Abstract:
A method for identifying a stain on a textile ( 10 ), the method comprising the steps of: performing near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy to obtain spectral data from the stain over a range of wavelengths ranging from a shortest wavelength to a longest wavelength, the shortest wavelength having a value of 1595 nm or longer; accessing reference spectral data ( 33 ) of known stains; and comparing the spectral data of the stain to the reference spectral data of known stains to identify the stain.

Claim (Index 9):
A stain determination system for identifying a stain on a textile including:\n a near-infrared reflectance (NIR) spectrometer which operates over a range of wavelengths, the range defined by a lower bound corresponding to a shortest wavelength; and an upper bound corresponding to a longest wavelength, the shortest wavelength being 1595 nm or longer; and an analysis module comprising a storage means, the analysis module configured to receive the spectral data from the NIR spectrometer; to retrieve reference spectral data of known stains from the storage means; and to compare the spectral data from the NIR spectrometer with the spectral data of known stains over the entire range of wavelengths, whereby a match between the NIR spectral data and the reference spectral data for a specific stain identifies the stain on the textile.
