Color-weak correction by discrimination threshold matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
The correction of the effects of color-weakness is difficult if not impossible. One of the reasons is that are no objective criterions available to evaluate corrections since it is difficult to quantify the color perception of an individual. Also the degree and the character of color-weakness vary widely among individuals and different color stimuli. In this paper, we use Riemann geometry to construct a new method for color-weakness correction. The basic mechanism is the matching between the discrimination thresholds of color-weak and of color-normal observers. The goal is to provide the same color perception of color-normal observers to the color-weak observer: it takes into account the individual differences between observers and since it defines a global deformation of the whole color space it is applicable for correction of complex visual inputs such as natural images.

Chromatic discrimination of natural objects.
Studies of chromatic discrimination are typically based on homogeneously colored patches. Surfaces of natural objects, however, cannot be characterized by a single color. Instead, they have a chromatic texture, that is, a distribution of different chromaticities. Here we study chromatic discrimination for natural images and synthetic stimuli with a distribution of different chromaticities under...
متن کاملRiemann Geometric Color-Weak Compensation for Individual Observers
We extend a method for color weak compensation based on the criterion of preservation of subjective color differences between color normal and color weak observers presented in [2]. We introduce a new algorithm for color weak compensation using local affine maps between color spaces of color normal and color weak observers. We show how to estimate the local affine map and how to determine corre...
متن کاملColor discrimination at threshold: the approach through increment threshold sensitivity.
A close correlation between Stiles's increment threshold (pi-mechanism) approach and color discrimination at threshold was found: a sharp transition from detection of two lights via two pi-mechanisms (pi 1 and pi 4) to detection via only one pi-mechanism (pi 1) was paralleled by a sharp decline from excellent discrimination between those two lights (even with the rods bleached) to no discrimina...
متن کاملModeling human color categorization: Color discrimination and color memory
Color matching in Content-Based Image Retrieval is done using a color space and measuring distances between colors. Such an approach yields nonintuitive results for the user. We introduce color categories (or focal colors), determine that they are valid, and use them in two experiments. The experiments conducted prove the difference between color categorization by the cognitive processes color ...
متن کاملRelationship between color discrimination and neural responses in the inferior temporal cortex of the monkey.
Earlier studies suggest that the inferior temporal (IT) cortex of the monkey plays a key role in color discrimination. Here, we examined the quantitative relationship between color judgment in monkeys and the responses of color-selective neurons in the anterior part of the IT cortex (area TE) by comparing neuronal activity and behavior recorded simultaneously while the monkeys performed a color...
