Color Matching Spanning the Visible and Near-Infrared: Use of the Cubic Spline Function in Interpolation

Abstract

The colorimetric and spectrophotometric procedures for color matching are compared, and the advantages of each discussed. It is shown that the spectrophotometric procedure can provide a good spectral match across the visible and near infrared. An empirical investigation showed that the Saunderson correction is useful for color matching on textiles, and that the Kubelka-Munk equation appears to be accurate within our current experimental error.
