Abstract:
[Object] To integratively index a surface property of a measured object by utilizing a measurement result at a plurality of illumination wavelengths and measurement angles. [Solution] A surface property indexing apparatus according to the present invention includes a measurement device that generates a plurality of captured images by capturing images of reflected light of illumination light on a surface of the measured object while selecting its wavelength, and an arithmetic processing apparatus that indexes a surface property of the measured object on the basis of the obtained captured images. The captured images generated by the measurement device are of the same wavelength of the reflected light that forms images in an image capturing device, and is of different reflection angles of the reflected light that forms images in the image capturing device in the direction corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the measured object in the captured image. The arithmetic processing apparatus reconstructs the generated captured images to generate a plurality of processing target images having a common wavelength of the reflected light and a common reflection angle of the reflected light and composed of pixels corresponding to the different view field positions of the measured object, and indexes the surface property of the measured object on the basis of the generated processing target images.

Abstract:
A computer implemented method. The method includes generating, using a processor, a set of calibration data relating to a plurality of pigments that are present in a collection of coatings. Generating includes calculating an absorption/reflectance relationship of a plurality of samples coated with a plurality of the pigments, wherein calculating includes using a color matching calculation, and calculating a plurality of concentrations of a non-standard pigment. Generating also includes plotting a relationship between the concentrations and the absorption/reflectance relationships, and determining a correlation of the concentrations for a plurality of Fresnel coefficients relating to the samples. The method further includes determining, using the processor, a coating formulation of a target coating based on the correlation.

A computer implemented method. The method includes obtaining (10), using a processor, spectral reflectance data from a spectrophotometric measurement of a target coating on a surface, wherein the measurement was taken at a specular angle, and removing (12), using the processor, at least a portion of the specular reflectance data that is attributable to a glossy coating of the surface. The method also includes constructing (14), using the processor, at least one spectral reflectance curve, and identifying (20), using the processor, at least one type of pigmentation effect of the target coating based at least in part on the at least one spectral reflectance curve.
Abstract:
In a method of generating synthesized appearance property data of a simulated material a Bidirectional Texture Function BTF representing the simulated material is used. The BTF is suitable for input into a rendering engine capable of generating a visual representation of the material on a monitor. In the method a densely populated original BTF (B) of a reference material (M R ) and sparse reflectance values (D) of a source material (M S ) are provided. A modified BTF (B') is then built by transferring said sparse reflectance values (D) into said original BTF (B).
Abstract:
Ein speziell für Messungen an gekrümmten Oberflächen konzipiertes Handfarbmessgerät umfasst ein eine Messanordnung beherbergendes Gehäuse (G) mit einem Gehäuseboden (5) und einer darin angeordneten Messöffnung (6), durch welche hindurch die Beleuchtung eines Messflecks auf der Oberfläche eines Messobjekts und das Aufpicken des vom Messfleck zurückgestrahlten Messlichts erfolgt. Die Messanordnung umfasst eine Beleuchtungsanordnung zur Beaufschlagung des Messflecks mit Beleuchtungslicht in mindestens einer Beleuchtungsrichtung und eine Aufpickanordnung zur Erfassung des Messlichts in mindestens einer Beobachtungsrichtung. Am Gehäuseboden (5) ist eine Mehrpunktauflage mit mindestens drei stiftförmigen Stützorganen (51, 52, 53) angeordnet. Zwei Stützorgane (51, 52) liegen symmetrisch zu beiden Seiten der Messöffnung (6), wobei ihre Verbindungslinie parallel zu und in unmittelbarer Nähe einer Beleuchtungs-Beobachtungs-Ebene verläuft, welche durch die Beuchtungs- und Beobachtungsrichtungen definiert ist. Das dritte Stützorgan (53) liegt querab im Abstand zu den beiden anderen Stützorganen (51, 52).
