Color name generation from images and color palettes

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for generating color names for colors corresponding to images and/or palettes. A color image is obtained, and one or more color palettes corresponding to the color image are identified. The color palette may be generated based on palette generation criteria, which may facilitate or control a palette generation process. Illustratively, the palette generation process may include image pre-processing, color distribution generation, representative color identification, palette candidate generation, and palette determination. A color name for each color identified in the color palette and/or the color image can be identified based at least in part on color name popularity information. Color name popularity information may be identified from color name-related voting results provided by a social network site. Aspects of the disclosure are further directed to processing the identified color name(s), such as updating color name metadata associated with the original color image and/or the color palette.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of a hardware computing device configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
accessing a first color image and associated first color image metadata provided by a source for inclusion in an electronic catalog;generating a first color palette by identifying a plurality of representative colors and associated weights from a color distribution corresponding to the first color image;determining a color name for each color in the first color palette based at least in part on color name popularity information; andadding at least one determined color name to the first color image metadata based, at least in part, on a determination that the at least one determined color name is not included in the first color image metadata and based, at least in part, on a comparison of metadata associated with the color name popularity information and the first color image metadata, wherein the comparison does not include a comparison of color names.
