Claim:
1. A method comprising: capturing, by an optical sensor of a viewing device, an image of a real-world object, yielding image data; identifying, based on the image data, the real-world object depicted in the image; processing the image data using a processor of the viewing device to divide the captured image of the real-world object into at least a first region and a second region; identifying a color value for the first region and a color value for the second region; identifying a color value variation for the first region; determining that the color value variation for the first region is greater than an upper threshold for a desired color value variation range; in response to determining that the color value variation for the first region is greater than the upper threshold, increasing a size of the first region; retrieving virtual content data based on an identification of the real-world object, the color value for the first region, and the color value for the second; and generating a visualization of virtual content from the virtual content data in a display of the viewing device, the virtual content including colors indicated by the color value for the first region and the color value for the second region.
