System and process for automatically finding objects of a specific color

摘要

A computer implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying the Main Colors and the matching colors of a visual object, and then viewing on a mobile device select items comprising the matching colors, such as from a merchant's catalogue. A visual object is analyzed for color content, and the results are stored on a system database located on the device or on a remote server. The color analysis of the objects comprise advanced image processing techniques, such as Main Color extraction using color space transformation comprising HSV, RGB and CYMK to map between pixels in the image. The user can subsequently view a display on their mobile identifying the visual object's Main Colors and at least one Harmonic Color; and then select and view all items (i.e. products in a database) comprising one Harmonic Color, and/or all items of a specific type and Harmonic Color.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for identifying matching colors of a visual object, comprising,
a) capturing one or more visual object images on a user's terminal device; b) conducting a color analysis on said visual object images for constructing a color harmonics data based on said analysis; c) querying an Image Database against said color harmonics data, wherein the user selects a particular type of a visual object in said one or more visual object images; and d) in response to said querying, electronically transmitting and displaying results to a terminal, wherein said results comprise all harmonics when the user did not select a particular type of harmonic in step (c).
