  • Patent number: 11954725
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a computer terminal located at a flooring store that receives a measured color of a flooring product. A server receives paint product catalog information from a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, determines paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on the paint product catalog information, and runs a paint product ordering application that interacts with a web browser of the computer terminal. The computer terminal receives a paint product ordering web page from the server that enables a user to create an order for a paint product based on a selected paint color and transmits the order to the server. The server receives the order and communicates the order to the computer system at the coating manufacturer facility. The computer system receives the order for order fulfillment, including creating, packing, and shipping the paint product to the user.

  • Patent number: 11900638
    Abstract: Systems and methods for color selection are provided and include a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the computing device to receive an image and determine a dominant color for the image by dividing the image into pixel groups, analyzing pixels in each of the pixel groups at different sample rates based on how close the pixel group is to the center of the image with pixel groups closer to the center of the image having a higher sample rate, and determining the dominant color for the image based on the analyzed pixels in each of the pixel groups. The instructions further configure the computing device to determine a closest matching paint color for the dominant color for the image and display a color name or a color code associated with the closest matching paint color for the dominant color.

  • Publication number: 20240037753
    Abstract: A method for enabling a user to paint an image uploaded to a device is provided. The method includes uploading an image to the device, performing a depth estimation on the image to generate a depth map, and performing an edge detection on the image to generate a first edge map. The method also includes performing the edge detection on the depth map to generate a second edge map, performing a skeletonization function on the first edge map to generate a third edge map, and performing the skeletonization function on the depth map to generate a fourth edge map. The method also includes generating a final edge map using the third edge map and the fourth edge map, generating a colorized image by applying color to the final edge map to paint at least one wall of a scene, and displaying the colorized image on a display of the device.

  • Publication number: 20230316576
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a dominant color in a digital image are provided and include dividing a digital image into a first and second set of pixels and selecting pixels from the first and second sets based on first and second sample rates, respectively, the first set of pixels being closer to the center of the image than the second set and the first sample rate being greater than the second sample rate. A chroma and/or lightness filter is applied to the selected pixels. The remaining pixels after filtering are grouped based on hue, chroma, and lightness. A dominant color for the digital image is determined based on a color associated with the that has the greatest number of pixels.

  • Patent number: 11670006
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a dominant color in a digital image are provided and include dividing pixels of the digital image into pixel groups, with pixels in a first pixel group being closer to a center of the digital image than pixels in a second pixel group. Pixels in the first and second pixel groups having a chroma value greater than a predetermined chroma value threshold and a lightness greater than a low brightness threshold and less than a high brightness threshold are analyzed using a first sample rate for the first pixel group and a second sample rate for the second group. The first sample rate is greater than the second sample rate. A dominant color for the digital image is determined based on the analyzed pixels in the first and second pixel groups.
