Abstract:
A method to change the color of hair. The method includes measuring an initial reflectance spectrum [Fig 1a (10)] of a sample of the hair and analyzing a contribution of a plurality of hair factors to the initial reflectance spectrum. The method also includes calculating a hair treatment based on another reflectance spectrum. A system to measure a reflectance spectrum of a sample includes an integrating sphere (12) having a sampling port (14) and an inner surface (16) and a window disposed (18) near the sampling port. The window is configured for being placed in close contact with the sample. The system also includes a light source (20) configured to project light onto the sample via the window and a light detector (22) configured to analyze light reflected from the inner surface (16) to produce the reflectance spectrum of the sample.

Abstract:
Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with color measuring are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a spectrophotometer (100), one or more light sources (110) for illuminating an interior of the spectrophotometer (100), and a digital camera (105) configured at a port (125) of the spectrophotometer and being configured to measure light components from a sample (115). In the present invention, segmentation logic is provided for the spectrophotometer that is configured to employ computational image segmentation to characterize specular reflection from a sample and to characterize a selected patch or portion from the test sample, such as a selected color in a multicolor pattern. In accordance with the present invention, the spectrophotometer (100) and the included digital camera (105) may be color-characterized in situ.
Abstract:
Method, system and computer product for formulating a bi-directional color match. In this disclosure, a computing unit (18) obtains spectral measurements of a target bi-directional color. The computing unit (18) uses a bi-directional color formulation tool (36) to determine a combination of pigments, dyes and platelet-shaped pigments that generates spectral measurements that match the spectral measurements of the target bi-directional color.

Abstract:
A collector (202) captures light from source images as a field of pixels, a color analyzer (292) analyzes a proper subset (420) of the field to produce a plurality of color values, and a cosmetic analyzer then uses the color values to produce a cosmetic color determination. Another aspect of the present invention comprises a window having a light passage area, a color calibration region that is not coextensive with the light passage area, and a detectable product identification region. The window may also contain a mechanism that tends to preclude multiple uses. A third aspect of the present invention is a system that combines the collector, the color analyzer, the cosmetic analyzer, and window.
Abstract:
A color measuring system (10) includes a portable spectrophotometer (100) connectable to a general-purpose computer (130). The portable unit (100) includes a microprocessor with a read-only program memory for storing machine executable instructions and input/output functions. A random-access data memory is used to temporarily store process data for later transfer to the general-purpose computer (130) or to store in a command buffer area transferred high-level, generalized commands from the general-purpose computer (130). The microprocessor also includes a command interpreter which reads a generalized command from data memory and executes the predefined sequence of machine executable functions.
Abstract:
Améliorations structurelles d'appareils photométriques (colorimètre, spectrophotomètre) utilisés pour mesurer des paramètres déterminant la couleur (luminance de réflexion, composantes trichromatiques, etc...). L'on propose une nouvelle géométrie optique, qui pourrait être définie comme sphérique-diffuse (illumination)/sphérique-diffuse (observation). Il en existe deux modes fondamentaux de réalisation, le premier en association avec un appareil photométrique déjà existant, la nouvelle géométrie optique étant couplée à l'extérieur dudit appareil, et le deuxième consistant à intégrer la nouvelle géométrie optique dans l'appareil de mesure. Dans les deux cas, les structures qui présentent la nouvelle géométrie optique sont également utilisées comme porte-échantillons.
