Abstract
For each image in a collection of images, a respective model of visual weight in the image and a respective model of color in the image are determined. An image query is generated from a target visual weight distribution and a target color template. For each of the images a respective score is calculated from the image query, the respective visual weight model, and the respective color model. At least one of the images is retrieved from a database based on the respective scores.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- determining for each image in a collection of images a respective model of visual weight in the image and a respective model of color in the image;
- generating an image query from a target visual weight distribution and a target color template;
- calculating for each of the images a respective score from the image query, the respective visual weight model, and the respective color model;
- and
- retrieving at least one of the images from a database based on the respective scores.
A machine readable medium storing machine-readable instructions causing a machine to perform operations comprising:
- determining for each image in a collection of images a respective model of visual weight in the image and a respective model of color in the image;
- generating an image query from a target visual weight distribution and a target color template;
- calculating for each of the images a respective score from the image query, the respective visual weight model, and the respective color model;
- and
- retrieving at least one of the images from a database based on the respective scores.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- a modeling engine operable to determine for each image in a collection of images a respective model of visual weight in the image and a respective model of color in the image;
- a search engine operable to generate an image query from a target visual weight distribution and a target color template, the search engine being additionally operable to calculate for each of the images a respective score from the image query, the respective visual weight model, and the respective color model;
- and
- a user interface application operable to retrieve at least one of the images from a database based on the respective scores.
