Colorimeter: Creator Studio

Getting started

1. Collecting and saving samples

First of all, you will need to grab some colors, in our example we have collected 3 samples of wine percentages in pure water. We also have standardized the environment light, positioned the samples in front of our target and clicked in the bottom button to save. We also have attributed a name for each sample to quick found in the database later.

 

Sample name "1": 10% of wine in water.

Sample name "5": 50% of wine in water.

Sample name "111": 100% wine.

2. Creating one application using Creator Studio

Once we have a few samples in our database, we can navigate to Create application, and there we can click in 'plus' button to start application creation. Type a name, in our example is Wine %.

1)2)

After created, click in your application name, and you will have 3 new tab's. Database, Inputs and Train. In Database tab you can search for the samples that you have saved before. Click on each of them one by one and insert the reference/known value (Y) that you want to predict in the future.

3)4)

5)6)

Once you have finished the reference values attribution, in Inputs you will be able to see all of your selected samples. Then just go to Train, select your desired X input type (Hue,R,G or B) and click Train Model button. Now you will be able to see the results, then just click save using top button in toolbar.

7)8)

9)

3. Using your application in real time

To use your new application, go to menu and navigate to Use in Real Time, and start measuring your new samples. Here the model will make the predictions automatically and will produce a blue line of each predicted value. You also can set manually a upper and lower limit if you want.

In the example bellow, we can see our model make predictions of each wine % in water in real time!!!

Accounts

Now when you have downloaded Colorimeter app you can create your account for free!

It's very simple, just need an valid e-mail, name and your desired password and that's it! Your account will be used to store your applications created with Creator Studio. (Read our privacy and terms)

IN-APP purchases: Processing units 1x

You can create 2 models for free. After this, you will need to buy processing units that will allow you to save new models. Processing units are consumable items. If you exceed 2 saved models, after each model save, you will lose 1 (one) processing unit. Processing units are not mandatory, but recommended if you want to play a lot with machine learning color based models in our Colorimeter app. Hope you enjoy!

Okay but what is Creator Studio?

Since our app was released a variety of scientists have been publishing a lot of top level science papers using Colorimeter app. They have used some color parameters to achieve a lot of different results (check our scientific publications).

Now, Creator Studio is a new feature of our app colorimeter. Using creator studio inside of the app you will create, train, deploy and use Color Based Machine Learning Models in a few steps and can use in real time predictions with your camera!

Wait! Machine learning what is it?

Machine learning (ML) is the study of computer algorithms that can improve automatically through experience and by the use of data. It is seen as a part of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build a model based on sample data, known as training data, in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Machine learning algorithms are used in a wide variety of applications, such as in medicine, email filtering, speech recognition, and computer vision, where it is difficult or unfeasible to develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks.

Let Stanford Engineering explain this for you, go hard here https://see.stanford.edu/course/cs229 or go easy here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning.

Summary 

When you use our colorimeter app you can pick/grab/save colors right? 

All these colors are stored in your database. With some colors in your database you can now create a new application. Each application must have a name. 

Once you have created a new application you can select your color samples and attribute one value for each of them. 

Then you will have a pair of data, X values that will be your selected colors, and Y values that will be some attributed values by you. 

With X and Y values paired we now can train a model! 

Each model once trained will allow you to estimate new attributed values in real time using your camera, cool right?!
