Systems and methods are provided an include generating a depth map by performing depth estimation on an image having at least one wall, generating a first edge map that includes a first set of edge lines outlining the at least one wall by performing edge detection on the image, generating a second edge map that includes a second set of edge lines by performing edge detection on the depth map, generating a third edge map by thinning a width of each edge line in the first set of edge lines, generating a fourth edge map by performing a skeletonization function on the depth map, generating a final edge map based on the third edge map and the fourth edge map, generating a colorized image by applying color to the final edge map to paint the at least one wall, and displaying the colorized image on a display.

Image processing to detect edges, walls, and surfaces for a virtual painting application

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.

Systems and methods for determining dominant colors in an image

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.

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.

Interactive paint product selection and ordering system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

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.

Systems and methods for analyzing colors

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.

Systems and methods for color selection are provided and include a web server configured to communication computer executable instructions to a mobile device that configure the mobile device to access a social media platform, retrieve a plurality of images from the social media platform, determine a dominant color for each image of the plurality of images using different sample rates for different pixel groups based on how close each pixel group is to the center of the image, determine a closest matching paint color for the dominant color for each image, and display at least one of a color name and a color code associated with the closest matching paint color for the dominant color for each image.

Systems and methods for analyzing colors from a social media platform

Systems and methods are provided and include a server configured to receive a copy of paint product catalog information associated with a coating manufacturer, store a paint product ordering application, receive a measured color of a flooring product from a dealer computer terminal located at a flooring store, determine paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on a measured color of the flooring product and the copy of the paint product catalog information, communicate the paint colors to the dealer computer terminal, run the paint product ordering application, receive an order for a paint product from the dealer computer terminal, and communicate the order for the paint product to a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, the computer system being configured to receive transmission of the order for the paint product from the server for order fulfillment at the coating manufacturer facility.

Interactive paint product selection and ordering systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable medium

Systems and methods for determining a dominant color in a digital image are provided, including a computing device configured to analyze pixels in a first pixel group of a digital image based on a first sample rate, analyze pixels in a second pixel group of the digital image based on a second sample rate, and determine a dominant color for the digital image based on the analyzed pixels in the first pixel group and the analyzed pixels in the second pixel group. The pixels in the first pixel group are closer to a center of the digital image than the pixels in the second pixel group and the first sample rate is greater than the second sample rate.

A website provides a paint product ordering application to a number of retail stores which enables generation of a single interactive web page having a paint product selection panel and an adjacent shopping cart panel, the web page allowing a user to quickly and easily generate successive paint product orders and successively transfer those orders quickly and easily to the shopping cart panel.
