  • Display of effect coatings on electronic display devices
    Patent number: 9791318
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of displaying an image of an effect coating having texture and color properties on an electronic display device, using measured color data and measured texture data as input to generate the image, wherein the textured image is displayed with visual color properties which are maintained on a prescribed level independent of possible variations in texture properties.
    Type: Grant

  • Colour calibration of electronic display screens
    Patent number: 9135886
    Abstract: Process of color calibrating an electronic display screen comprising the steps of displaying at least one trial color of at least one physical sample having standardized color on an electronic display screen, visually comparing the color of the at least one physical sample and the at least one trial color displayed on the electronic display screen, selecting the trial color having the best visual match with the at least one physical sample, and using the selected trial color on the electronic display screen having the best visual match with the at least one physical sample color to color calibrate the electronic display screen.

  • Method and device for surface evaluation
    Patent number: 7027165
    Abstract: Device and method for recording the visual properties of a surface, comprising an imaging device for recording light interaction (reflection or transmission) with a surface, a light source, and a sample area for positioning a sample with a surface to be examined. The imaging device, the light source, and the sample area are arranged in such a way that in one image at least one of the surface properties is recordable as a function of a continuous range of angles between the illumination direction and the observation direction. The imaging device is a CCD camera. The device and method are suitable for imaging and evaluating visual properties which are dependent on the optical geometry, such as flop behavior and gloss.
