    摘要: A method is described including displaying a user's body portion image on an optical display of a device employed by the user. The device may include an image sensor and the body portion image may be sensed by the sensor. The method includes determining whether a position of the body portion image relative to the sensor is acceptable to allow for recording of the body portion image; determining whether a lighting environment associated with the sensor is acceptable to allow for recording of the body portion image; recording the image using the sensor to provide a recorded image having image data; processing the recorded image to determine lighting model data associated with the lighting environment; and determining reflectance and color characteristics associated with the body portion based on the recorded image and the lighting model data. In one embodiment the optical display has an illuminant and when the lighting environment is not acceptable for recording, the method instructs the user to modify the lighting environment so that illumination of the body portion is less than about 2% of the illumination provided by the illuminant, illuminates the body portion with constant white light using the illuminant and determines whether the illuminated body portion is positioned relative to the sensor to allow for recording of the body portion image by displaying an outline of the body portion on the optical display to position the body portion in view of the sensor. Processing of the image in this case may include direct computation to determine the lighting model.

    摘要: In some implementations, an optical device may include an aperture, one or more optical elements, an optical filter, and an optical sensor. The aperture may be configured to receive light. The one or more optical elements may be configured to diffuse the light received by the aperture, direct the diffused light to the optical filter via a folded optical path, wherein a length of the folded optical path is greater than a distance between the aperture and an input surface of the optical filter, and cause the diffused light to be distributed across the input surface of the optical filter. The optical filter may be configured to filter the diffused light distributed across the input surface of the optical filter to pass portions of the diffused light associated with one or more wavelengths to the optical sensor.

    摘要: In one or more implementations, the apparatus, systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to configuring a color measurement device to output color measurements that match the expected output of a different color measurement device. In a particular implementation, a method is provided for matching the color measurements made by a color measurement device to the color measurements made by a target color measurement device by implementing a single step color calibration and conversion process using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). By way of non-limiting example, the raw counts from the color measurement device is converted to a specific color space, such as L*a*b, directly through an ANN. Such ANN is trained to ensure the output of the color measurement from the color measurement device will match with the output of the color measurement from a target color measurement device.
