EXTRACTING DOMINANT COLORS FROM IMAGES USING CLASSIFICATION TECHNIQUES

摘要

A method and system for generating a detector to detect a dominant color of an image is provided. A dominant color system trains a detector to classify colors as being dominant colors of images. The dominant color system trains the detector using a collection of training images. To train the detector, the dominant color system first identifies candidate dominant colors of the training images. The dominant color system then extracts features of the candidate dominant colors. The dominant color system also inputs an indication of dominance of each of the candidate dominant colors. The dominant color system then trains a detector to detect the dominant color of images using the extracted features and indications of dominance of the candidate dominant colors as training data.
