Abstract
People with Color Vision Deficiencies (CVD) may have difficulty in recognizing and communicating color information, especially in the multimedia era. In this paper, we proposed a recoloring algorithm to enhance visual perception of people with CVD. In the algorithm, color modification for color blindness is conducted in HSV color space under three constraints: detail, naturalness and authenticity. A new non-local recoloring method is used for preserving details. Subjective experiments were conducted among normal vision subjects and color blind subjects. Experimental results show that our algorithm is robust, detail preserving and maintains naturalness.
