We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Colour Sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Cameras capture colour and NIR images from
Firstsight Vision, which we summarised at the time by saying "Colour and NIR images are acquired simultaneously from exactly the same field of view".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Colour sensors automate carpet process from
Balluff UK: "Collins and Aikman decided to move its colour matching process from a manual to a fully automated process".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Cognex UK
concerning its DVT 535C colour sensor
- take a look at Machines sort flowers
which says: "The DVT 535C colour vision system has a compete set of colour tools for sorting, colour match and defect detection".
Take a look also at the news release from EMX Industries, Colour sensor operates at long range,
as well as Colour sensor matches human perceptions from Saelig Company,
and Two recognition modes for colour sensing from Silicann Technologies.
