Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method and a device that can measure an unknown target coating; can search, based on the measured data of the target coating, a database for one or more best matching coating formulas, i.e. one or more preliminary matching formulas, within the database; and that can refine the search using an image similarity metric between images of the one or more best matching coating formulas on the one side and images of the target coating on the other side, using deep learning techniques.
