System and method for color paint selection and acquisition

摘要

A system and method and computer program product for paint color recommendation. The system obtains measures of an environment to be painted and trains a learned model to input data received from customers including data representing each customer's initial color paint and pigment selection, and one or more of: a customer perceptual, a customer context, and environment measure (P/C/E data) to generate a sparse matrix. One or more paint vendors may then use the generated sparse matrix to determine a color pigment recommendation from a pigments color space for a customer. From a user selected color/pigment, and using the learned model, the system maps the selection, together with the user's P/C/E data back to the color/pigments space. User feedback representing a degree of satisfaction that the recommended color pigment applied to the user environment has matched the user's initial color paint and color pigment selection is elicited.

主权项

1. A paint color recommendation system for multiple paint vendors, said system comprising:
a memory storage device storing a program of instructions; a processor device receiving said program of instructions to configure said processor device to:
receive input data representing an initial paint color or pigment selection from a user;receive further input data representing one or more of a user's perceptual/cognitive/environmental (P/C/E) context;train, using a machine learning technique, a sparse regression model to received input data from multiple user's including each user's initial color paint and color pigment selection data, received user profile data, a received user context data, and a received measures data to generate a sparse matrix;map, using the generated sparse matrix, said user's initial paint color or pigment selection and user context data to a pigments color space;determine, based on said map, a color pigment or pigment mixture from said pigments color space for recommendation to the user; andcommunicate data representing said color pigment or mixture recommendation to a device.
