Sorting images by color

By Maxim on June 2, 2011

Here is a quick example how to sort images by color.

Basically I just sort images by hue of the major image color. The issue is how to get that color. I get some image pixels, clusterize them and take the center of the best cluster.

    Hi,
    I’m creative director of a Sydney design studio. We are trying to solve a digital obstacle here. We have 60,000+ images submitted via instagram. We want to sort and arrange images in order of their hue colour. Exactly as you have achieved above. The aim is to eventually print and create a photography installation show casing the full colour spectrum.

    Any advise you may have would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Matthew
