Description

The method and apparatus of color calibration and check

The present invention relates to colour photometer, in particular for demarcating and check the method and apparatus of the demarcation of the colour photometer that is suitable for measuring a surface color that comprises human body skin.

Be well known that colour photometer such as colour meter and spectrometer can be used for the color of surface measurements, this is useful in a lot of occasions.For example, people's such as Macfarlane U.S. Patent No. 5,313,267 has been described method and the instrument that a kind of use one colour photometer is selected individual compatible color.And PCT publication number WO 96/41140 has described by using a colour photometer to survey in the color factors index variation of certain situation of reflection such as disease, pollution, aging etc. and has determined method and apparatus based on a subjects situation of color.Particularly, these method and apparatus can be used to detect the medical condition that is called bilirubinemia by measuring skin color.

But, accurate in order to ensure the measurement of skin color, demarcate with selectable routine inspection technology by routine usually and carry out.This demarcation can by measurement have in advance the color measured values measured an independent pre-color colour code and with measured value and the value comparison of measuring in advance to look at their whether basic identical carrying out.After demarcating, instrument prepares to produce the color measuring accurately of the color measured values that reflects a unknown sample characteristic usually.

In addition, it is a qualified colour code that is used for the demarcation of its hope that a colour code that is different from the colour code that is used to demarcate is carried out colour code that subsequently further check can help to be identified for to demarcate colour photometer, and demarcates and carry out according to predetermined dimension.

When colour photometer is used for medical applications, for example when they are used to detect unusual medical condition when (comprising bilirubinemia), be used to demarcate and the colour code checked very crucial.But colour code may be inaccurate, because abraded because of carelessness and/or made dirty by former user, perhaps because atmosphere or electromagnetic radiation make them fade, fade.In addition, the inaccurate Another reason of colour code is included in the quality control that colour code adds the cakes with moulded designs in building site.Adding unacceptable variation that building site inferior quality control can produce the colour code color (even colour code is new for unworn).In addition, can paste mistake from the defective colour code that adds the building site.

And when a colour photometer was used for determining a medical condition, the part of instrument produced optics sealing usually on the surface of patient skin.But in order to form sealing, this part of colour photometer contacts with skin physics usually.A shortcoming of this contact is that the surface of contact of instrument when an independent colour photometer is used to carry out this measurement can spread disease germs between continuous patient.

For this reason, an object of the present invention is to provide the method and apparatus that is used in other purposes such as the cleaning of carrying out the human body skin color measuring between the sample of experiment with measuring chamber of such invention.

Another object of the present invention provides improved color calibration and the method for inspection and equipment, can detect the inaccurate demarcation of inaccurate or underproof colour code and colour photometer.

Shown in Fig. 2 D, a colour code of the present invention can have three kinds or more kinds of pre-color.The colour code 250 of Fig. 2 D has the color that is arranged on one first pre-color on the middle part 225, be set in place the color of one second pre-color on the part 260 on part 255 radial outsides, be set in place the color of one the 3rd pre-color on the part 265 on part 260 radial outsides, and be set in place the part 270 on part 265 radial outsides.Although colour code 250 illustrates the color of four different pre-colors, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the color that the pre-color of any amount can be set on of the present invention surperficial 250.And the color of pre-color can be arranged in mode substantially at random on the colour code surface, if this at random in the scope of the color of pre-color each color or color grading have the color of pre-color of the color measured values of measuring in advance of the demarcation that is used for subsequently and check usefulness.One common feature of the colour code shown in Fig. 2 A-2D is that they have predetermined and known color structure, and the measured value of a predetermined portions on this surface is equivalent to have the known color of a color of being scheduled to of the color measured values of measuring in advance like this.

According to an aspect of the present invention, two different colors on the colour code can only be distinguished by an independent predetermined color measured value, for example when the color measured values of the measurement in advance of pre-color when CIE Hunter Lab Space (1948) measures and only measure the color measured values difference.In the case, according to the present invention, two colors can be considered to have the different color measured values of measuring in advance, need only L value difference and preferably differ 3 points.

A kind of method that obtains higher L value provides a high brightness floor to obtain by a district to colour code.In fact, when the high brightness floor is applied in the district of colour code, corresponding to the L value in this district very big (greater than 80 or 90 points).But this high brightness layer also can influence (normally increase) other color measured values of measuring in advance, i.e. a or b value widely.

