Abstract: Creating a model calibrating spectral apparatus having an optical system that converts light to be measured into a spectrum, and a light-receiving sensor including a plurality of sensors that outputs signals, the sensors include sensors that output signals indicating respective energy amounts of a plurality of wavelength components. The model shows where a linear function of an indicator indicating a mechanical error in the spectral apparatus, expresses deviation of an indicator indicating spectral sensitivity of the sensor from the indicator indicating the reference spectral sensitivity of the sensor. The method comprises: a) acquiring reference spectral sensitivity; b) acquiring an indicator indicating the reference spectral sensitivity of the sensor acquired at a); and c) creating the model where the linear function of the mechanical error indicator expresses deviation of the spectral sensitivity indicator from the indicator indicating the reference spectral sensitivity of the sensor, acquired at b).

Abstract: In a gloss evaluation method and a gloss evaluation apparatus according to the present invention, an intensity P of specular light obtained by illuminating an object to be measured with illumination light of spectral irradiance emitted from the reference machine is obtained from an intensity of specular light obtained by illuminating the object to be measured with first illumination light of spectral irradiance from a relevant machine, based on an intensity b of dispersed reflected light obtained by illuminating the object to be measured with the first illumination light, and a spectral reflectance of diffuse reflection light obtained by illuminating the object to be measured with predetermined second illumination light from a different illuminating angle.

Abstract: The reflection characteristic measuring device according to the present invention is a device that includes a diffuse reflecting surface and measures a plurality of mutually different types of reflection characteristics by using a plurality of optical systems having mutually different geometries, which corrects the reflection characteristics to be measured by an error generated when light emitted from an object of measurement is reflected from the diffuse reflecting surface and illuminates the object of measurement. The reflection characteristic measuring device according to the present invention is therefore capable of reducing errors resulting from recursive diffused illumination.

Abstract: A spectral device is provided with: a filter having a property of transmitting light of multiple wavelength ranges from a measurement object; a driving means to slide the filter; and a detector to detect an intensity of the light from the measurement object, the light having passed through the filter, the detector to further measure the intensity of the light multiple times sequentially while the driving means slides the filter and thereby obtain multiple pieces of measured data to be used for a calculation of spectral information.

Abstract: Spectral apparatus includes sensors that output signals indicating the respective energy amounts of a plurality of wavelength components. For each of the sensors, its reference spectral sensitivity is acquired, and an indicator indicating the reference spectral sensitivity of the sensor, is acquired. The deviation of an indicator indicating the spectral sensitivity of the sensor from the indicator indicating the reference spectral sensitivity of the sensor, is expressed by a linear function of an indicator indicating a mechanical error in the spectral apparatus. The indicator indicating the mechanical error in the spectral apparatus, is acquired to adapt a spectral sensitivity set of sensors to a signal set output by the sensors. For each of the sensors, the deviation of the indicator indicating the spectral sensitivity of the sensor from the indicator indicating the reference spectral sensitivity of the sensor, is acquired, so that the spectral sensitivity of the sensor is acquired.
