These are unpublished internal Munsell Laboratory reports. They in 8 parts presents the systems, samples, methods used for multi-spectral acquisition and spectral reflectance estimation using filtered tricromatic camera systems, as well as discussions about the results, comparison of methods.

This report summarizes researches performed to evaluate the feasibility of using the IBM PRO\3000 Digital Camera System associated with Kodak Wratten filters to reconstruct the spectral reflectances of artwork images and analyzes the performance and discuss possible enhancements.

Report.pdf
This report summarizes an experiment performed to evaluate the accuracy of the new multi-spectral acquisition system based on a priori spectral analysis followed by wide-band capture combining trichromatic camera and absorption filters. This report will be focused on the multi-spectral capture and spectral estimation based on a new set of complex image representing a painting and a series of color patches.

This report summarizes an experiment performed to evaluate the accuracy of the new multi-spectral acquisition system based on a priori spectral analysis followed by wide-band capture combining trichromatic camera and absorption filters. This report will be focused on the multi-spectral capture and spectral estimation based on a new set of complex image representing a painting and a series of printed color patches with a better distribution in color space.
