Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the quantitative determination of surface properties, wherein a spatially resolved image of a surface to be analysed, which contains a large number of measured values, is recorded. In a first method step, the measured values are analysed in order to determine those surface areas which have a specific physical property. A result value of this physical property is then determined, wherein this result value is characteristic of the values of the physical property of all those surface areas of the image determined by analysing the image. According to the invention, in addition to the result value, a further value (B) characteristic of the surface is determined and this characteristic value is displayed together with the result value (I).

Abstract: Small, fast, and inexpensive in-line spectrophotometers can produce in-line spectrums of a substrate before or after printing on the substrate. In-line spectrums are generally far less complete than a reference spectrum produced with a large, slow, and expensive reference spectrophotometer. An in-line spectrum can be mapped to a reference spectrum using a variety of known algorithms. However, the mapping is erroneous when the media substrate type changes. Reference transform matrices and in-line transform matrices can correct the erroneous mapping.

Abstract: Systems and method provide compensation for temperature induced peak wavelength shift of LEDs is color parameter measuring systems that use a model to reconstruct target color parameter values from the reflectance values measured when the target is illuminated by LEDs. Several models may be constructed, with each model being trained at a unique temperature, resulting in a set of models that span the temperature range of interest. In real-time, the LED based color parameter measuring system measures the temperature and interpolates between the models to estimate the appropriate model to use at the temperature of interest. The estimated model is then used to perform the color parameter value estimation.

Abstract: A method of verifying the color and tinting strength of a manufactured batch of a semi-transparent wood stain. In accordance with the method, a standard batch of the wood stain is formed and then mixed with a specified amount of a white colorant to form a standard measurement batch. A test sample of the manufactured batch is obtained and is also mixed with a specified amount of the white colorant to form a test measurement sample. Layers of the standard measurement batch and the test measurement sample are formed on the substrates and complete hide obtained. Reflectance measurements of the layers are made using a spectrophotometer. The reflectance measurements are used to determine if the color and the tinting strength of the manufactured batch is within an acceptable deviation range of the color and tinting strength of the standard batch. This allows for objective color difference and tint strength difference calculations, and adjustments can be made therefrom, therefore eliminating the past visual trial and error methods.

Abstract: The following procedures are included: a procedure (1) for measuring a metallic paint color by a multi-angle spectrophotometer and storing the multi-angle colorimetric value Lab* of the paint color, a color classification code to which the paint color belongs, and a computer graphic image in a memory of a computer and a procedure (2) for calling a metallic paint color to be retrieved (this is referred to as the metallic paint color concerned) from the memory by using a paint color name as a keyword. Moreover, in the case of a new color not stored in the memory, the color is measured by a multi-angle spectrophotometer and stored in the memory in accordance with the procedure (1). A screening function (3) is included which previously narrows down paint colors whose approximate colors will be computed by using color classification codes when computing an approximate color of the metallic color concerned.

Abstract: Under the conditions that there are 2 or more samples produced in a CCM toning or visual toning process by which colors are adapted to the target color and respective components such as a coloring agent defining the sample color are registered in a CCM system, the reproducibility of the samples is evaluated based on the difference nullRnulln (n denotes a sample number) between spectral reflectance RSTnulln obtained by actually measuring the respective samples and spectral reflectance RPRnulln obtained by the CCM simulation corresponding to the coloring agent recipe for the sample color at the same n, and determination whether toning work should be continued or not is rapidly and simply performed. On the other hand, when an abnormal sample is perceived, the difference nullRnullnullb of the sample obtained from the specified equations is determined and, by comparison of the difference between the target color and a color of a toning sample in the color matching process, components such as a coloring agent mixed into the abnormal sample is presumed and its mixed amount is presumed.
