Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for combining or separating spectral components by means of a polychromat. A polychromat is employed to combine a plurality of beams, each derived from a separate source, into a single output beam, thereby providing for definition of one or more of the intensity, color, color uniformity, divergence angle, degree of collimation, polarization, focus, or beam waist of the output beam. The combination of sources and polychromat may serve as an enhanced-privacy display and to multiplex signals of multiple spectral components. In other embodiments of the invention, a polychromat serves to disperse spectral components for spectroscopic or de-multiplexing applications.

Abstract:
A multispectral imaging color measurement system, comprising a dark room (6), a sample platform and an imaging system (1) for photographing objects to be measured; also comprising a controllable illumination system, a filter wheel system, an imaging signal processing system and an electronic control system. The controllable illumination system provides a high spatially-homogeneous illuminated environment for the imaging system (1). The filter wheel system filters the reflected light emitted by the controllable illumination system and reflected by the sample to be measured, and provides a light band with a proper wave length for the imaging system (1) to image. The imaging signal processing system calibrates and performs reflective reconstruction for the image taken by the imaging system (1). The electronic control system controls the operation of each part of the multispectral imaging color measurement system. A method for processing imaging signals of the multispectral imaging color measurement is also proposed. The multispectral imaging color measurement system and the method for processing imaging signals thereof can overcome the defect of inaccuracy of traditional chroma imaging systems and spectrophotometer systems, and provide users in the textile industry with the basic functions of highly accurate color measurement and evaluation.
