Abstract
Images may be analyzed to determine a visually cohesive color palette, for example by comparing a subset of the colors most frequently appearing in the image to a plurality of color schemes (e.g., complementary, analogous, etc.), and potentially modifying one or more of the subset of colors to more accurately fit the selected color scheme. Various regions of the image are selected and portions of the regions having one or more colors of the color palette are extracted and classified to generate and compare feature vectors of the patches to previously-determined feature vectors of items to identify visually similar items. The visually similar items are selected for presentation in various ways, such as by choosing an outfit of visually-similar apparel items based on the locations of the corresponding colors in the image, etc.
