AI Technical Summary
Existing color adjustment methods in paint production are inaccurate due to variations in colorant strength characteristics of colorants from batch to batch, leading to inefficiencies in achieving a sufficient color match between sample and reference coatings.
A computer-implemented method that adapts optical data of individual color components in the sample coating formulation to minimize model bias caused by colorant strength variations, using a physical model and numerical optimization algorithms to calculate an adjusted sample coating formulation.
This approach results in a more accurate and efficient color match with fewer adjustment steps by better describing the real optical properties of individual color components, enhancing the quality and accuracy of the adjusted sample coating.
