1. A method for identifying/accessing color related/indicated information, the information not being a color itself, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating, for a color image, utilizing a clustering component, a number of color clusters in the color space;
assigning each pixel in the color image to one of the color clusters; and
separating the information indicated by color in the color clusters;
color related/indicated contextual information being identified/accessed.

Abstract
In one instance, the method of these teachings for identifying/accessing color related information includes generating, for a color image, a number of color clusters in a color space (e.g. RGB, HSV, CYMK, LUV, etc.), assigning each pixel in the image to one of the clusters, and separating the information identified with the color of the cluster; thereby identifying/accessing the color related information.

6. A system for identifying/accessing color related/indicated information in a color image, the information not being a color itself, the system comprising:
-
an image acquisition device acquiring the color image; an image processing subsystem comprising; a clustering component generating a plurality of color clusters in a color space from the color image; at least one processor; and at least one computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein, the computer readable code causing said at least one processor to; assign each pixel in the color image to one of the color clusters; and separate the information indicated by color in the color clusters; color related/indicated contextual information being identified/accessed. - View Dependent Claims (7)
