Computer Implemented System and Method for Identifying Product Images Based Refined Color Histograms

摘要

A computer implemented method for searching an electronic database of product images, said method comprising the steps of: accessing a plurality of digital images of each of a plurality of products; segregating said images by color and product type; calculating the number of pixels for each color in each of said product images; dividing said colors into a plurality of discrete segments within the visible color spectrum; averaging the number of pixels for each color for each said image of a single product; applying a multiplier to blocks that exist within a cohesive quantized color group; normalizing said pixel count based on the percentage of the number of pixels within a predetermined range; storing said histogram into a database wherein each discrete segment has one value within the visual spectrum; and sorting the histograms in order of highest percentage of each color in the profile to lowest.

1. A computer implemented method for searching an electronic database of product images, said method comprising the steps of: accessing a plurality of digital images of each of a plurality of products; segregating said images by color and product type; calculating the number of pixels of each color in each of said product images; dividing said colors into a plurality of discrete segments within the visible color spectrum; averaging the number of pixels for each color for each said image of a single product; creating a histogram from said pixel count based on the percentage of the number of pixels within a predetermined range; storing said histogram into a database wherein each discrete color segment has one value within the visual spectrum; sorting the histograms in order of percentage of each color.
