Abstract

Color blindness is a color perception problem of human eye to distinguish colors. Persons who are suffering from color blindness face many problem in day to day life because many information are contained in color representations like traffic light, road signs etc. Daltonization is a procedure for adapting colors in an image or a sequence of images for improving the color perception by a color-deficient viewer. In this paper, we propose a re-coloring algorithm to improve the accessibility for the color deficient viewers. In Particular, we select protanopia, a type of dichromacy where the patient does not naturally develop "Red", or Long wavelength, cones in his or her eyes. This algorithm when applied to the original image and after some processing provides satisfactory output image that is distinguishable by color deficient viewers.
