Ask HN: Best ML/AI libraries for extracting dominant colors from images

1 pointarchon8101 comment

If you do any sort of color extraction from images, what is your best tool to do so, preferably in the form of a plug-and-play library you can throw at an image file?

We've been playing with our own algorithms, but they leave something to be desired, and I wonder if we're trying to reinvent the wheel if this is a solved problem.

Thank you, HN.

I took a class on computer vision and we used the OpenCV library extensively [0]. I remember that we had a project relating to detecting certain traffic signs, and obtaining the dominant color of images was a big part of my solution. Also, this tutorial seems like it would be helpful [1].
