Abstract
A reflectometer has a depth sensor which obtains distance information between the depth sensor and an object, a light source which emits light having a calibrated light spectrum, a spectral sensor which collects spectral information from light reflected from the object, and a circuitry. The circuitry calculates a reflectance spectrum for the object based on the distance information and the spectral information collected from light being reflected from the object, wherein the light originates from the light source.
