Method and system for billing based on color component histograms

A system for processing image data comprising:

• an input device for receiving image data, and
• at least one processor for processing the pixels of the image data,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• receive image data defined by input provided by a user of the system comprising a plurality of pixels of a color space;
• determine at least a chroma value and a hue value of each of the plurality of pixels in the received image data correlating to at least perceptual image characteristics;
• determine statistics for the plurality of pixels using the at least determined chroma and hue values;
• analyze the determined statistics to classify the image data into a color category, each color category having boundaries defined by a predetermined range of chroma and hue values, and determine a billing structure for the image data based on at least the category.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored computer executable instructions, wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by a computer, direct a computer to perform a method for processing image data, the method comprising:

• receiving image data defined by input provided by a user of the computer comprising a plurality of pixels of a color space;
• determining at least a chroma value and a hue value of each of the plurality of pixels in the received image data correlating to at least perceptual image characteristics;
• determining statistics for the plurality of pixels using the at least determined chroma and hue values;
• analyzing the determined statistics to classify the image data into a color category, each color category having boundaries defined by a predetermined range of chroma and hue values, and
• determining a billing structure for the image data based on at least the category.
