Abstract

A process for producing and applying complex pictures and objects (eg photographs, video pictures etc) onto food products such as meat. pastry, fish, cheese etc as well as on products produced by the soap industry, comprises using a carbon dioxide laser writing unit. The latter is used according to the scan-raster principle.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Darstellung von komplexen Objekten (z. B. Fotos, Videobilder) auf die Oberfläche von Nahrungsmittel wie Fleisch-, Teig-, Fisch- oder Süßwaren sowie auf Produkten der Seifenindustrie mittels einer CO2-Laser-Beschriftungseinrichtung nach dem SCAN-RASTERPRINZIP.The invention relates to a method for displaying complex objects (z. B. photos, video images) on the surface of foods such as meat, dough, fish or confectionery and on products of the soap industry by means of a CO 2 laser labeling device according to SCAN GRID PRINCIPLE.

Definition der SCAN-RASTERGRAFIKDefinition of the SCAN GRID

Rastergrafik ist eine der beiden Realisierungsmethoden von Grafik in der EDV. Rastergrafik wird zur Darstellung sehr komplexen Objekten (z. B. Farbfotos, Videobilder) verwendet.Raster graphics is one of the two methods of implementing graphics in EDP. Raster graphics are used to represent very complex objects (e.g. color photos, Video images).

Im Unterschied zur Vektorgrafik wird bei der Rastergrafik die gesamte Fläche des zu beschriftenden Produkts mit den Informationen des zu zeichnenden Objekts belegt.In contrast to vector graphics, the entire surface of the product to be labeled with the information of the object to be drawn busy.

Das bedeutet, daß die Arbeitsfläche elektronisch in ein Raster aufgeteilt wird. Dabei ist jeder Bildpunkt des Rasters definiert, es entsteht eine Bitmaske. Bei den Positionen im Raster, die mit einem Pixel belegt werden sollen, wird das zugehörige Bit auf 1 gesetzt. Bei den freien Positionen erhält das entsprechende Bit den Wert 0. Der Kathodenstrahl der Bildröhre tastet den gesamten Bildschirm zeilenweise ab, um die Punkte zu setzen, bzw. die Bitwerte zuzuordnen. Bei jeder Veränderung einer Grafik, die vom Scanner erfaßt und im Videospeicher abgelegt wird, wird demzufolge das gesamte Bild neu aufgebaut und am Bildschirm angezeigt. Ein davon abweichendes Verfahren ist das Punkt-Raster-Verfahren. Hier werden nur die neu hinzukommenden Punkte bzw. Bitwerte neu gesetzt. Letzteres erlaubt dem Anwender ein schnelles Arbeiten (geringe Wartezeiten), ist aber technisch aufwendiger und damit kostenintensiver.This means that the work area is electronically divided into a grid. Here every pixel of the grid is defined, a bit mask is created. With the positions the corresponding bit is in the grid that is to be assigned a pixel set to 1. In the free positions, the corresponding bit receives the value 0. The cathode ray of the picture tube scans the entire screen line by line, to set the points or to assign the bit values. With every change a graphic that is captured by the scanner and stored in the video memory, is accordingly the entire image is newly constructed and displayed on the screen. One of them a different method is the dot-raster method. Only those are new here additional points or bit values are set again. The latter allows the user fast work (short waiting times), but is technically more complex and therefore more expensive.

Im Unterschied zu dem geschilderten technischen Aufbau einer Grafik wird die Differenz zwischen Raster- und Vektorgrafik bei den entsprechenden Anwendungsprogrammen aus einem völlig anderen Blickwinkel betrachtet. Kann bei einem raster- oder pixelorientierten Programm jeder einzelne Punkt eines grafischen Objektes separat angesteuert und verändert werden, so ist dies bei vektororientierten Programmen nicht möglich. Bei vektororientierten Programmen werden die einzeln gesetzten grafischen Primitive (Linie, Rechteck Bogenelement) in ihrer Gesamtheit angesteuert. Hier liegt die Vektorgrafik bei der Qualitätsbeurteilung eindeutig vorne, da je nach Darstellungsvermögen des Ausgabemediums die Auflösung der Vektorgrafiken immer höher ist als bei der Rastergrafik.In contrast to the technical structure of a graphic described, the Difference between raster and vector graphics in the corresponding application programs viewed from a completely different angle. Can with one raster or pixel-oriented program every single point of a graphic object controlled and changed separately, this is the case with vector-oriented Programs not possible. In vector-oriented programs, they are individual set graphic primitives (line, rectangle arc element) in their entirety controlled. Here, the vector graphic is clearly at the front in the quality assessment, because, depending on the representation of the output medium, the resolution of the vector graphics is always higher than with raster graphics.

Beide grafische Verfahren haben jedoch ihre Vorteile. Ein gescanntes Objekt (Bild, Zeichnung, Foto, Videobild) kann beispielsweise mit einem Pixelprogramm einfacher bearbeitet werden, als mit einem Programm, das das Objekt zunächst vektorisiert, wobei es der Anwender anschließend meist nachbearbeiten muß. However, both graphic methods have their advantages. A scanned object (image, Drawing, photo, video image) can be easier with a pixel program, for example be processed as with a program that first vectorizes the object, the user usually has to rework it afterwards.
