  • Patent number: 10026005
    Abstract: Provided is a color scheme evaluation apparatus including a color range storage unit and a color scheme evaluation unit. The color range storage unit configured to store information about a color range of a color scheme for an evaluation target object constituting an evaluation target screen. The color scheme evaluation unit configured to create an evaluation criterion usable for evaluating a color scheme for the evaluation target object, by interpreting a relationship of a group into which the evaluation target object is classified, on the basis of evaluation target object information including information about the color scheme for the evaluation target object and information about the group, and group relationship information including the relationship about the group, and to evaluate the color scheme for the evaluation target object on the basis of the evaluation criterion by referring to the information about the color range.

  • Patent number: 9245351
    Abstract: Provided are a color evaluation apparatus and the like capable of evaluating the appropriateness of a color scheme in an image to be evaluated. A color evaluation apparatus 101 includes a division unit 102 that identifies a partial region of an input image, an acquisition unit 103 that acquires color information for identifying a color contained in the partial region and a first character string contained in the partial region, an extraction unit 104 that extracts a second character string which is associated in advance with the color information, and an evaluation unit 105 that evaluates appropriateness of the color information according to a result of comparing the first character string and the second character string.
