Die Blende (B) liegt im Wesentlichen in der Brennebene der Eingangslinse (L 1 ), der Diffusor (D) ist in unmittelbarer Nähe der Blende (B) und in der Brennebene der Sensor-Linse (L 2 ) angeordnet. Die Filter (F 1 , F 2 , F 3 ) und die Sensoren (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 ) sind nahe der optischen Achse (A) angeordnet und werden mit im Wesentlichen parallelem Messlicht beaufschlagt. Die Filter (F 1 , F 2 , F 3 ) sind auf die spektralen Charakteristiken der Color Matching Functions des Standard-Beobachters nach CIE 1931 ausgelegt. Für Umgebungslichtmessungen kann ein zusätzlicher Diffusor (D E ) der Eingangslinse vorgesetzt werden.

Abstract:
An image processing system is used for dentistry. Upon creating a false tooth of a patient (59), a plurality of illuminating light of LEDs with different wavelengths emit light and a photographing apparatus (1A) photographs a tooth portion of the patient (59), thereby obtaining image data. The image data is sent to a dentistry filing system (2A) serving as a processing apparatus, and color reproducing data is obtained by calculation. The color reproducing data is sent to a dentistry factory (55) via a public line. Data is searched from a database (56) for calculating a ceramic compounding ratio, compound data of the ceramic false tooth is obtained, matching the color of the tooth portion of the patient (59), and the false tooth approximate to the tooth color of the patient (59) is created. The photographing apparatus has a control unit (18) which switches between a spectroscopic image capturing mode and a moving image capturing mode.

A color measurement system (5) includes a multi-purpose filter and optics assembly (36). The filter and optics assembly includes at least one tube array (60) for segmenting received light. The segmented light is mixed and the polarization qualities of the light are modified so to minimise the effects caused by angular adjustments. A diffuser (56) mixes the segmented light. Additionally, the color measurement system includes an ambient light attachment (24) for collecting light from the viewing area surrounding a computer display. The ambient light collected is then analyzed, and a viewing area profile is created. The viewing area profile then can be used by software to adjust the colors displayed on the computer displays.
