Abstract

A color detection system, comprising: a card having printed thereon a color chart comprising multiple colored areas, and at least one grayscale area; a camera configured to acquire an image comprising a pixel representation a sample positioned adjacent to the card; a storage device configured to store reference data corresponding to the color chart and the at least one grayscale area; and a processor configured to: perform a grayscale correction to the pixel representation of the color chart and sample using a grayscale correction transformation between the pixel representation the grayscale area and the corresponding reference data, estimate colorimetric coordinates for the sample by applying to the respective grayscale corrected pixel representation, a transformation between the grayscale corrected pixel representation of the color chart and the corresponding colorimetric reference data, and convert the estimated colorimetric coordinates for the sample to RGB.
