Acquisition of Spectral Reflectances by using a Multichannel Camera and Color Reproduction

Abstract

Reconstruction of spectral reflectances of objects being imaged is very important for color reproduction, because color reproduction under various illuminations can be easily achieved. In this manuscript, we introduce the evaluation model for a color image acquisition device aimed at reconstruction of the reflectance spectra of objects being imaged. Multichannel image acquisition system was assembled and the quality of the system was evaluated. Experimental results are presented to show the color reproduction using the von Kries model.
