  • Color detection using spectroscopic imaging and processing in random array of microspheres
    Patent number: 7034941
    Abstract: A method of determining one or more color characteristics of a colored microsphere comprising: providing a microarray of microspheres, including at least one colored microsphere which has a color characteristic; producing a magnified optical image of individual microspheres of the microarray; locating a microsphere in the aperture of a spectrometer to confine the color region of interest of the located microsphere in order to determine one or more color characteristics thereof; and determining one or more color characteristics of the located microsphere by means of the spectrometer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2006
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Samuel Chen, Anthony E. Taddei, Joaquin Calcines, Krishnan Chari, Martin C. Kaplan, Douglas L. Vizard
  • Color detection in random array of microspheres
    Patent number: 6947142
    Abstract: A method of determining one or more color characteristics of a colored microsphere comprising: providing a microarray of microspheres, at least one of which has a color characteristic; capturing the microarray with an electronic color image sensor assembly having a matrix of pixels to produce an electronic microarray image; detecting the location of a microsphere within the captured microarray image; and identifying a color characteristic of the detected microsphere.
