    Abstract: A method and a system are provided to measure transmittance or reflectance of a color specimen by using a transformation matrix obtained from the measurement values of a series of known transmittance or reflectance calibration color standards and multiple flashes from different illumination sources. A color spectrum can be determined with reduced error by calculating the reflectance spectra of an object using measurement matrices obtained under at least two illuminants and the transformation matrix.

    Abstract: When a light beam hits an opaque sample, the sample will reflect light towards various directions with various intensities back into the 2π hemisphere above the sample plane. Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) can be used to describe such a property of the sample. A hemi-spherical screen is used to collect the light in the 2π hemisphere, and a pin-hole imaging system can be used to map the intensity of light distributed in the 2π hemisphere into a 2-dimensional image. From this 2-dimensional image, the BRDF of the sample material can be obtained.

    Abstract: A method has been developed to improve the stability of a color measurement system that measures reflectances using matrix-transformation method. The transformation matrix can be obtained by training with a raw measurement matrix and a master reflectance matrix. The raw measurement matrix can be stacked with one or more of its variations, with each variation being some random noise added onto a part or the whole original raw signal matrix. The same number of master reflectance matrices are also stacked to match the size and sample ordering of the raw measurement matrix. The resulting transformation matrix will be more stable and less sensitive to the measurement noise.
