Abstract:
Using an image capturing device, multiple images can be obtained at different angles with respect to a surface of a target coating. In one computer-implemented embodiment, a method involves using a filtering technique to perform an image analysis on the obtained images to determine the presence of sparkle points within the images. A color attribute analysis can then be performed to determine various color attributes associated with the determined sparkle point. A sparkle color distribution can then be calculated in response to the color attribute analysis. A coating formulation can then be generated, in association with the calculated sparkle color distribution, which is the same or substantially similar to the target coating.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer implemented method, comprising:\n obtaining, using an image capturing device, multiple images each obtained at a different angle with respect to a surface of a target coating; performing, using an electronic computer processor in operative association with at least one filtering technique, an image analysis on the obtained images to determine at least one sparkle point within the images; performing, using the processor, a color attribute analysis to determine at least one color attribute associated with the determined sparkle point; calculating, using the processor, a sparkle color distribution in response to performing the color attribute analysis; and generating, using the processor and in association with the calculated sparkle color distribution, a coating formulation that is the same or substantially similar in appearance to the target coating.
