Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for generating a visualization of a stained wood substrate are provided. The method includes receiving an image of the wood substrate to be stained; subdividing the image i-14 into a plurality of sub-images, each sub-image corresponding to the portion of the image having a color falling in a respective one of color bands; for each sub-image, retrieving a reflectance curve representative for the wood substrate for the color corresponding to the sub-image; retrieving absorption and scattering values for the stain; for each sub-image, determining the reflectance curve representative for the stained wood based on the absorption and scattering values for the stain and the reflectance curve for the wood substrate for that sub-image; and for each pixel of each sub-image, determining a color based on the reflectance curve representative for the stained wood, resulting in a generated image of the substrate after applying the stain.
