EFFECTIVE PIGMENT IDENTIFICATION METHOD, IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM, IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A method of identifying an effective pigment comprising:
- a first step of imaging a target effective pigment to obtain image data thereof;
a second step of subjecting the obtained image data to background processing and extracting image data concerning a region containing one particle of the effective pigment as image data for processing;
a third step of extracting image characteristic parameters from the image data for processing; and
a fourth step of identifying the target effective pigment, based on the image characteristic parameters of the target effective pigment extracted in the third step, using a pre-prepared database that stores information on various kinds of effective pigments in such a manner as to correlate with the image characteristic parameters of the various kinds of effective pigments extracted by conducting the second and third steps.

9. An effective pigment identification system comprising:
-
an image-capturing device for imaging the target effective pigment and obtaining image data thereof; a characteristic parameter detector for subjecting to background processing image data input from the image-capturing device, extracting an image of one particle of the target effective pigment, then subjecting the extracted image of one particle of the target effective pigment to image processing and computing various kinds of image characteristic parameters of the target effective pigment; and a recording device for storing a database that stores information on various types of effective pigments in such a manner as to correlate with image characteristic parameters calculated by the characteristic parameter detector; the characteristic parameter detector identifying the target effective pigment, based on the image characteristic parameters calculated from the image of the target effective pigment input from the image-capturing device, using the database.
