Increasing visibility of pixel patterns in images

A system comprising:

• a color-identification module configured to:
• access an image depicting an object;
• apply a machine-learning model to the image to generate a transformed image, wherein generating the transformed image includes modifying one or more pixels of the image to reduce color distortions from the image;
• and
• determine a set of colors from the transformed image;
• a segmentation module configured to:
• access the image and the determined set of colors;
• and
• identify a set of pixels depicting a particular color of the set of colors;
• and
• a color-conversion module configured to:
• access the set of pixels;
• convert an initial set of pixel values of the set of pixels at an initial color space to another set of pixel values that define the particular color of the set of pixels in another color space;
• and
• modify one or more values of the other set of pixel values to generate a modified set of pixel values, wherein the modifying includes causing the set of pixels visually indicate a simulated color that is different from the particular color.

A computer program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions configured to cause one or more processing devices to perform actions including:

• receiving an image depicting an object;
• a step of generating a simulated color for a set of pixels of the image, wherein the simulated color is generated by:
• (i) processing the image using a machine-learning model to reduce color distortions from the image;
• (ii) identifying a particular color from the processed image;
• (iii) identifying a set of pixels depicting the particular color;
• and (iv) modifying pixel values of the set of pixels to depict a simulated color that is different from the particular color;
• and
• outputting the set of pixels depicting the simulated color to be displayed on a display device.
