Abstract

This paper describes a colour image enhancement method for those having colour-vision deficiencies. The proposed method can be divided into 3 stages. Firstly, a conversion relation between the wavelength shift (measured in nanometers) of a colour deficient observer (CDO) and the severity of colour deficiency was established. Secondly, the perceived colour gamut was built by applying the conversion relation. Finally, the original images were re-coloured by adopting a gamut mapping algorithm to map colours from the gamut of colour normal observer (CNO) to that of a CDO. Psychophysical experiments were then conducted to show the effectiveness of the method.
