Abstract: A scanner device includes a color measuring, a support surface for a measured object and a drive unit for moving the measuring head across the support surface and for adjusting the height of the measuring head in a direction perpendicular to the support surface. The measuring head is equipped with an illuminating channel and a collection channel. The illuminating channel has a light source and optical means for illuminating the measured object at a measurement site at a mean angle of incidence of 45°. The collection channel has optical means for capturing light emanating from the measured object at the measurement site at a mean collection angle of 0° and coupling it into a light guide, which directs the captured light to a wavelength-selective photoelectric transformer, which resolves it into a number of wavelength ranges and generates an electric measurement signal corresponding to each wavelength range.

Abstract: A correction algorithm may be applied for correcting misalignment of a radially-aligned array of sensors. Due to the tilt, signals from sensors that are further away from the media, may become slightly attenuated, while signals from sensors that are closer to the media are slightly increased. The error appears periodic and largely sinusoidal in nature around the array given the circular nature of the array of sensor elements. The algorithm determines the magnitude and phase of a sinusoidal function that best fits the wavelength data. In one embodiment, a discrete Fourier transform may be performed at the ‘frequency’ equivalent to one period around the array to determine the magnitude and phase estimate thereof. Then, a sinusoidal correction function may be generated using the magnitude and the phase in order to correct the reflectance data.
