This tool is designed for UI designers and App developers.
Who are not considering about Power Usage of Mobile device.
Today most Mobile devices uses OLED display.
OLED display's power usage is related to color of UI
To be simple, white based UIs are bad and black based UIs are good for Power saving

This work includes tutorials in my repository.
Somethings are for experiments before making UI tool
And somethings are included in the UI tool
followings are the projects that is used in UI tool
Python3_Monsoon_ADB: https://github.com/joonb14/Python3_Monsoon_ADB.git
Python3_Image_Clustering: https://github.com/joonb14/Python3_Image_Clustering.git
PowerUsageofPixelXL_SVM_modeling: https://github.com/joonb14/PowerUsageofPixelXL_SVM_modeling.git

To run some of the special Features

to use option GreyScale Recovery, first download
colorize.lua
colornet.t7
from: https://github.com/satoshiiizuka/siggraph2016_colorization
then store these two files into model directory

you might need to change the port number in app.py
run this by python app.py
not flask run!

Test it in: http://css2.yonsei.ac.kr:13000

IDEA: Current UIs are not Practical in Power Consumption Issue

To achieve SVM model for Power estimation

UI Design Tool on flask

Tried Methods to change UI colors

RGB Order reconstruction

Achromatic Invert

GreyScale Recovery

from: https://github.com/satoshiiizuka/siggraph2016_colorization

UI Tool Screenshot

Result

Probably not much of difference in power usage unless you give up the pretty UI
Such as using Achromatic Invert or Invert
Which is not a good idea for UI Designers
So Working on Ver.2 of UI Design Tool
