    摘要: Color measuring systems and methods are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a central source fiber optic and receive light reflected from the surface of the object being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object being measured. Under processor control, the color measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention.

    摘要: A color measurement apparatus is adapted as an attachment for a personal computing system. An interface integral to the color measurement apparatus couples the color measurement apparatus to the personal computing system. A computer pointing device integral to the color measurement apparatus provides a pointer input for the personal computing system. A spectral sensing device integral to the color measurement apparatus measures light received via an input port in a plurality of spectral bands. A light source integral to the color measurement apparatus emits light external to the color measurement apparatus. The color measurement apparatus is operable in first, second and third modes of operation. In the first mode of operation, the computer pointing device provides pointer input of a user to the personal computing system. In the second mode of operation, the spectral sensing device measures light generated by a display of the personal computing system. In the third mode of operation, the light source provides light to a printed object printed by a printer coupled to the personal computing system and the spectral sensing device is adapted to receive and measure light that is returned from the printed object.
