Abstract

A system and a method to extract dominant color information using fusion of color space data. The color space data may include Red, Green, Blue (RGB) color space data and may include Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Intensity Value (V) color space data. Red, Green and Blue color space histograms may be computed and maximum count values of each color space may be obtained, which may help finding ‘shine’ information in the object. Normalized HSV color space may be fused with Normalized RGB color space for dominant color determination. The dominant color decision conditions involved in the fusion process may change based on a ‘shine’ flag.
