SYSTEM FOR NORMALIZING, CODIFYING AND CATEGORIZING COLOR-BASED PRODUCT AND DATA BASED ON A UNIVERISAL DIGITAL COLOR LANGUAGE

摘要

A system for normalizing, codifying and categorizing divergent color systems into a universal color language. A server connected to a communications network receives, processes, codifies and categorizes divergent color data from a merchant system. A middleware engine of the server receives a data feed comprising a plurality of color swatches or images from the merchant system, and normalizes the data feed into a common format. A server processor extracts image data comprising a plurality of product images from the normalized data feed, identifies and converts at least one dominant product color in each product image to a digital value based on color component intensity values, and assigns a hexadecimal code of the universal color language to each product image that is closest to the digital value of each product image. A product categorization engine categorizes each product image into one of a plurality of product categories.

主权项

1. A computer based method for normalizing, codifying categorizing divergent color systems into a universal color language, comprising the steps of:
receiving a data feed comprising a plurality of color swatches or images from a merchant system by a middleware engine of a processor based server over a communications network; normalizing the data feed into a common format by the middleware engine; extracting image data comprising a plurality of product images from the normalized data feed; segmenting each product image into a plurality of segments by an image segmentation processor; analyzing each segment to determine a dominant color for said each segment by a dominant color processor; determining at least one dominant product color for said each product image based on prevalence of said at least one dominant product color in said each segment by the dominant color processor; converting said at least one dominant product color of said each product image to a hexadecimal code of the universal color language based on color component intensity values by a matched color processor; categorizing said each product image into one of a plurality of product categories by a product categorization engine; and storing the data feed, said each product image, said each segment of said each product image, the dominant color for said each segment, said at least one dominant product color for said each product image, the hexadecimal code of said each product image, and the product category of said each product image in a database by the server.
