Abstract:
A colorimetry device includes an integrating sphere having a measurement opening part and a trap hole, a trap disposed to be able to open and close the trap hole, a lid that is non-reflective and disposed to be able to open and close the trap hole, an imaging means disposed at a position that allows taking, through the trap hole, an image of a specimen facing the measurement opening part, and a display means that displays an image taken by the imaging means. The trap is to move to a position at which the trap hole is closed by the trap at a time of measurement of light with an SCI method, the light being reflected from the specimen, and the lid is moved to a position at which the trap hole is closed by the lid at a time of measurement of the light with an SCE method.
Abstract:
A method for characterizing a digital color camera includes, for each of three primary colors used in a field sequential color virtual image, determining a conversion model for each color using RGB values and the color-measurement values. For each primary color, the method includes illuminating a display device using an input light beam of a primary color having spectral properties representative of a light beam in a virtual image in a wearable device. The method includes capturing, with the digital color camera, an image of the display device, and determining, from the image, RGB values for each primary color. The method includes capturing, with a color-measurement device, a color-measurement value associated with each corresponding primary color at the display device, thereby acquiring a color-measurement value in an absolute color space. A conversion model for each color is determined using RGB values and the color-measurement values.
Abstract:
A colorimeter includes an integrating sphere, a light source, a light receiver and a low reflectance unit. The integrating sphere has a first aperture to be covered with a sample and a second aperture opposing the first aperture configured to allow reflected light from the sample to pass therethrough. The light source irradiates an inner wall of the integrating sphere with light. The light receiver receives, through the second aperture, the reflected light from a surface of the sample that enters the integrating sphere through the first aperture when the light from the light source is reflected by the inner wall, and is applied to the sample through the first aperture, and outputs a signal in accordance with the reflected light. The low reflectance unit is disposed around the light receiver to face an internal space of the integrating sphere, and has lower light reflectance than the inner wall.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for measuring a colour parameter of a gemstone. The apparatus comprises a support structure for supporting the gemstone at a measurement location, an illumination system for illuminating the gemstone at the measurement location, an imaging device directed towards the measurement location for obtaining an image of the gemstone, and an image processor for analysing the image of the gemstone. The image processor is configured to identify a set of stone pixels corresponding to the gemstone in the image and identify luminance and chrominance values for each stone pixel. A colour vector is calculated from an expression of the chrominance values of the stone pixels in chrominance space, the colour vector extending in chrominance space from stone pixels having a relatively high luminance value to stone pixels having a relatively low luminance value. This colour vector is used in the determination of the colour parameter.

In one embodiment, an apparatus for measuring a color of a non-solid colored sample includes an integrating sphere having a sensor port, a sample port, and a plurality of registration marks affixed to an interior surface of the integrating sphere, outside a periphery of the sample port, a camera positioned near the sensor port, and a plurality of filters positioned between the integrating sphere and camera. An optical axis of the camera extends from the camera, through at least one of the plurality of filters, through the sensor port, to the sample port.
Abstract:
An electronic device may be provided with a color sensing ambient light sensor. The color sensing ambient light sensor may measure the color of ambient light. Control circuitry in the electronic device may use information from the color sensing ambient light sensor in adjusting a display in the electronic device or taking other action. The color sensing ambient light sensor may have light detectors with different spectral responses. A test system may be used to calibrate the color sensing light sensor. The test system may have a tunable light source with light-emitting diodes that are turned on in sequence while gathering measured responses from the detectors. Numerical optimization techniques may be used to produce final versions of the spectral responses for the light detectors from the measured responses and corresponding calibration data that is stored in the electronic device.

There is provided an optical characteristic measurement system that can be set up in a relatively short time and can increase a detection sensitivity. The optical characteristic measurement system includes a first measurement apparatus. The first measurement apparatus includes: a first detection element arranged in a housing; a first cooling unit at least partially joined to the first detection element that cools the detection element; and a suppression mechanism that suppresses temperature variations occurring around the detection element in the housing.
Abstract:
Multiple colors of light emitted by an assembled light emitting diode (LED) based illumination device is automatically tuned to within a predefined tolerance of multiple target color points by modifying portions of wavelength converting materials associated with each color. A first color of light emitted from the assembled LED based illumination device in response to a first current is measured and a second color of light emitted from the assembled LED based illumination device in response to a second current is measured. A material modification plan to modify wavelength converting materials is determined based at least in part on the measured colors of light and desired colors of light to be emitted. The wavelength converting materials may be selectively modified in accordance with the material modification plan so that the assembled LED based illumination device emits colors of light that are within a predetermined tolerance of target color points.
