    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing spectral imaging (SI) data. A training operation estimates reconstruction matrices based on a spectral mosaic of an SI sensor, generates directionally interpolated maximum a-priori (MAP) estimations of image data based on the estimated reconstruction matrices. The training operation may determine filter coefficients for each of a number of cross-band interpolation filters based at least in part on the MAP estimations, and may determine edge classification factors based at least in part on the determined filter coefficients. The training operation may configure a cross-band interpolation circuit based at least in part on the determined filter coefficients and the determined edge classification factors. The configured cross-band interpolation circuit captures mosaic data using the SI sensor, and recovers full-resolution spectral data from the captured mosaic data.

    Abstract: In a direct stimulus value reading type colorimetric photometer, first, second, and third colorimetric optical systems have spectral responsivities approximate to first, second, and third parts of the color matching function, respectively. A deriving unit derives a colorimetric value corresponding to a case in which the color matching function is selected as an evaluation function for colorimetry and a photometric value corresponding to a case in which the spectral luminous efficiency is selected as an evaluation function for photometry (i.e. “CASE”) from three signals. The spectral luminous efficiency is not consistent with any one of the first, second, and third parts. A fourth colorimetric optical system may have spectral responsivity approximate to the spectral luminous efficiency, and the deriving unit may derive the colorimetric value corresponding to the CASE from a fourth signal.

    Abstract: An object is to quantify the texture such as irregularity and gloss of a metal surface. Centers of Lab chromaticity distributions are identified (S145), and one of the Lab chromaticity distribution is entirely shifted (mapped) by deviations ΔA, ΔB and ΔL of a central coordinate, such that one of central coordinates of two distributions U1(L,a,b) and U2(L,a,b) matches with the other central coordinate (S146). A texture spread index that indicates a difference in spatial spread is then computed (S147). This configuration computes the spatial spread of the Lab chromaticity distribution in a three-dimensional space, and quantifies the irregularity of an inspection plane by diffraction phenomenon of illumination light. The difference in spread other than the color is applicable to evaluation of the irregularity of the metal surface or the like.

    Abstract: A backing member (50a) is pressed in a perpendicular direction (D3) by a predetermined sheet conveyed to a colorimetric position (P), and is disposed behind the predetermined sheet at the colorimetric position (P) when viewed from a colorimetric unit (40). A supporter (90) supports the backing member (50a) in a manner that the backing member (50a) can move in the perpendicular direction (D3). Holders (23a, 23b, 23c) hold a color tile member (80a) disposed on the backing member (50a) in a state that the amount of movement of the backing member (50a) in the perpendicular direction (D3) by the color tile member (80a) being thicker than the predetermined sheet and disposed on the backing member (50a) is larger than the amount of movement of the backing member (50a) in the perpendicular direction (D3) by the predetermined sheet.

    Abstract: A measuring device is a measuring device that performs colorimetry of an evaluation patch formed on a medium and a paper white patch that is a portion exposed by the medium. The measuring device has a light source portion that irradiates the medium with an illumination light, a measurement portion that acquires an amount of light from the medium as a measurement value, a memory that holds a paper white standard value that is a reference measurement value of the paper white patch, and a colorimetry unit that corrects a measurement value of the evaluation patch based on the measurement value of the paper white patch and the paper white standard value. Even in a case where a measurement position is changed, a reflectance of the evaluation patch is accurately calculated and a chromaticity of the evaluation patch can be accurately acquired.

    Abstract: A color measurement device includes a measurement array (MA) which includes: a plurality of illumination arrays (20, 30, 40) for exposing a measurement spot (MS) on a measurement object (MO) to illumination light in an actual illumination direction (2, 3, 4) in each case, and a pick-up array (50) for detecting the measurement light reflected by the measurement spot (MS) in an actual observation direction (5) and for converting it into preferably spectral reflection factors; and a controller for the illumination arrays and the pick-up array and for processing the electrical signals produced by the pick-up array. The controller is embodied to process the measured reflection factors on the basis of a correction model, such that distortions in the measurement values as compared to nominal illumination and/or observation directions, caused by angular errors in the illumination arrays and/or the pick-up array, are corrected.
