Expressions relating the bispectral reflectance of a stack of n fluorescing layers to each individual layer's reflectance and transmittance are derived. This theoretical framework is used together with recently proposed extensions of the Kubelka-Munk model to study the fluorescence from layered turbid media. For one layer over a reflecting background, the model is shown to give the same results...

A scanner characterization method based on an analytic spectral model was derived. Themethod firstmodeled the spectral formation of eachmedium using either Beer-Bouguer Law or Kubelka-Munk theory. Scanner digital counts were then empirically related to dye concentrations. From these estimated dye concentrations, either spectral transmittance or spectral reflectance factor could be predicted. Th...

Convallaria accompanied the scientific work of Prof. Kubelka through all these years, resulting in the Habilitation for Pharmacognosy in 1973. He is author of more than 100 publications dealing, for example, with the isolation and characterization of plant constituents, development of analytical methods suitable for the proof of quality of herbal substances and herbal preparations, biosynthesis...

We present a physically-inspired model of wax crayons, which synthesizes drawings from collections of userspecified strokes. Paper is represented by a height-field texture, and a crayon is modelled with a 2D mask that evolves as it interacts with the paper. The amount of wax deposition is computed based on the crayon contact profile, contact force, and friction. Previously deposited wax is smea...

This study introduces a new model and a new mathematical formulation describing the light scattering and ink spreading phenomena in printing. The new model generalizes the classical Kubelka–Munk theory, and unifies it with the Neugebauer model within a single mathematical framework based on matrices. Results like the Saunderson correction, the Clapper–Yule equation, the Murray–Davis relation an...

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...

Here we present the data on the energy-band-gap characteristics of composite nanoparticles produced by modification of the amorphous potassium polytitanate in aqueous solutions of different transition metal salts. Band gap characteristics are investigated using diffuse reflection spectra of the obtained powders. Calculated logarithmic derivative quantity of the Kubelka-Munk function reveals a p...

We report diffuse reflection imaging in air of concealed powdered samples using a terahertz quantum cascade laser. The sensitivity of the detection scheme to sub-surface absorption within samples is confirmed using fully-characterized powdered admixtures of polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Measurements of the backscattering intensity from these samples are then used in conjunctio...
