Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for processing video signals received from an optical scanner is described. A comparator means is used for comparing the video signals with a dynamic threshold voltage. This threshold voltage is generated by a peak detector circuit which also receives the video signals. The peak detector circuit includes decay means for decaying signals representative of the detected peaks at a predetermined rate. This thresholding technique provides compensation for a wide dynamic range of video signals received from a photodiode array.