Therefore, have the color measuring of a L value and relative unaffected (or low) a value or b value colour code in order to carry out a part, this part that can in expression or check, measure must comprise one have at least one have big L value (for example greater than about 80 and more preferably greater than about 90 points) color and a relatively little L value and the district of unaffected substantially (or low) a value and b value are arranged.

Like this, according to an aspect of the present invention, demarcation of the present invention and check can be undertaken by using a colour code with two kinds of different colours, and wherein first color has a high brightness layer and one second color has a rough low-light level layer.Underproofly be provided with in the colour code of high brightness layer on whole known part on it at one, a value and b value are inevitable very big.If a colour photometer is only programmed with big L value and hanged down a value and the b value is demarcated and check like this, can detect and get rid of underproof colour code according to the present invention.Although certainly described in this respect of the present inventionly, obviously can use any color coordinates to describe the color of colour code of the present invention according to CIE Hunter LabSpace (1948).

Demarcation of the present invention can be undertaken by measuring any known and predetermined part in colour code surface.Therefore, calibration measurements can comprise any known and predetermined part in colour code surface, which is provided with the color of an independent pre-color, be provided with the color of two kinds of pre-colors, perhaps be provided with the color of three kinds of pre-colors, as long as this part is equivalent to have a known color of the pre-color of the color measured values of measuring in advance.

According to the present invention, can use a color calibration and inspection machine to demarcate.Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of color calibration and inspection machine 300.Equipment 300 comprises shield 310, frame 320 and colour code 330.Colour code 330 can be installed on the frame 320 with pulling down.Frame 330 can have a shank 331 of catching for the user in the time will taking off colour code 330.Shield 310 is installed in, preferably removably is installed between colour photometer sensing head 340 and the colour code 330.Shield 310 can also have the shank of catching with hand for the user 311 in the time will taking off shield 310.And frame 320 itself plays a shield to a certain extent.

After using demarcation shown in Figure 3 and inspection machine 300 to demarcate, after taking off shield 310, can check and demarcate and colour code.Shield 310 can no longer obstruct the light up to shield 310 and enters colour photometer by taking off, comprise the shank 311 of catching shield 310 and pulling on any conventional method slave unit 300.

Perhaps, can followingly take off shield 310:(1) release apparatus 300 from the colour photometer head 340, the shank 311 of (2) pulling shield 310 takes off on shield 310 slave units 300, and (3) change the equipment 300 on the colour photometer head 340.

After taking off shield 310, the second known part of colour code 330 comprises whole colour code surface substantially, comprises the first all known parts 332.Especially, the second known part 334 comprises a surface of first and second colors which is provided with pre-color.

The second known part of using in checkout procedure 334 can be any part on colour code surface, as comprises a part of the first known part 332.The same with demarcating, check can be undertaken by measuring any known part in colour code surface.As following more detailed description, the first known part 332 and the second known part 334 can be corresponding to same surface regions, for example when at least a in two kinds of colors when being photosensitive.Therefore, one checking measurements (a perhaps calibration measurements) can comprise measures colour code one known and predetermined portions, which is provided with an independent color of pre-color, be provided with two colors of pre-color or be provided with the three or more colors of pre-color, as long as this known part is corresponding to the known color of the pre-color with color measured values of measuring in advance.When using two or more colors, they preferably are arranged for carries out the one or many color measuring simultaneously.After using demarcation shown in Fig. 3 and inspection machine 300 to demarcate, after removing shield 310, can check and demarcate and colour code.So the second known part of colour code 330 comprises the first known part, 332 whole colour codes surfaces substantially and can be the part on colour code surface which is provided with second color of first color of pre-color and pre-color.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the hole of a shield can have a transformable size.For example, shown in Fig. 4 A-4C, demarcation and inspection machine 400 comprise shield 410, frame 420 and colour code 430.Colour code 430 (as shown in Fig. 4 A) is similar to the colour code 205 as shown in Fig. 2 A.Colour code 430 preferably is fastened on the frame 420, so that its demarcation and check surface are in the face of colour photometer sensing head 440.Colour code 430 can have the shank of catching with hand for the user 431 in the time will taking off colour code.Shield 410 is installed between head 440 and the colour code 430 and can comprises a plurality of opaque 412 of can move relative to each other with the diameter that changes center pit 422, with a variable part (shield 410 refers to a dividing plate sometimes) that covers colour code 430.Shield 410 preferably has at least two exercisable positions that limited by opaque 412 relative position, but depends on that the quantity of required various demarcation and checking measurements can have more a plurality of.

