MULTI-ANGULAR COLOR, OPACITY, PIGMENT CHARACTERIZATION AND TEXTURE ANALYSIS OF A PAINTED SURFACE VIA VISUAL AND/OR INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUES.

摘要

A computer implemented method. The method includes performing (73) at least one of a visual evaluation and an instrument measurement of a target coating on a target sample to generate colorimetric information, and identifying (82), using a processor, a bulk toner that is present in the target coating by determining a color and a color intensity at different viewing angles relative to the target sample. The method also includes identifying (84), using the processor, at least one specific toner that is present in the target coating by detecting a presence and an orientation of colored and/ or non- colored pigmentation effects that arc present in the target coating, and outputting (86), using the processor, a formulation of the target coating that includes at least the at least one specific toner.
