Abstract: A method of producing a finish for a selected wood substrate, wherein the finish provides the selected wood substrate with a color that matches the color of a target object. In accordance with the method, calculations are performed to determine the quantities of at least one group of colorants required to produce a semitransparent wood stain from a vehicle, wherein when the semitransparent wood stain is applied to the selected wood substrate, the selected wood substrate will have a color that matches the target object. The calculations are performed using reflectance measurements of the target object obtained using a spectrophotometer and previously obtained spectral data of the colorants as applied to at least one type of wood. The colorants used to form the semitransparent wood stain do not include a white colorant.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a color selection method, which includes the steps of selecting colors in accordance with identification criteria supplied, for example, by a vehicle manufacturer; displaying the colors in the form of color reference chips on the screen of a display unit attached to a computer; selecting a desired color chip from the color reference chips on the screen; accessing and displaying color formulas; and then finally selecting a desired color formula that lists all the ingredients needed to prepare a coating composition, such as automotive refinish paint or architectural paint, from the color formulas displayed on the screen. The technician can then mix the ingredients, such as tints, in the proportions provided in the desired color formula to make the coating composition. If desired, the method further includes sending the desired color formula to a weighing scale or a tint dispenser attached to the computer so that the ingredients listed in the desired formula can be weighed or dispensed automatically.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for color matching are provided, in which paint recipe neural networks are utilized. The color of a standard is expressed as color values. The neural network includes an input layer having nodes for receiving input data related to paint bases. Weighted connections connect to the nodes of the input layer and have coefficients for weighting the input data. An output layer having nodes are either directly or indirectly connected to the weighted connections and generates output data related to color values. The data to the input layer and the data from the output layer are interrelated through the neural network's nonlinear relationship.

Abstract: There is disclosed in particular a method by which workpieces, such as ceramic tiles, can be classified according to their tonal variations. An apparatus operates electronically to capture an electronic image of a tile. That electronic image is then analysed to derive a histogram of the tonal variations in the image. A numerical representation of the tonal variations in the tile is derived utilizing an algorithm operative upon probabilities derived from the histogram. Preferably, each tile is monitored and directed to a stacking station at which tiles having the same tonal variations are collected.

Abstract: A system and method for determining if a proposed color solution, such as paint, pigments, or dye formulations, is acceptable, is provided. The inputs to the system are the color values of a proposed paint or other color formulation and differential color values. The system includes an input device for entering a proposed color solution and an artificial intelligence tolerance model coupled to the input device. The tolerance model produces an output signal for communicating whether the proposed color solution is acceptable. The artificial intelligence model may be embodied in a neural network. More specifically, the tolerance model may be a back propagation neural network.
