ABSTRACT:
A method for measuring a flexible colored material during a manufacturing process. The method includes automatically diverting the flexible material from a process path, placing the flexible material in contact with a rotatable drum, and measuring spectral data of the flexible material as the drum rotates. Measuring the spectral data includes scanning the flexible material with a line scanning detector having an array of detectors. The method also includes processing scan information to form a single image of the flexible material.
