Dye Concentration Estimation in Bicomponent Solution by Neural Network Based Scanner

Spectrophotometeric technique is common method for measuring concentrations in dye mixture solution, but there are several problems and disadvantages in this technique. Therefore, application of inexpensive and uncomplicated methods is desirable. This research explains a new method for dye concentration measurement by a scanner. In this method neural network is used to make relationship between scanner RGB values and dye concentration in mixture. Then, this new method is compared with normal spectrophotometric method. The obtained results indicate that the performance of neural network based scanner method is comparable with normal spectrophotometric method.
