (
C), and the modulated light source component 137 maintains the magnitude of the low-pass filter input.

可能となる。The unmodulated light source component 138 is reduced by a low pass filter. In this way, only the modulated light source component included in the output of the imaging device 124 appears in the output of the low-pass filter 126, so the background 11 in FIG. By irradiating the light beam, it becomes possible to extract only the object from an image signal containing a mixture of the background and the object.

It is good as long as it is as accurate as possible. Furthermore, the second
In the case of the invention described above, the modulation frequency should be set at a level higher than flicker, which is close to human perception when used in a normal office, and in a special environment such as a factory where it does not affect humans. If you want to use it, you can select it completely arbitrarily.
