This theory was originally developed for paint films but works quite well in many circumstances for paper. It is not, however, terribly good for dyed papers (or very dark, unbleached papers) when light absorption reaches a high level. A limiting assumption is that the particles making up the layer must be much smaller than the total thickness. Both absorbing and scattering media must be uniform...

Colour realism plays an important role in computer graphics and visualization. In this paper, we present a new approach to direct volume rendering based on the Kubelka-Munk theory of diffuse reflectance. We show that not only the Kubelka-Munk theory facilitates a correct spectral volume rendering integral suitable for both solid objects and amorphous matters in volume datasets, but also provide...

Color matching of fabric blends is a key issue for the textile industry, mainly due to the rising need to create high-quality products for the fashion market. The process of mixing together differently colored fibers to match a desired color is usually performed by using some historical recipes, skillfully managed by company colorists. More often than desired, the first attempt in creating a bl...
