Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The method and system may be used to provide an indication of a color value for a particular siding sample and to color match a specific siding product to the color value of the siding sample. The system receives a digital image of a siding sample and a desired color value to be matched. A color query module plots this desired color value as a desired color point in a multidimensional color space together with a plurality of color reference points. Each color reference point represents the color value of an existing siding product. The system determines a “distance” between the desired color point and each plotted color reference point within the color space and identifies the siding product associated with the color reference point that is located the shortest distance to the desired color point within the color space.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for matching the color of siding, the method comprising: displaying, via one or more processors, a positional overlay framing a digital image of a siding sample, the positional overlay including a color card reference area and indicating instructions for (i) a distance to be maintained from the siding sample with respect to an image capture device, (ii) an orientation of the siding sample with respect to the image capture device…
