The Cookie Crumbles Based on a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive titled 2013 Bad Ads Survey, “87% of Americans are now putting their foot down on the number of irrelevant ads they are willing to see before they ignore a company completely.” Until now, advertisers utilized users’ web site history and computer cookies to identify which ads to display. All too often these mechanisms represent what happened in the past and usually represent searches or purchases already completed by the consumer. Image analytics allows for the modeling of future purchases and is predictive not backward looking, like behavioral analytics.

The palettes include all the tints, tones and shades for the colors found in the image, and exact matches and proportions are displayed in the color wheel. The tiles are also ordered by proportion of the color in the image. The first palette tile represents the dominant palette in the image. The first color tile represents the dominant color within that palette.
