Abstract
A method may include obtaining an image that includes a connected component that includes a set of pixels, calculating a representative color for the set of pixels, mapping the representative color to an application color in an application color palette of an application, and generating an electronic document that includes a revised version of the connected component in the application color.
Claims20
A method for generating an electronic document by processing an image, comprising:
- obtaining an image comprising a connected component comprising a plurality of pixels,
- wherein the image further comprises a writing board and the connected component that is drawn on the writing board with a marker, and
- wherein the plurality of pixels comprise a plurality of colors due to noise factors associated with the marker;
- calculating, by a processor, a representative color for the plurality of colors;
- mapping, by the processor, the representative color to an application color in an application color palette of an application;
- and
- generating, by the processor, the electronic document comprising a revised version of the connected component entirely in the application color.
A system for generating an electronic document from an image, comprising:
- a memory storing the image comprising a connected component comprising a plurality of pixels,
- wherein the image further comprises a writing board and the connected component that is drawn on the writing board with a marker, and
- wherein the plurality of pixels comprise a plurality of colors due to noise factors associated with the marker;
- and
- a processor connected to the memory that:
- calculates a representative color for the plurality of colors;
- maps the representative color to an application color in an application color palette of an application;
- and
- generates the electronic document comprising a revised version of the connected component entirely in the application color.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable program code embodied therein that:
- obtains an image comprising a connected component comprising a plurality of pixels,
- wherein the image further comprises a writing board and the connected component that is drawn on the writing board with a marker, and
- wherein the plurality of pixels comprise a plurality of colors due to noise factors associated with the marker;
- calculates a representative color for the plurality of colors;
- maps the representative color to an application color in an application color palette of an application;
- and
- generates an electronic document comprising a revised version of the connected component entirely in the application color.
