摘要:
A method is provided for measuring the color of irregular surface materials, including textiles which may provide dissimilar color measurements from different viewing angles, by illuminating a sampling area of the irregular surface material approximately perpendicularly thereto and measuring the color reflected from that area at a substantial angle, preferably about 45 degrees, with a plurality of separate photodetectors arrayed circularly around the illuminated sampling area of irregular surface material to receive the reflected illumination from substantially opposing directions and at a substantial angle to the illuminated area, for providing a more accurate yet lower cost color measurement system for textiles that can be used easily, quickly, and uncritically in terms of the handling, positioning and orientation of the textile material being tested.

In a color analysis method in which sheets with multiple different color printed test patches are moved relative to a color analyzing spectrophotometer, and in which fiducial marks are printed adjacent to respective test patches and optically detected by a fiducial mark detector to provide a triggering system for the respective test patch analysis, there is provided automatic diagnostic testing of the spectrophotometer and the fiducial mark triggering system, including automatically generating special test sheets, some of which may include test areas of varying density black.

To determine the spectra of objects that have different degrees of fluorescence, a plurality of reference databases are provided, each reference database being suited to a different degree of fluorescence. A most appropriate one of the reference databases is selected based on a predicted degree of fluorescence of an object for which a reflectance spectrum is to be determined. The prediction of the degree of fluorescence may be based on user input, or may be predicted by using a priori information, such as a priori knowledge of media types.

An LED spectrophtometer device for determining an aspect of the color of an object may include: a visible spectrophotometer comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes that emit light in the visible spectrum onto the object; at least one detector for detecting said light after being directed onto the object and for generating an output; and a UV light emitting diode assembly that emits light in the near ultraviolet spectrum and communicates with at least one detector for generating an output. The device may further include a processor that combines the outputs of the at least one detector of the visible spectrophotometer and the at least one detector in communication with the UV light emitting diode assembly.

A sheet curl measurement system and method and an automatic sheet decurling system controlled thereby for the printed paper sheets output of printer. The sheet curl may be remotely sensed without contacting or interfering with the motion of the sheets in their normal sheet path, using a simple but accurate optical sheet curl sensor operating on a portion of the moving sheet at an angle thereto and perpendicularly thereto, with displacement insensitive optics, in both an angular direction substantially parallel to the sheet movement direction and an angular direction substantially transverse to the sheet movement direction, with ratioing of the two output signals.

An improved and lower cost color spectrophotometer, especially suitable for an on-line color printer color control system, in which plural different spectra LEDs sequentially perpendicularly illuminate a common and substantially circularly illuminated color test area, which may be variably spaced and variably oriented relative to the spectrophotometer, through a common central lens system, and also the reflected illumination therefrom may be measured at 45 degrees thereto by averaging the outputs of photodetectors spaced around that circularly illuminated color test area, to provide reduced sensitivity to the variable angular or azimuthal orientation of the color test area relative to the spectrophotometer, and which photodetectors may be so illuminated by 1:1 optics for spatial insensitivity.

摘要:
By using a reconstruction algorithm, based on the spectral characteristics of the illumination source and a color sensing system, a spectral curve reconstruction device converts measurements from a non-fully illuminant populated color sensor into a fully populated spectral curve. This is done using a spectral measurement system model, which may use basis vectors.

摘要:
A developability sensing system with an optical sensor for measuring the density of imaging material samples on an imaging surface of a printer, with an illumination source and photosensor system for measuring the amount of reflected illumination from the imaging materials. A first lens system and its first photosensor may receive both specularly and diffusely reflected illumination from certain imaging materials. A separate lenslet system is positioned outside of the first lens system. It may comprise one to four spaced apart generally cylindrical lenslets with a central axis generally perpendicular to the imaging material sample and an end surface facing the imaging material sample defined by a segment of a hyperbolic curved surface to form a rotationally symmetrical lens with a hyperbolic cross-section. There are separate photosensors for these lenslets, which are positioned and optically adapted to only receive diffusely reflected light from the imaging material sample, even though reflected illumination from the imaging material sample has both specularly and diffusely reflected illumination from partially specularly reflective imaging materials.
