Definitions
- the present invention concerns a procedure as specified in the preamble of the independent claim, for producing a wrong colour picture.
- the invention also concerns a means implementing said procedure for pro ⁇ ducing a wrong colour picture.
- Semiconductor video cameras comprise a plural- ity of semiconductor detectors, usually silicon-based detectors, which have been arranged in linear array or in matrix array. These detectors are moreover mostly connected to operate as CCD detectors.
- CCD detec ⁇ tors are sensitive both to visible light and to near infra-red rays, as shown in Fig. 1.
- access of near infra-red radia ⁇ tion to the detectors is prevented by placing before the semiconductor detectors a filter cutting off near infra-red radiation.
- the colours of the picture, blue, green and red are separated with second filters pro ⁇ vided in front of individual detectors in the array of detectors.
- these colour-separating filters do not filter out near infra-red radiation, and for this reason double filters are required in the camera in order that it might operate as a conventional video camera.
- the object of the invention is to disclose a novel procedure for producing wrong colour pictures, wherein video cameras known in themselves in the art are utilized, which most advantageously contain a plu ⁇ rality of semiconductor detectors, such as CCD detec ⁇ tors, having a sensitivity range in respect of wave ⁇ length extending into the near infra-red range.
- a plu ⁇ rality of semiconductor detectors such as CCD detec ⁇ tors
- sensitivity range in respect of wave ⁇ length extending into the near infra-red range.
- Fig. 1 displays the sensitivity range of the CCD detec ⁇ tor commonly employed in semiconductor video cameras
- Fig. 2 presents schematically a means according to the invention for producing a moving wrong colour picture.
- the video camera 1 comprises in Fig. 2 a de- tector array 2 and optics 3 placed therebefore, with the aid of the latter an image being formed on the sur ⁇ face of the detector array 2.
- a filter 4 cutting off blue light.
- the cut-off wavelength of the fil- ter is advantageously 500 n .
- the green light detectors G 1 both near infra-red radiation and green light
- the red light detectors R* is admitted both near infra-red radiation and red light.
- the signals representing the respective radiation combinations i.e., from the output repre ⁇ senting blue radiation, or the blue output B, a signal ir representing the intensity of near infra-red radia ⁇ tion, from the green output a a summed signal ir+g 5 representing the intensity of near infra-red radiation and green light, and similarly from the red output R a summed signal ir+r representing the intensity of near infra-red radiation and red light.
- the camera 1 is connected to a subtractor 5.
- the colour signals ir, ir+g, ir+r obtained through the camera outputs B, G, R are carried to the inputs Bla, Gla, Rla of the subtractor.
- the signal ir containing near infra-red radiation is sub ⁇ tracted from the signal ir+g containing beam divider
- the succession of the signals ir, g, r obtained from the outputs Bib, Gib, Rib of the subtrac ⁇ tor 5 is changed in the swapper so that from the out- 35 puts B2b, G2b, R2b of the swapper the signals g, r, ir are obtained, in this order.
- the green g, red r and near infra-red ir signals are changed. respectively, to the blue b, green g and red r signal when the colour is related to the signal sequence in a normal video camera. This is equivalent to the tradi ⁇ tional wrong colour picture.
- the wrong colour picture may be realized in the following way.
- the signals ir, g ob ⁇ tained from the outputs Bib, Gib of the subtractor 5 after the subtracting operation are changed to become, respectively, the output signals g, ir on the outputs B2b and R2b of the swapper 6.
- the green and near infra-red signals g, ir are changed to become, respectively, the blue and green signal b, g, while the red signal r is left unchanged, as related to the colour signal sequence in a normal video camera.
- the swapper 6 is connected to an assembler 6.
- the outputs B2b, G2b, R2b of the swapper 6 are connect- ed to the inputs B3a, G3a, R3a, respectively, of the assembler.
- From the output S of the assembler 7 is ob ⁇ tained the combined, standard format video signal s , which may be carried e.g. to a monitor or to a suitable recording means.
- the invention has been de ⁇ scribed in the first place with reference to one advan ⁇ tageous embodiment thereof, but it is obvious that the invention may be modified in numerous ways within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims fol- lowing below.
