    Abstract: A method for establishing a relationship between a physical structure of reflectance spectra as defined in a Euclidean color space and a perceptual space of color appearance defined in terms of human perception of colors is performed by obtaining a cube root spectrum of the physical reflectance spectrum in a selected spectral range, reconstructing the cube root of the physical reflectance spectrum by a weighted linear combination of three basis functions, the weights of the linear combination of the basis functions constituting the coordinates in a three-dimensional Euclidean color space with respect to which similarities and differences among reflectance spectra in metric terms and a color characterized in a perceptual space of color appearance can be analyzed, and making an analytic comparison between a physical system in the three-dimensional Euclidean color space and the perceptual system by means of a linear transformation therebetween.

    Abstract: To determine spectra, integrated multiple illuminant measurements from a non-fully illuminant populated color sensor may be converted into a fully populated spectral curve using a reference database. The reference database is partitioned into a plurality of clusters, and an appropriate centroid is determined for each cluster by, for example, vector quantization. Training samples that form the reference database may be assigned to the clusters by comparing the Euclidean distance between the centroids and the sample under consideration, and assigning each sample to the cluster having the centroid with the shortest Euclidean distance. When all training samples have been assigned, the resulting structure is stored as the reference database. When reconstructing the spectra for new measurements from the sensor, the Euclidean distances between actual color samples under measurement and each cluster centroid are measured. The spectra are then reconstructed using only the training samples from the cluster corresponding to the shortest Euclidean distance, resulting in improved speed and accuracy.

    Abstract: The scanner comprises an integrated photosensitive linear sensor (20) comprising N parallel lines of photosites, where N≧4, and preferably N≧6, with each line of photosites being associated with a respective bandpass optical filter. For each scanning step and for each pixel of the analyzed line, it delivers N corresponding quantized partial measurement values, each representative of the spectral reflectance of the document sensed through respective ones of the N filters. Spectral reconstruction means operate using an extrapolation method based on training from reference color samples, having a memory (42) storing a knowledge base formed from known spectral reflectance values of said reference samples, and a neural network (40) receiving as inputs the N quantized partial values and delivering as output at least one reconstituted quantized value representative of the spectral reflectance of the corresponding pixel of the document.
