Claim 14:
15. A method, comprising:
capturing of an image of a sample using an image capture device;
identify a pre-defined region of the image corresponding to a portion of the sample, calculate using values from the pre-defined region one set of RGB values by averaging the RGB values for the pre-defined region,
applying, using one or more suitably configured processors, the one set of averaged RGB color values as inputs to a pre-trained artificial neural network, said artificial neural network having an at least an input and an output layer, wherein the output layer is configured to output color values in a pre-determined color space that is substantially similar to an expected output of a target color measurement device when the target color measurement device is used to measure the sample;
generating using the artificial neural network, using one or more suitably configured processor, an output value in the predetermined color space characterizing the one or more color values of the sample; and
providing, using one or more suitably configured processor, the output to one or more display devices.
