Abstract
The disclosure includes a system and method for distinguishing objects of similar appearance that vary in color. An image recognition application receives a query image of a plurality of objects, determines a candidate list of indexed images that match an object in the query image based on luminance features, crops an image of the object from the query image to generate a cropped image, computes color features for the object, ranks the candidate list of indexed images based on the color features, and provides the candidate list of indexed images to a user.
