Colorimetric calibration of color scanners by back-propagation

Colorimetric calibration makes it possible to define a mapping function between the color coordinate system of a particular device and a CIE (Commision Internationale de Eclairage) standard representation of color. A simple method for calibrating a color scanner is described here. It employs a multilayer feed-forward neural network trained by back-propagation, using a standard color set as the training set. Experimental results appear to confirm the feasibility of the method.
