Examination of the revised Kubelka–Munk theory: considerations of modeling strategies

Abstract

The revised Kubelka–Munk theory is examined theoretically and experimentally. Systems of dyed paper sheets are simulated, and the results are compared with other models. The results show that the revised Kubelka–Munk model yields significant errors in predicted dye-paper mixture reflectances, and is not self-consistent. The absorption is noticeably overestimated. Theoretical arguments show that properties in the revised Kubelka–Munk theory are inadequately derived. The main conclusion is that the revised Kubelka–Munk theory is wrong in the inclusion of the so-called scattering-induced-path-variation factor. Consequently, the theory should not be used for light scattering calculations. Instead, the original Kubelka–Munk theory should be used where its accuracy is sufficient, and a radiative transfer tool of higher resolution should be used where higher accuracy is needed.
