First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for color selection in a color image, the method comprising:
- selecting a base color in a base color portion of a color image;
computing a perceptual color difference between the base color and a respective second color in the color image;
comparing the perceptual color difference to a tolerance; and
,identifying whether the color difference satisfies the tolerance.

23. A method for selecting a color in a color image, the color image having a plurality of candidate pixels, the method comprising:
-
selecting a reference pixel determining an original base color in a region of a color image; computing a color difference in a pre-determined perceptual color space relative between the color value of the reference pixel and the color value of each candidate pixel in the color image; applying a tolerance to each color difference; setting a flag for each candidate pixel having a difference satisfying the tolerance.
