Abstract
A color that readily leaves an impression is adopted as the representative color of a color image. Pixels that form a color image are distributed in L*a*b* color space and are projected onto the a*b* plane. The pixels are grouped and the color at the centroid position of each group is adopted as a representative candidate color. A first score is calculated based upon the distance from the origin, which is indicative of gray, to the representative candidate color, and a second score is calculated from the number of pixels contained in the group. A final score is calculated from the first and second scores and representative candidate colors that provide the three highest final scores are decided upon as representative colors.
