Emulating a spectral measurement device

Certain examples relate to emulating a spectral measurement device in a color measurement apparatus. In these examples, a primary spectral measurement device measures a first spectral characteristic of a rendered color output. A predictive model, parametrized by parameter values, is applied to the measurement from the primary spectral measurement device to determine a predicted measurement of a second spectral characteristic of the rendered color output which would be measured by an ancillary spectral measurement device. Parameter values are generated by training the predictive model with data from the primary spectral measurement device and the ancillary spectral measurement device.

Compact Computational Spectrometer Using Solid Wedged Low Finesse Etalon

A two-layer hybrid solid wedged etalon was fabricated and combined with a traditional imager to make a compact computational spectrometer. The hybrid wedge was made of Nb.sub.2O.sub.5 and Infrasil 302 and was designed to operate from 0.4-2.4 μm. Initial demonstrations used a CMOS imager and operated from 0.4-0.9 μm with spectral resolutions<30 cm.sup.−1 from single snapshots. The computational spectrometer operates similarly to a spatial Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with spectral reconstruction using a non-negative least squares fitting algorithm based on analytically computed wavelength response vectors determined from extracted physical thicknesses across the entire two-dimensional wedge. This computational technique resulted in performance and spectral resolutions exceeding those that could be achieved from Fourier techniques. With an additional imaging lenses and translational scanning, the system can be converted into a hyperspectral imager.
