Abstract
A computer implemented method. The method includes identifying, using a processor, a bulk pigment in a target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process, and identifying, using the processor, at least one refined pigment in the target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process. The method also includes formulating, using a processor, a formulation of the target coating, wherein formulating comprises applying a Bayesian process, and outputting the formulation.
Claims19
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, using a processor, a bulk pigment in a target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- identifying, using the processor, at least one refined pigment in the target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- formulating, using a processor, a formulation of the target coating, wherein formulating comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- and
- outputting the formulation.
A system, comprising:
- a database;
- and
- a processor in communication with the database and programmed to:
- identify a bulk pigment in a target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- identify at least one refined pigment in the target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- formulate a formulation of the target coating, wherein formulating comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- and
- output the formulation.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for identifying a bulk pigment in a target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- means for identifying at least one refined pigment in the target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- means for formulating a formulation of the target coating, wherein formulating comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- and
- means for outputting the formulation.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including software for causing a processor to:
- identify a bulk pigment in a target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- identify at least one refined pigment in the target coating, wherein identifying comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- formulate a formulation of the target coating, wherein formulating comprises applying a Bayesian process;
- and
- output the formulation.
