a complete non-contact color
measurement and imaging
solution.
The
DigiEye
System
The visual aspect of food, its colour and
overall appearance, is one of the most
important factors influencing the
consumer.
There is a direct correlation between
colour appearance and the product’s
quality, maturity and the perception
of being ‘fit for purpose’.
Minimise wastage.
Maximise retail revenues.
Protect the integrity of the brand.
Realise supply chain efficiencies.
It has never been more important to control
colour from source to store in order to;
This correlation has a significant impact on how produce and
ingredients are quality controlled for colour throughout the supply
chain.
The traditional method of Quality Control has been either;
Visual Assessment with uncontrolled or inconsistent viewing methods in terms of . . . .
The Viewer
Light Source
Angle of Observation
OR
Instrumental Measurement (Spectrophotometer / Colorimeter)
with restrictions and limitation. . . .
Works well on flat, opaque objects - limited by the diversity of
food products; irregular shape & form, inconsistent surface
texture and sheen.
Limited by aperture size, averaging the colour of the selected
area.
Crucially, the results bear no relationship as to how the human
eye see colour or the overall product appearance.
The Solution:
The DigiEye System from VeriVide is different.
Digitally capturing and measuring …..
- Texture, Colour & Appearance
High Resolution - Great Precision.
Consistent and Repeatable results.
Calibrated images – Colour visualisation.
Measures colour in context not in isolation.
Colour as seen by the consumer.
DigiEye – Measuring Colour in Context
DigiEye is a digital colour imaging system with many proven
applications in the Food Sector.
Offers the ability to consistently and reliably measure colour
& appearance using a non-contact method.
Characterized SLR Camera.- Recording colour data at millions of points
Calibrated Monitor & Printer.- Accurate on-screen product representation.
- Colour accurate photographic images.
Enclosed ‘DigiEye Cube.- Eliminating all ambient light.
- Product capture in Consistent lighting
- Both Angled and Diffuse lighting.
DigiEye measures colour and appearance using a non-contact
method.
- DigiEye is not restricted by non-uniformity; measuring the total colour
and appearance of 2D and 3D objects with incongruous surfaces.
- It can measure a diversity of properties; Liquids, Gloss, Solid.
- The natural properties of transient foods for use as Product Standards.

DigiEye colour measurement is very quick
and easy.
No aperture restrictions – measure a single
pixel or can average the whole image if
required.
No need to destroy the product – Note the
colour change caused by grinding the malt.
This is misleading.
Multiple selection tools to ensure we are
measuring only the areas of interest.
All measured data can be stored or exported
via .QTX format
DigiEye is able to measure very selective
areas.
Note the lime green area is measuring only
the malt’s surface and not the shadow
between them.
More accurate and repeatable than a
Spectrophotometer .
Measured data can be saved or exported.
DigiEye is able to measure multiple
colours in one selection.
Multiple components can be measured
in situ, without destroying the product.
No restriction on how many colours can
be measured in one selection.
Measuring the components in situ gives
a much better representation of the true
colour.
All measured colours can be saved
directly to the DigiEye database
DigiEye can measure liquids through a
transparent container.
QC for both the liquid and vessel.
Closer to what the customer sees when
buying.
Allow user to compare various bottle
types;
– Virgin PET or
– Recycled.
Allows standard/batch assessment at a standard depth.
Measures the surface, not influenced by suspended particles.
Allows creation of digital standards – both colour and spectral
information.
Allows Multiple samples can be measure automatically using
a location template.
A variety of properties can be extracted – see the list above.
Standard
Batch 1
Batch 2
Results exported directly to a CSV file.
100 samples in one measurement has been achieved using
this method
Traditionally very difficult to do instrumentally
The sophisticated selection tools allow more exclusive
measurements to be taken.
Graded imageOriginal image
Assessment of bake colour
Perfect match equals value of 5.
As difference increases value decreases. If the tone differs
then this is reported with a verbal description.
Under or over baked products will become off-tone.
Illumination can be either diffuse or angled depending on application
Diffuse Illumination
Flattens the images. Ideal
for colour measurement
Angled Illumination
Highlights surface details. Ideal
for accurate appearance
Ratio Bleed:White:Dark 1:3:6
Ratio Bleed:White:Dark 1:1.2:2.8
Measured Colour Difference between biscuits on Packaging –
Chocolate is too red.
High Resolution
images.
Easy to read text.
All colours can be
measured for
standard/batch
comparison.
Accurate colour
and appearance.
Calibrated images.
Angled illumination - preserving all
shadow and specular highlight.
Very realistic appearance in both
surface detail and colour.
Calibrated print-outs.
Can be used for end of line QC checks.
All calibration information stored within
the image.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
Visual ripeness scales can be added to
DigiEye software.
Allows objective assessment of ripeness.
Ideal for items where shelf life is critical
e.g. Fruits.
Assessment only requires one person.
Products can be measured inside their
packaging.
Two way communication with retailer,
less chance of spoilage and rejection.
DigiEye can be used for both packaging and food development.
The virtual sample has been retextured to ensure all of the
original detail is retained.
Save time in the development process and speeds up time to
market.
LAB data can be extracted from the virtual sample and used in
formulation software.

I believe DigiEye
is will placed to
become the default
colour
measurement
system for the
Food Industry.
