Color matching of fabric blends: hybrid Kubelka-Munk + artificial neural network based method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Color matching of fabric blends is a key issue for the textile industry, mainly due to the rising need to create high-quality products for the fashion market. The process of mixing together differently colored fibers to match a desired color is usually performed by using some historical recipes, skillfully managed by company colorists. More often than desired, the first attempt in creating a blend is not satisfactory, thus requiring the experts to spend efforts in changing the recipe with a trial-and-error process. To confront this issue, a number of computer-based methods have been proposed in the last decades, roughly classified into theoretical and artificial neural network (ANN)–based approaches. Inspired by the above literature, the present paper provides a method for accurate estimation of spectrophotometric response of a textile blend composed of differently colored fibers made of different materials. In particular, the performance of the Kubelka-Munk (K-M) theory is enhanced by introducing an artificial intelligence approach to determine a more consistent value of the nonlinear function relationship between the blend and its components. Therefore, a hybrid K-M+ANN-based method capable of modeling the color mixing mechanism is devised to predict the reflectance values of a blend. © 2016 SPIE and IS&T [DOI: 10.1117/1.JEI.25.6.061402]

Color Matching of Blends Prepared From Black and White Fibers by Neural Networks (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The color of the blends of pre-colored fibers depends on the ratio of each fiber in the blends. Some theories have been introduced for color matching of blends of pre-colored fibers. Most however, are restricted in scope and accuracy. Kubelka and Munk presented the most applicable theory, which is still used in industry. In this work, the classical Kubelka-Munk method for color prediction of a ...

The proposed algorithm suggests a new method for determination of K/S value of primaries based on linear least Squares Technique. By applying the matrix pseudoinverse, a modification is introduced to eliminate the limitation on the numbers of applied dyes in one – constant Kubelka-Munk theory. The selection of dyes for tristimulus matching are also done on the basis of the initial spectrophotom...
