Abstract: A colorimeter or color measuring device measures color of a sample or an object, and displays measurement value or values according to user defined index or indices, calculated by a user-defined formula. Data of the user-defined formula is read in from outside of the colorimeter and converted into a coded form which can be executed by a controller of the calorimeter. The data of the user-defined formula or the coded data is stored in the colorimeter. Accordingly, the colorimeter has good portability and convenience despite its capability of expressing the colors of various samples or objects by user-defined original index or indices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer readable medium comprising one or more programs for carrying out a method for determining a patient's tooth shade. The method generally includes the steps of generating an image of a patient's tooth wherein the image includes color information representative of the patient's tooth shade; storing color information representative of a plurality of tooth shades; and comparing the color information of the image with the stored tooth shade color information to identify one or more tooth shades having a combined color that corresponds to the patient's tooth shade, and the color information that is obtained may be displayed to identify one or more tooth shades having a combined color corresponding to the determined tooth color. Preferably, the displayed data includes RGB chromaticities of the color image, and the patient's tooth color is determined by averaging the color information at selected locations of the image which correspond to different spatial locations of the patient's tooth. If desired, the color information of the patient's tooth can be electronically stored for use at a later time.

Abstract: A color measurement system includes a multi-purpose filter and optics assembly. The filter and optics assembly includes at least one tube array for segmenting received light. The segmented light is mixed and the polarization qualities of the light are modified so to minimize the effects caused by angular adjustments. A diffuser mixes the segmented light. Additionally, the color measurement system includes an ambient light attachment for collecting light from the viewing area surrounding the computer display. The ambient light collected is then analyzed, and a viewing area profile is created. The viewing area profile then can be used by software to adjust the colors displayed on the computer displays.

Abstract: A photodetector capable of making a more accurate measurement, a photodetecting method, a program, and a storage medium, are to be provided.The photodetector according to the present invention measures a luminance characteristic of a specific color outputted from a display unit under a specific illumination light. According to the photodetector of the present invention, color components of the illumination light and color components of the specific light are separated from each other by means of a light separator 60f. Then, using an operator Md for the display unit, the color components of the specific color thus separated are converted from LMS to XYZ by means of a converter 60g for the display unit. Further, using an operator Mi for illumination, the color components of the illumination light thus separated are converted from LMS to XYZ by means of a converter 60h for illumination. Thus, since the operator for the display unit and the operator for illumination are used each independently for the conversion from RGB to LMS, even a stacked color of both display unit output and illumination light can be measured with a higher accuracy.

Abstract: A method for obtaining an approximate standard colour definition for a sample colour (2) without the need for standard conditions of illumination or observation. The method comprises using colour sensing equipment such as a digital camera (6) to sense under non-standard conditions both the sample colour and a plurality of reference colours (5) each being provided on a template (1) and each having a known standard colour definition. The sensing under non-standard conditions produces a non-standard colour definition both for the sample colour and for each of the reference colours. The non-standard colour definitions of reference colours near in colour space to the sample colour are compared with the known standard colour definitions for the reference colours to obtain correction factors which are then applied to the non-standard colour definition of the sample colour to convert it to colour definition which, though it is only an approximation of the standard colour definition, is nevertheless sufficiently close to the true standard colour definition to be useful in colour matching.
