The object color does not look same under the different light source. It depends on the surface spectral reflectance and the spectral distribution of light source. Therefore we should find the surface spectral reflectance of object color and the spectral distribution of light source for color reproduction. Using Winer estimation, we can reconstruct the spectral reflectance from low dimensional images obtained with a few filters. The kind and the number of filters have the effect on the estimation of the spectral reflectance. Therefore it is important that optimal filters are selected to minimize the error of the result. In this paper, we describe methods to select optimal filters with minimum error between measured and estimated surface spectral reflectance and to estimate surface spectral reflectance of Munsell color from six band images by using Wiener estimation.

Spectral reflrectance of the object should be mesured to predict the color of object under various illuminants. The spectral reflectance can be represented in a multidemensional space; Generally we can obtain only three-channel data from input device such as CCD camera, color scanner etc. The estimation from three dimernsional to multidimension can be achieved using principal components of spectral reflectance. In this paper, A method to predict the spectral reflectance of skin color taken by 3-channel input device is discribed. To confirm this method, we simulate color represent under various illuminants about yellow, white and colored women face.
