This paper proposes an algorithm to reduce the estimation error of surface spectral- reflectance(SR) using a conventional 3-band RGB camera. In the proposed method, estimation error can be reduced by using adaptive principal components(PCs) for each color region. In order to build adaptive set of PCs, n SR populations are organized for n PC sets by using Lloyd quantizer design algorithm. Macbetch ColorCheckcer is utilized as initial representative SR values for 1485 Munsell color chips of total color population and the Munsell chips are divided subsets and a set of corresponding adaptive PCs per each subset is organized. As a result of experiments, the proposed method showed advanced estimation performance compared to both the two 3-band PCA methods and the 5-band wiener method.