Fig. 4 B illustrates frame 420 and the shield 410 that is in one first operable position, and wherein shield 410 covers a radially outer on colour code surface.In this position, have only the first known part 432 to measure.Fig. 4 C illustrates the shield 410 that is in one second operable position, wherein has only sub-fraction colour code surface to be covered.In the case, the second known part 434 is to comprise that first adds a part on the surface (adjacent part of the radial outside of the first known part 432) that is covered before the part.But when in the predetermined intermediate position (not shown) of shield 410 between first and second operation parts, the combination of a pre-color of pre-color can be measured.Certainly, the color configurations of colour code can be that any known structure does not need the specific colour code shown in Fig. 4 A.

Fig. 5 A-5C illustrates another and demarcates and testing instruments 500, comprises shield 510 (comprising shield spare 510a and 510b), frame 520 and colour code 530.Colour code 530 shown in Fig. 5 is similar to the colour code 220 shown in Fig. 2 B, but colour code can have the color structure of any known pre-color according to the present invention.Colour code 530 is fastened on the frame 520, so that the colour code surface is in the face of colour photometer sensing head 540.Colour code can have when the shank 531 that need catch for the user when frame 520 takes off colour code 530 with the color of measuring samples.Shield spare 510a and 510b can be installed in the toroidal frame 520 and between head 540 and colour code 530.Best, shield spare 510a and 510b can slide with respect to frame 520, are used to cover a required part on the surface of colour code 530.

Shield spare 510a and 510b can also have shank 511a and 511b separately, the user can slip into each shield spare in two exercisable positions (comprise a position of taking off fully) at least like this, but depends on that each the required demarcation and the quantity of checking measurements can have more a plurality of.For example, Fig. 5 B and 5C illustrate respectively the shield spare that is in " closing " and " opening " operable position.In off-position, semicircle shield spare has formed a circle and based on the outer annular region 535 that blocks colour code, thereby covers the measurable first known part 532.When shield 510 is arranged in open position, (be shown in Fig. 5 C), comprise that the second known part 534 of the former outer zone that is blocked 535 of the first known part 532 and at least some colour codes 530 is measurable.As mentioned above, shield 510 can be used for the predetermined intermediate position between first and second operable positions, and the combination of a predetermined color of the lip-deep pre-color of colour code is measurable like this.

In another embodiment, a colour code can have a plurality of parts that can measure when demarcating and/or check.When being used for timing signal, measurable part is meant one first known part on the colour code surface.When being used to check, measurable part is meant the second known part.Fig. 6 A illustrates colour code 600, comprises five districts 602,604,606,608 and 610 which is provided with different colours.Such one first known part can be any one in these five districts, perhaps depends on the shield of use and the combination of being scheduled to that its relative position can be these districts.Equally, one second known part can be any one or the predetermined combinations in these districts in these districts.Any one can be photosensitive in these five districts, and this will be described below.

Fig. 6 B illustrates the embodiment of a shield 620 that can be used in combination with colour code 600.Shield 620 preferably is flat substantially and has hole 622.Shield 620 can be made of the impervious material of any wavelength of visible light, and black preferably.

One first known part of colour code 600 or demarcation part can be selected by the relative position of regulating between colour code 600 and the shield 620.Regulate relative position and can comprise that rotation colour code 600 or shield 620 make another fix simultaneously.

For example, Fig. 6 C and 6D show and demarcate or inspection machine 630, and wherein colour code 600 is rotatable and shield 620 is fixed.Therefore equipment 630 can comprise colour code 600, shield 620 and frame 632.Frame 632 can be installed on the sensing head 640 of a colour photometer (not shown), and colour code 600 is fixed on the movable frame part 633, like this a photo-detector or the sensor of the surface of colour code 600 in the instrument head 640.The desired location of colour code 600 can for example be selected by moving the handle 634 that is fixed on the movable piece 633 by turret spare 633.Except rotational was marked with the different known part of the colour code 600 that is defined for measurement, shield 620 can take off on the whole slave unit 630, and known in the case part can comprise the surface of whole colour code 600 substantially.Shield 620 can be removed by a shank (not shown) and the pulling of catching shield 620, and can temporarily carry out when instrument head 640 is taken off at equipment 630 simultaneously.

