Eye color paternity test
First Claim
1. A method of determining paternity based on eye color, the method comprising:
- electronically accessing a color digital image of at least one of a male parental candidate, a female parental candidate, and a child candidate;
digitally processing the color digital image to determine an eye color of the at least one of the male parental candidate, the female parental candidate, and the child candidate, wherein the eye color of the at least one of the male parental candidate, the female parental candidate, and the child candidate is determined based on the accessed color digital image by comparing a portion of the color digital image to a set of predefined human eye colors;
determining a paternity likelihood of the male parental candidate and the female parental candidate with regard to the child candidate based on the determined eye color of the at least one of the male parental candidate, the female parental candidate, and the child candidate; and
displaying the paternity likelihood of the male parental candidate and the female parental candidate with regard to the child candidate on an electronic device.

Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for determining paternity based on eye color. Determining paternity may include accessing a color digital image of at least one of a male parental candidate, a female parental candidate, and a child candidate. An eye color of each of the male parental candidate, the female parental candidate, and the child candidate may be determined, wherein the eye color of at least one of the male parental candidate, the female parental candidate, and the child candidate is determined based on the accessed color digital image. A paternity likelihood of the male parental candidate with regard to the child candidate may be determined based on the determined eye color of the male parental candidate, the female parental candidate, and the child candidate.
