TRICOR’s Model 600 Imaging Spectrophotometer is an exciting new
product for measuring color. Unlike other imaging colorimeters, the
Model 600 can be used to measure radiated sources, reflectance as well
as transmittance from 380nm to 780nm. This spectral information can be
used to calculate various color coordinates; by convolving the spectral
curve with a user specified type of illumination and standard observer.
The software allows for any combination of illuminant (11+ types) and
standard observer (CIE 1931 or 1964). Resulting color units include XYZ
(Tristimulus Values), xyz (chromaticity coordinates), L*a*b* (CIELAB
1976), Lab (Hunter Lab 1946), u’v’ (CIE 1976 UCS), L*u*v* (CIE 1976
CIELUV) and CCT Correlated Color Temperature).
The “Imaging” portion of Imaging Spectrophotometer refers to the
system sensor, a camera, used to acquire spectral data over the
measurement area. All this functionality can be done on an image as
opposed to a single point. Every pixel location represents a virtual
independent spectrophotometer! Therefore, a 1280x960 image is
equivalent to having over 1.2 million independent spectral reflectance
curves.
Many other color systems on the market use the tristimulus method of
measuring color. The tristimulus method has a major distinct
disadvantage compared to the spectrophotometric method. The limited
tristimulus method simply measures a red, green and blue reflectance
over an area with a single illuminant. These devices give no
information regarding spectral/reference content; and therefore lack
the capability to directly detect metamerism. We are only beginning to
scratch the surface… Applications will continue to push the operating
envelope of this system. It will continue to improve, as new emerging
technologies become available to increase performance, capabilities and
ease of use.
