                          the relative drift from the standard to be monitored. The advantage is
                          that more color sensing can be economically distributed across the
                          target area. When a significant relative deviation is detected, an alert
                          signal can flag the absolute color sensor to take a reading in the sus-
                          pect area. If enough storage space is available in a central processing
                          computer, lookup tables can be constructed to relate the serially com-
                          municated color sensor readings to a standard color coordinate sys-
                          tem like the CIE system.

                          There are two internal software algorithms, or sets of rules, for ana-
                          lyzing fuzzy logic color sensor data:
