METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AT LEAST ONE ADJUSTED SAMPLE COATING TO MATCH THE APPEARANCE OF A REFERENCE COATING
Aspects described herein generally relate to a method for determining at least one adjusted sample coating to match the appearance of a reference coating, and respective systems, apparatuses, or computer elements. More specifically, aspects described herein relate to methods and respective systems, apparatuses, or computer elements for determining at least one adjusted sample coating to match the appearance of a reference coating by considering visual deviations in appearance between a sample coating and an associated reference coating which are subjectively perceived by a human observer. This allows to determine if an adjusted sample coating being considered a better match in terms of appearance based on the appearance data also reduces or eliminates the subjectively perceived visual differences between the sample and the reference coating or not. In case the adjusted sample coating cannot reduce or eliminate the subjectively perceived visual differences, further adjusted sample coatings and/or further matching sample coatings obtained from a database search can be provided. Considering the subjectively perceived visual differences between a sample and a reference coating during determination of an adjusted sample coating allows to only provide adjusted sample coatings which reduce the subjectively perceived difference in appearance between the sample coating and the reference coating, thus avoiding proposal of adjusted sample coatings not being a better match with respect to appearance than the sample coating for the human observer.

This allows to rate the visually perceived deviation of the sample coating from the reference coating easily and intuitively by comparing the deviation perceived in the physical world by a human observer with images of the modified reference coating displayed within the user interface, thus providing a standardized classification of visually perceived differences in terms of appearance between a sample and a refence coating layer and avoiding the use of wordings and terms being subject to interpretation by the human observer.
Aspects described herein generally relate to methods and systems for object recognition using physical separation of luminescence and reflectance. More specifically, aspects described herein relate to object recognition systems and methods for recognition of at least one object having object specific luminescence and/or reflectance properties being present in a scene. The scene is illuminated by at least one illuminant. Upon illumination of the scene with the illuminant(s) at least one visible light sensor acquires data on luminescence and/or reflectance properties of the object(s) present in the scene. The object(s) present in the scene are identified with a processing unit based on the data acquired by the visible light sensor(s) and data on luminescence and/or reflectance properties associated with known objects retrieved from a data storage medium. The inventive system is designed to achieve near total physical separation of luminesced and reflected light upon illumination of the scene with the illuminant(s) by using filter units which selectively allow passage of a single range of wavelengths from the scene to the visible light sensor(s). If the visible light sensor(s) are associated with an illuminant, said filter unit is shared between the visible light sensor and the illuminant to achieve said selective passage of the single range of wavelength from the illuminant to the scene and back from the scene into the visible light sensor. The near total physical separation of luminesced and reflected light allows to detect the luminescence as well as the reflectance of objects present in the scene and results in improved reflection and/or luminescence based object detection due to ability to use the information derived from the determined luminescence and reflectance for object recognition.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBJECT RECOGNITION UTILIZING COLOR IDENTIFICATION AND/OR MACHINE LEARNING
Aspects described herein generally relate to methods and systems for object recognition utilizing luminescence identification and/or machine learning. More specifically, aspects described herein relate to methods and systems for recognition of at least one luminescent object being present in a scene using data generated by a luminescent object recognition system and further data on the environment of the scene.

Moreover, aspects described therein relate to a method for training an object recognition neural network using data generated by a luminescent object recognition system as well as methods and systems for object recognition using the trained neural network. Since the luminescent objects are recognized by the luminescent object recognition system at pixel level, highly accurate bounding boxes or segmentation can be created automatically from the output data of the luminescent object recognition system and the labelled images can be directly used for training of the object recognition neural network to improve its performance. This renders time- consuming manual labeling of images superfluous and allows to generate neural networks which are specifically trained on the respective scene, thus reducing the number of objects each neural network must recognize to the number of objects occurring at the scene. This allows to reduce the necessary training time as well as the computing power necessary for object recognition using the trained neural network.

Aspects described herein generally relate to methods and systems for generating display images of effect coatings. More specifically, aspects described herein relate to methods and systems for ad-hoc generation of high quality images displaying the color as well as the texture of effect coating(s) without the use of rendering techniques using predefined illumination conditions and object data of virtual objects. Instead, a visual 3D effect, i.e. the color travel associated with effect coating(s), is obtained by correlating an axis of a color image with an ordered list of measurement geometries prior to mapping the ordered list of measurement geometries and associated measured or scaled CIEL*a*b* values to the correlated row in the color image. A texture layer is added to the generated color image using an aspecular-dependent scaling function to reproduce the appearance of the texture with respect to different aspecular angles. Use of scaled L* values during color image generation avoids the loss of color hue information in the gloss region which is essential for performing visual color matching operations. The generated display images are especially suitable for assessing characteristics of effect coating(s) or for assessing color differences between two or more effect coating(s) based on the generated display images by arranging them side by side in horizontal order. It is also possible to transpose the display images by swapping the x- and y-axis of the images such that an optimized arrangement in vertical order, e. g. for mobile devices, is obtained.

The present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition, preferably an aqueous sanding surfacer or primer-surfacer, containing an aqueous epoxy resin dispersion (A), an aqueous amine-functional resin dispersion (B) and an aromatic carboxylic acid (C). The aqueous dispersion (B) contains at least one specific di- and/or polyfunctional monomeric amine (A1) and at least one resin component (RC) comprising at least one specific polyfunctional organic amine (A2). Moreover, the present invention relates to a kit-of-parts comprising a base varnish containing the aqueous epoxy resin dispersion (A) and a curing component containing the aqueous amine-functional resin dispersion (B) as well as the aromatic carboxylic acid (C). Additionally, the present invention relates to a process for producing a coating on the substrate as well as coated substrates resulting from said process. Cured coating layers formed from said compositions exhibit a good adhesion to the substrate as well as a high intercoat adhesion and blistering stability under humidity conditions without negatively influencing the excellent sandability and the good stone chipping properties.
