A Study of Skin Reflectance Using Kubelka-Munk Model

The Kubelka-Munk Theory of Reflectance

This theory was originally developed for paint films but works quite well in many circumstances for paper. It is not, however, terribly good for dyed papers (or very dark, unbleached papers) when light absorption reaches a high level. A limiting assumption is that the particles making up the layer must be much smaller than the total thickness. Both absorbing and scattering media must be uniform...

A Comparison between Kubelka-Munk and Geometric Models for Prediction of Reflectance Factor of Transparent Fibers

The reflectance factors of transparent fibers, free delustering agent, are predicted by geometric as well as Kubelka-Munk models. Transparent fibers are simulated by a net of glass capillary tubes containing different solutions of dyestuffs. Based on the results, prediction of the reflectance factor of capillary net by geometric model is relatively better than those obtained from Kubelka-Munk...

Prediction of Monochrome Reflectance Spectra with an Extended Kubelka-Munk Model

We present a prediction model for digital printers and more specifically for electrophotographic devices. On the one hand, we propose an electrophotographic simulation model which estimates the microscopic structure of any printed toner layer based on its input halftone bitmap. Applying BOUGUER–BEER–LAMBERT’s law, the obtained spatial toner arrangement yields the spectral transmittance distribu...