Demarcate and check after, should colour code 600 be torn and fully colour code 600 taken off from movable piece 633 from parts 633 by catching and spur shank 601.Colour code 600 can be fixed on the frame 633 with cementing agent, like this when colour code 600 colour code 600 when frame spare 633 takes off destroyed, thereby guarantee that a unexposed colour code can be used for demarcating arbitrarily subsequently and checking.After colour code 600 took off from frame 633, frame 633 kept being installed on the head 640 of colour photometer, had not the sample of known color such as people's skin so that colour photometer prepares to measure one at any time.

When colour code 600 is removed, preferably expose a cleaning face (limit 635) of frame 632.The cleaning face on limit 635 then can directly be placed in color measuring subsequently on the unknown face (as skin).This cleaning face is especially useful in medical domain, and wherein the cleaning face reduces the possibility that spreads germs to other people from a patient.Take shield 620 away before being preferably in the color of the sample of measuring a unknown color, to subsequently measurement one bigger surface area can be arranged like this.

In the embodiment that changes, Fig. 6 E and 6F illustrate and demarcate and inspection machine 650, and wherein fixing the and shield 620 of colour code 600 turns.Therefore equipment 650 can comprise colour code 600, shield 620 and frame 652.Frame 652 can be installed on the transducing head 640 of a colour photometer (not shown), and colour code 600 is fixed on the frame spare 653, like this on the photodetection head or sensor of the surface of colour code 600 in the instrument head 640.Compare with equipment 630, the position of shield 620 in equipment 650 can be selected by rotating for example mobile handle 654 that is fixed on the parts 653 of shield 620.No matter how, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art according to the present invention on the colour code 600 that is used to demarcate and checks, employed concrete equipment can select a plurality of positions.

Demarcating and check back and, can colour code 600 torn and takes off colour code 600 from movable piece 633 from parts 633 by catching and spur shank 601 according to aspect the cleaning of the present invention.When colour code 600 took off, a cleaning face (limit 655) of frame 652 preferably exposed.Preferably also should before the color of the sample of measuring a unknown color, take off shield 620, so that measurable surface area maximum of sample.

According to another embodiment of the invention, Fig. 7 shows and demarcates and inspection machine 700.Equipment 700 comprises shield 710, frame 720 and colour code 730.Colour code 730 is similar to the colour code 220 shown in Fig. 2 B, and just colour code 730 is foursquare substantially.Any color that is arranged on the colour code 730 can be photosensitive, and this describes in detail below, and colour code 730 is fixed on the frame 720, and its demarcation and check surface are towards colour photometer sensing head 740 like this.Colour code 730 can have shank 731, catches with hand for the user when needs take off colour code.

Shield 710 is slidably mounted between sensing head 740 and the colour code 730.Correspondingly, shield 710 also has handle portion 711, is convenient to change position and/or (2) of shield 710 between demarcation and check with (1) and took off shield 710 from frame 720 before the color of measurement one unknown sample.Perhaps, the handle portion 712 of shield 710 can also be used for taking off shield 710 from frame 720.

Fig. 7 B illustrates the shield 710 that is in one first operable position, and wherein shield 710 covers the first known part 732 and the second known part 734 can be measured.When shield 710 was in one second operable position shown in Fig. 7 C, the 2nd known part 734 was covered and the first known part can be measured.When shield 710 was in the predetermined centre position of one between first and second operable positions, the predetermined color combination (for example first and second parts 732 and 734) of pre-color can be measured.

To be used for one be necessary during not with the color measuring of shield to above-mentioned natural covering technology will exposing simultaneously when the first and second known parts of colour code.When having only a known part to expose the timing signal that is used for not being with shield, can not need shield.But when check being exposed another known part of colour code, this colour code can demarcate and check between move or reorientate.An example that has the colour code of two faces is the flat board with two opposite flanks, and each side has a surface, has the pre-color with color measured values of measuring in advance.Colour code must stir respectively or exchange in the case, to expose suitable surface when demarcating and check.Perhaps, two surfaces can be positioned on the object that can distinguish, and object must upset or exchange between demarcation and check in the case.No matter whether use a shield, the invention described above is demarcated and the process of check stands good.

Compare with the actual shield technology that is used for above-mentioned demarcation and check, the method for the following stated relates to structural covering technology." reality " hides and to comprise physically and obstructing the light, and is limited by a physics shield so that the first known part or the second known part are local at least.But " structural " shield is undertaken by the colour photometer that does not have a physics shield and can use when the first known part and the second known part comprise identical color or identical color combination, and promptly this part is equivalent to the identical surface area of colour code.Structural shield of great use because be used for the present invention's color calibration in this respect and check is very simple and processing cost is low.

