Abstract
An input image of a customizable product comprising a markup is partitioned into a plurality of image regions based on color and color differences. The partitioning comprises assigning a color difference value to plurality of locations within the input image. The partitioning further comprises assigning each of the plurality of locations to an image region of the plurality of image regions, where the assigning occurs according to a particular order. The particular order is based at least in part on color difference values associated with the plurality of locations. Data representing at least a particular portion of the markup in the input image based on the partitioning is identified. Data representing at least the portion of the markup is used in a visualization of the customizable product or a manufacturing control associated with the customizable product.
