Obiettivo The project dealt with the development of sophisticated and advanced technology equipment, methods and software techniques, which make it possible to pick up, process and produce colour images well suited to cover most of the present and future needs in multiple application environments.A prototype charge coupled device (CCD) colour camera has been developed for still photography applications in desk toppublishing and the graphic arts. The camera uses a single megapixel CCD imager with a unique colour filter mask and image microscanner module to achieve programmable resolution of up to 3000 by 3000 colour pixels. The use of multilayer dielectric filters in very high fidelity colorimetry. A specially designed lens accommodates a wide range of image formats and houses the microscanner module. Fully digital colour processor electronics are used to produce the colour image data with high signal to noise ratio, excellent reproducibility and high colorimetric accuracy.MASCOT's aims were to develop: - a multipurpose, multi-environment colour acquisition system; this will require the development of advanced colour area sensors and high-performance, flexible lens systems - a colour ink-jet printer, with new design concepts which will make it possible to obtain the desired performance level in terms of print quality and printing speed - high-performance black and coloured inks, as well as special low-cost coated paper, for optimum colour rendition - high efficiency, low-loss compression/decompression algorithms for colour images, implemented both in software and in hardware and integrated into the system. The 2-D graphics library of the MS-Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) was to be extended to 3-D geometrical objects, with a metalanguage mapped on GDI defined and implemented to describe the structure of a document; and desktop publishing and technical office software applications were to be written that made use of the extended GDI graphics library and the features of the metalanguage. An integrated feasibility model was to be developed to demonstrate the results of the research.
