So, it turned out that - due to the different surfaces, and types of glass etc. in the profile, it is simply not possible to get a setup with produces a really good image for all the different profile configurations. Furthermore, the spots are too intense and too close :( We're making a few ...

Thanks, it's come out well considering it is mostly built from scraps. My biggest worry at the moment are the lights - and compensating for the barrel distortion in the cheap A495 Canon cameras. One of the issues is bringing out the "curve" in the aluminium profile which is being photographed. If ...

Hi, The basic frame is now ready. I took some quick pictures with my (poor quality) phone camera, but I think they serve to demonstrate the point. Next week I will setup the frame with the lighting / cameras exactly as we want it, then I'll upload some sample images with different profiles and ...

If this interests you, that is fantastic. I can see it is an interesting problem. The frame will be finished, and the first images taken, in the next few weeks. We have built the background of the frame in such a way that we can slip different colours of card into the "halfpipe" so experimenting ...

Thanks Anthony, that's what I suspected, but you propose something interesting there. When I say I'm building a frame, what I mean is a rigid (aluminium) frame around 1x1x1 meter with a "half-pipe" on which the object is mounted, with absolutely immovable fixed mounting points for lighting and two ...

Only the the exact colour of the original background is known. I'm trying to make an idiot proof frame into which various glass samples (some of which include inlays) can be placed, and somebody just has to press the shutter. Later a little script is/was basically supposed to take all these images ...

Yes... it's more like I'm trying to recover the second image... Although, as I say, the problem remains that I am handling photos of semi-transparent objects (with differing degrees of transparency) which are photographed against a known (bright green) background. I want to algorithmically replace ...

Thanks for the reply Anthony, I fully appreciate what you're saying about the distinction between physical modeling and image processing - I was hoping that I could simply use some sort of logical image processing, otherwise I'm stuffed :-) If I simplify the example even further it seems so trivial ...

I have been thinking about how best to explain this problem... it isn't a problem with ImageMagick on the command line, but more a problem of how best to *use* ImageMagick... I'm afraid I've run out of ideas about how to approach the problem due to a lack of experience :-) Please allow me to briefly ...
