Introduction - Goals and AccomplishmentsIntroduction - Goals and Accomplishments
Goal: Ability to model the reflectance of a color xerographic sample
Developed: Predictive color model based on Kubelka-Munk theory
Model extended to– Bidirectional Measurement Geometry– MultiLayer Images– Xerographic Print Samples
Background: Kubelka-Munk Background: Kubelka-Munk TheoryTheoryColor reflection depends on
– Material properties - the absorption and scattering spectra, K() and S()
– Sample thickness, X– Substrate reflectance spectrum, Rp ()
Model applies to– Uniform thickness samples with complete
substrate coverage– Single color images
Background: Saunderson Background: Saunderson Correction ParametersCorrection ParametersTwo parameters
– k1 and k2 - corrections are made for reflections at the sample surface
– Derived for integrating sphere measurement geometry
– Applied to reflectance spectrum before the Kubelka-Munk model
Introduction of kIntroduction of k00 Correction Correction
ParameterParameterk0
– Describes front surface reflection reaching detector of measurement device
– Correlation exists for 45/0 measurement geometry as a function of 75 image gloss
– Depends on refractive index ratio at the air-image boundary
