20150032430 | Visualization Method - The present invention provides a method of digitally generating, via the use of a computer, data indicative of a synthesized appearance of a simulated material having physically plausible appearance attributes. The method includes determining a set of data indicative of the synthesized appearance of the simulated material based at least in part on data associated with the physically tangible source material and at least in part on data of measured attributes of the physically tangible reference material. | 01-29-2015 |
20140152990 | Hand-Held Measurement Device for Capturing the Visual Impression of A Measurement Object - A hand-held measurement device for appearance analyses includes a measurement array which comprises a number of illumination means for applying illumination light to a measurement field in at least three illumination directions and a number of pick-up means for capturing the measurement light in at least one observation direction. The illumination directions and the observation directions lie in a common system plane. At least one pick-up means is embodied to spectrally gauge the measurement light in a locally integral way, and at least one imaging pick-up means is embodied to gauge the measurement light in terms of colour in a locally resolved way. The spectral pick-up means and the locally resolving pick-up means are arranged such that they receive the measurement light reflected by the measurement field under the same observation conditions and in particular from the same observation direction. | 06-05-2014 |
20140063500 | Hand-Held Color Measurement Device - A hand-held color measurement device is provided that is designed especially for measurements on curved surfaces includes a housing that accommodates a measurement array and further includes a housing base and a measurement opening arranged in the housing base, through which measurement opening a measurement spot on the surface of a measurement object is illuminated and the measurement light reflected by the measurement spot is picked up. The measurement array includes an illumination array for applying illumination light to the measurement spot in at least one illumination direction, and a pick-up array for detecting the measurement light in at least one observation direction. A multi-point bearing includes at least three pin-shaped support members and is arranged on the housing base. Two support members lie symmetrically on both sides of the measurement opening, wherein their connecting line extends parallel to and in the immediate vicinity of an illumination-observation plane which is defined by the illumination and observation directions. The third support member lies transversely at a distance from the other two support members. | 03-06-2014 |
20120253727 | Color Measuring Device Calibration - In a calibrating method for a filter color measuring device that includes at least three color channels, a calibration matrix for transforming output signals of the color channels into tristimulus color values is formed. The calibration is performed spectrally, wherein the spectral sensitivities of the color channels of the color measuring device and the spectral emission properties of typical light sources are measured and stored, and the calibration matrix is calculated from the spectral sensitivities and the spectral emission properties of the light sources and the spectral evaluation functions of the standard observer, e.g., according to CIE 1931. | 10-04-2012 |
20120250022 | Hand-Held Color Measurement Device - A hand-held color measurement device is provided that includes a housing with an opto-measurement unit. The latter includes an optics array for receiving measurement light and a sensor array which is exposed to the measurement light, converts the measurement light into electrical measurement signals, and processes them to form digital measurement data. The measurement unit (M) consists of an aspherical input lens (L | 10-04-2012 |
20120250020 | HAND-HELD COLOR MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A hand-held color measurement device is provided that includes a housing with a measurement unit which receives measurement light through a measurement window, converts it into measurement signals, processes the measurement signals to form digital color measurement data, and provides it via a communications interface. A U-shaped bracket is arranged on the housing and includes a middle portion in which a diffuser is integrated. The two side arms of the bracket are rotatably mounted on the housing such that the bracket can be pivoted by 180° from a monitor position to an ambient light position and back to the monitor position, and wherein the diffuser lies in front of the measurement window in the ambient light position and is situated at a rear wall of the housing opposite the front wall in the monitor position. A holding mechanism is provided on the housing and on the two side arms of the bracket which fixes the bracket in its monitor position or ambient light position, respectively. The hand-held color measurement device is simple in design and specially suitable for monitor, projection area and ambient light measurements. | 10-04-2012 |

20100220314 | Method and Hand-Held Color Measurement Device For Gauging A Color Measurement Chart - In a method for gauging a color measurement chart which includes at least one row of adjacently arranged color measurement fields, a hand-held color measurement device is used which is moved over the color measurement fields in the row and gauges the color measurement fields in a multitude of individual measurements. The hand-held color measurement device is guided over the color measurement fields in the row in two measurement runs. In a first measurement run, first color measurement data of the color measurement fields is measured using a first type of illumination light, and the fields are identified on the basis of the first color measurement data. The first type of illumination light (typically, white) covers a sufficient portion of the spectrum to enable the fields to be identified by means of the first color measurement data. In a subsequent second measurement run, second color measurement data of the color measurement fields is measured using a second type of illumination light which does not cover a sufficient portion of the spectrum for identifying the fields (typically, UV). The second color measurement data is then assigned to the color measurement fields on the basis of the fields identified in the first measurement run. | 09-02-2010 |
