Objective Color Measuring System
Abstract
A project was established to design a practical instrumental method for judging color acceptability of textiles. The present visual method leads to subjective judgments that often are equivocal. The project was divided into four phases. Phase I determined that three commercial spectrophotometers are capable of meeting the optical requirements. In Phase II a prototype system was designed. This included development of a procedure for mathematical expression of acceptability; a rigorous system-wide calibration procedure; and computer software to control calibration and operation, to make necessary computations, to store required data, and to communicate between the master unit and remote stations. An expandable two-unit system was procured; the master unit is located at NLABS and one remote unit is located at the Defense Personnel Support Center in Philadelphia. This report outlines all four phases of the program; summarizes in some detail the results of Phase I and II, which are complete; and briefly discusses the beginnings of work on Phase III.
