    Abstract: In one example, an initial transform is stored for converting wavelength channel responses of a color measurement instrument to color readings. The initial transform is set in-factory by a manufacturer of the color measurement device. A color selection of a sample is subsequently retrieved from a database, where the color selection was made by an end user in response to a color reading by the color measurement instrument using the initial transform. An adjustment to the initial transform is calculated using the color selection. The adjustment is then sent to the color measurement instrument for use in making future color measurements.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for segmenting colors in a sample image comprised of pixels using a processor configured by code executing for selecting at least one color value present within the sample image and for each color selected from the sample image comparing the color values of each pixel of the sample image to the selected color value and averaging the color values of each pixels of the sample image having a color value difference below a pre-determined threshold. The method also includes outputting the average color value as a color value data object; and associating each averaged color value with sample image.

    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: A method is provided for identifying colors across illuminants using a processor configured by code executing therein, the method comprising capturing a sample image with an image recording device, the image including pixels representing a color sample under analysis and a color reference chart. The processor is also configured to execute comparing the color values of pixels representing the color reference chart of the sample image to the pixel values corresponding to a plurality of entries within a plurality of color reference datasets to determine the dataset representing the closest match of the illumination present at the time the sample image was captured. Using the identified illuminant, the color reference dataset having the closest illuminant is searched for the color under analysis.
