  • Patent number: 7884968
    Abstract: A graphical scanner for scanning a graphical image includes a source for producing an optical beam, a monochromator for dividing the optical beam into a plurality of component beams for hyperspectral bandpasses, a director for directing the component beams to illuminate portions of the graphical image, a sensor for measuring a light intensity for the one or illuminated portions, and a translator for transforming the measured light intensities for each of the one or more portions into hyperspectral traces each representing a spectral power distribution. The translator further transforms the hyperspectral traces into one or more device-independent representations of color.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6771400
    Abstract: A graphical image scanner scans pixelated regions of a color image to measure light intensities in a plurality of hyperspectral bandpasses for each pixel. The scanner transforms the hyperspectral bandpass intensities into device-independent color representations for each pixel, using scientific color representations, for example, as defined in CIE-31 and CIE-76 colorimetry standards as devised by the Commission Internatonale de l'Eclairage (CIE).