Fig. 8 illustrates the color calibration that is used for structural covering method of the present invention and an embodiment of inspection machine 800.Equipment 800 comprises frame 820 and colour code 830.Colour code 830 removably is fastened on the frame 820.As mentioned above, colour code 830 can have from frame 820 and conveniently takes off used shank 831.Taking off colour code 830 can relate to colour code 830 is for example torn by pressure or cementing agent connecting place at it from frame 820.Hide at physics under the situation of process, structural covering need carry out taking off colour code before the color measuring on the unknown sample.

When carrying out timing signal, demarcate color measured values and obtain by a known part of measuring colour code 830 with equipment 800.Colour code 830 is similar with the colour code 205 shown in Fig. 2 A, but can be any colour code of the present invention.For example, be used for the present invention's colour code in this respect and can have a surface, having at least two kinds of different colors one according to the present invention is that one first color characteristic is that one first pre-color has the color measured values of measuring in advance, and one second pre-color that is characterized as of one second color has the color measured values of measuring in advance.Can be used for another colour code of the present invention and have one or more districts, this district has a high brightness floor or photosensitive.

As shown in Figure 8, the first known part of measuring in calibration process may be substantially of whole colour code surface, but also can be a predetermined portions on this surface when using a shield.Certainly, frame 820 can itself play shield to a certain extent.When on an independent surface two or more colors being set, color preferably is arranged to be used for the color measuring of one or more whiles, even can carry out an independent color measuring of an independent color.This means that the first known part 832 and the second known part 834 can be arranged in the window that is provided by frame 820.

According to this embodiment of the invention, colour code 830 can be checked after demarcation and not change this part on the surface of measuring.Promptly the first known part and the second known part are meant the same surface region of colour code 830, and it can comprise the predetermined combinations of identical color or identical color.Demarcate identically according to this aspect of the invention, but check comprises an extra step.

This extra step is necessary, because in this structural technology, the second known part can have the checking measurements value that is different from the color measured values that check measures in advance.Therefore, in order to check colour code whether is the demarcation according to the invention one predetermined specification whether of the qualified colour code of a predetermined dimension and check colour photometer, must based on the check color measured values calculate color measured values, and these calculate the color measured values comparison of measurement in advance of numerical value and check.Calculate very simple because the color measured values of measuring in advance of check can be relevant with the detection color measured values by predetermined differentiated color measured values.Calculate color measured values can be the check color measured values with predetermined differentiated color measured values and or it is poor.

Therefore, the step of determining the color measured values of measuring in advance that the check color measured values equals to check substantially can comprise (1) calculate based on calculating of check color measured values color measured values, and (2) determine to calculate the color measured values color measured values of measuring in advance that equals substantially to check.

Hide in the situation of technology at above-mentioned physics, the known part of measuring in the demarcation of this structural covering technology and checking procedure can any known part of colour code, and can comprise a predetermined combinations of one first color, second color or first color and second color.When colour code 830 had the other color of establishing thereon, this known part also can comprise the color that those are other.

As mentioned above, calculate color measured values can be based on check color measured values and calculating.In one embodiment, calculate color measured values can obtain by adding or deduct predetermined differentiated color measured values to the check color measured values.For example, when this known part of measuring in when check be that predetermined differentiated color measured values can be based on the color measured values of measuring in advance of check when comprising first color a part of substantially.When if the color measured values of measuring in advance of the pre-color of check is equivalent to combination of first and second colors, then predetermined differentiated color measured values can be simply corresponding to the contribution of second color, i.e. " poor " between the contribution of the contribution of first color and first and second color combinations.

In another embodiment, the known part of measuring when check is a part that comprises second color substantially.In the case, being scheduled to discrepant color measuring can also be based on the color measured values of measuring in advance of check.If but the color measured values of measuring in advance of check is corresponding to first and second color combinations, then predetermined discrepant color measured values can be simply corresponding to the contribution of first color, i.e. " poor " between the contribution of the contribution of second color and first and second color combinations.

In a preferred embodiment, the known part of measuring in checking procedure comprises a predetermined combinations of first and second colors.Like this, if the color measured values of measuring in advance of check is corresponding to one first color, predetermined discrepant color measured values can be simply corresponding to " poor " between the contribution of the predetermined combinations of the i.e. contribution of first color of the contribution one of second color and first and second color.
