JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn the Advanced Photo System, many field of products is introduced at the same time, therfore it is required within range of the specification at system interface performance. We considered the three item of system interfaces on the developement of the Advanced Photo System camera. That item are “Print quality is same as 135”, “Guarantee on magnetic recording performance”, and “Guarantee on cartridge interface”.
As a result, consumer take a beautiful picture easily and without anxiety.View full abstractDownload PDF (593K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFor the completion of Advanced Photo System, which can provide users with a lot of advantages, we needed a wide range of technological study on the interface between camera, film/ cartridge and photofinishing equipment. Developing Advanced Photo System camera, we developed and introduced new technologies to clearly claim the system advantages, and achieved a “compact, easy, and high quality” camera.View full abstractDownload PDF (544K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe major feature of the Advanced Photo System for film base are (1) a small size thrust cartridge and (2) negative return in cartridge (NRIC). These features requires low core- set curl tendency and high mechanical strength.
Cellulosetriacetate (CTA) and polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) base currently used as film base could not satisfy those requirements.
A polyethylenenaphthalate base which is annealed at a temperature just below its glass transition temperature (Tg) to reduce core-set curl tendency, namely called A- PEN satisfied those requirements.View full abstractDownload PDF (2806K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe approach Fuji took for designing image quality of Advanced Photo system is describesd.
The image quality improvements Fuji achieved are also addressed.
Based on the understanding that the image quality of Advanced Photo system is one of the most critical issues to be addressed, Fuji systematically designed the image quality of the system.
The image quality was studied from the viewpoints of the subjective image quality evaluation based on the consumer surveys and the objective image quality evaluation based on the physical measurement of image structure.
The following are the focus.
·Consumers expectation for print quality
·Allocation of image quality improvement target to each system component
·Image quality improvement achieved with Fuji' s products for Advanced Photo System The output from this work is as follows.
(1) Fuji' s products for Advanced Photo System achieved the primary goal of providing consumers with prints comparable to current 135 size films.(2) The computer simulation system enable us to take the system image quality design approach to each system component efficiently.View full abstractDownload PDF (857K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe work leading to the introduction of the Advanced Photo System was extremely complex and required Eastman Kodak Company to manage these technical efforts through the application of systems engineering principles. This paper will discuss the complexity of the situation, the principles that were applied and specific methodologies that Kodak used during system development.View full abstractDownload PDF (1256K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS“Advanced Photo System” recently put on the market will be addressed from the viewpoints of the benefits for consumer/ industry and the system design.
The features specific to Advanced Photo System are described from the standpoint of the photofininshing service (min. feature set/ enhanced feature) and cameras. The following topics are focused on to briefly describe Adavanced Photo System from the technical aspect.
Leaderless film cartridge design concept
Magnetic layer optimization
Image size optimization
It is expected Advanced Photo System will provide us with a new arena for “Innovation of AgX Photography” through further expansion of the traditional AgX photographic system and hybridization with other imaging systems such as digital imaging systems.View full abstractDownload PDF (1283K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe have studied the effectiveness of the information recorded by camera at the time of photographing in improving print quality. According to our experiment, camera data whose effectiveness is identified clearly are flash fire, scene brightness value, and magnification. We estimated the effects that can be obtained using camera data. Camera data resolve the conventional problem related to the difficulty of flash fire/ backlight scene separation. The density correction of high- contrast scenes can be improved by camera data. Moreover, the shots taken under artificialilluminant can be detected.View full abstractDownload PDF (491K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWith the definition of the Advanced Photo System a new photographic product- the index print- has been created. This paper describes the AGFA Index Print System (IPS), i.e. the system architecture, the system operation and the easy system handling by the operator.
The images are directly taken from the light path of a high speed printer (MSP) by a modified RGB video camera simultaneous to the first order prints. After processing by a dedicated composer board the images are placed into a flexible, film length dependent and customer dependent layout and printed via a CRT printer onto standard color negative paper. The image quality is comparable to that of the first order prints. Using a two- memories operation keeps the performance of the high speed printer unchanged. A new ‘Total Batch Scanning’-method to automatically control the gray balance of the index prints is discussed.View full abstractDownload PDF (467K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe paper highlights how the lab equipment which at present exists in the market supports efficient processing of Advanced Photo System.
Efficient processing means here optimised processing under economic terms, i.e. the parameters:
-investments,
-labour input,
-quality assurance
-integration into existing lab organisation
are considered
This can not be done on a general basis, as different manufacturers have different equipment philosophies. For this reason these aspects are illustrated using the example of the equipment developed by AGFA for the handling of the Advanced Photo System.
The paper points out that Advanced Photo System implies a higher handling complexity in the lab. Nevertheless, the machines existing in the market allow efficient handling of the new film system. To reach the 135 level, the manufactures of lab equipment must in future strive to eliminate performance impediments.View full abstractDownload PDF (2028K)
