    Abstract: A system and apparatus for the color calibration of images recorded through a microscope. An integrated color calibration target microscope slide device and specimen are recorded with an imaging device that acquires both the color values of the specimen and the color values of the color calibration target under a plurality of illuminations and trans-illuminations. A composite image is formed to provide a spectral estimation of the relevant color values of the image. The image is converted into multi-stimulus values governed by a plurality of illuminating conditions. The multi-stimulus values are used to provide image calibration data so that color values of the image, when displayed on a display devices, are faithfully reproduced.

    Abstract: A method has been developed to improve the stability of a color measurement system that measures reflectances using matrix-transformation method. The transformation matrix can be obtained by training with a raw measurement matrix and a master reflectance matrix. The raw measurement matrix can be stacked with one or more of its variations, with each variation being some random noise added onto a part or the whole original raw signal matrix. The same number of master reflectance matrices are also stacked to match the size and sample ordering of the raw measurement matrix. The resulting transformation matrix will be more stable and less sensitive to the measurement noise.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards systems, methods and computer program products for correcting inter-instrumentation variation among color measurement devices. In one particular implementation, a method for correcting inter-instrument variation among color measurement devices includes obtaining a set of color measurements of an item under analysis. The described approach also includes accessing a conversion model, wherein the conversion module has been generated using one or more ANN back propagated over a collection of data points, where the data points correspond to measurements of a color standard using devices from a control device batch and a test device batch. Using the conversion module, a processor is configured to transform the set of color measurements into a calibrated color measurement set. The calibrated color measurement set is then output to at least one display, memory or remote computing device.

    Abstract: A method and a system are provided to measure transmittance or reflectance of a color specimen by using a transformation matrix obtained from the measurement values of a series of known transmittance or reflectance calibration color standards and multiple flashes from different illumination sources. A color spectrum can be determined with reduced error by calculating the reflectance spectra of an object using measurement matrices obtained under at least two illuminants and the transformation matrix.
