ABSTRACT:
A method of making multilevel equidensity contour mappings and pseudo-colored versions of a photograph. First a half-tone transparency of the photograph is made by the method described in copending patent application entitled "Method of Making Half-Tone Screens", Ser. No. 708,539 filed 26 July, 1976 by Liu, now abandoned. The half-tone photograph transparency is placed at the object plane of a first lens. A spatially filtered collimated light beam is directed through the transparency and the lens such that a multitude of diffraction orders appear in the focal plane of the lens. A particular non-zero order of diffraction is singled out by placing a thin slit spatial filter at the Fourier plane of the lens. Reimaging of the diffraction order by another lens produces a filtered image which contains multilevel equidensity contours of the original photographic image. In one embodiment the light beam is generated by lasers of different wavelengths. A colored version of the photograph results from the mixing of high-diffraction order outputs.
