Abstract

An object’s color depends on its reflectance and illumination, and dichromats cannot distinguish specific color pairs. It is considered that there is an appropriate illumination under which a dichromat can distinguish confusing color pairs. In this study, a fundamental investigation of an illumination transformation to assist dichromats is carried out. Because the appropriate illumination depends on the object, we propose a search algorithm for the optimum light source spectrum for an object. In experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method is examined using digital images and an sRGB display.
