The invention relates to an apparatus for recording on a black & white photographic film information representing a pattern of coloured light, wherein the apparatus comprises at least a housing with an opening through which, during use, the coloured light enters the housing, wherein the housing comprises within the housing a substantially plane-like position which is, during use, occupied by the black & white film, wherein the apparatus further comprises a mask positioned in a light path extending from the opening to the plane-like position, wherein the mask comprises at least one set of colourfilters, wherein each set comprises at least two colourfilters having different predetermined wavelength transmission characteristics. The invention also relates to a method for recording on a black & white photographic film information representing a pattern of coloured light. The invention further relates to an apparatus for reconstructing from a black & white image information representing a pattern of coloured light. The invention also relates to a method for reconstructing from a black & white image information representing a pattern of coloured light.
Apparatus for recording on a black & white photographic film information representing a pattern of coloured light, wherein the apparatus comprises at least a housing with an opening through which, during use, the coloured light enters the housing, wherein the housing comprises within the housing a substantially plane-like position which is, during use, occupied by the black & white film, wherein the apparatus further comprises a mask positioned in a light path extending from the opening to the plane-like position, wherein the mask comprises at least one set of colourfilters, wherein each set comprises at least two colourfilters having different predetermined wavelength transmission characteristics, characterised in that, the mask further comprises separate from and in addition to the at least one set of colourfilters at least one identification mark which is projectable onto the black & white film, wherein the position of the at least one identification mark corresponds according to a predetermined relationship with the position of at least one set and/or with the position of at least one of the colourfilters.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that the at least two colourfilters are spaced by a predetermined mutual distance.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that, the mask comprises between each pair of colourfilters at least one separating line.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that, the at least one set contains at least three colourfilters having mutually different wavelength transmission characteristics.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that, the at least one set contains at least four colourfilters having mutually different wavelength transmission characteristics.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that at least two of the colourfilters of the at least one set have different wavelength transmission characteristics which at least partly overlap.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that, at least one of the colour filters is shaped such that the light exiting the at least one colour filter converges between the at least one colour filter and the black & white film.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that the apparatus comprises a Light Emitting Device so as to project the at least one identification mark onto the black & white film.
Apparatus according to any of the previous claims, characterised in that the mask comprises a plurality of sets of colourfilters.
Mask according to any of the previous claims.
