People with color vision deficiency (CVD) experience difficulties in discriminating some color combinations and color differences due to the abnormal retinal cone systems. While there exist smartphones with a re-coloring function for CVD, monitors do not provide the re-coloring function. In this paper, we propose a new re-coloring algorithm that adjusts the displayed colors for CVD using a color controller embedded in the monitor. The proposed algorithm converts the hue and saturation in HSV color space, according to the type and strength of the color deficiency. The results of the performance evaluation with a certain number of people with CVD show that the proposed system can convert colors imperceptible into perceptible.

This study is to investigate the color emotion associations of the color vision defectives, considering that the colors do have an effect on human emotional conditions. To realize this investigation, firstly we selected 100 normal persons (group C)and other 34 color vision defectives(group A), dividing the last group into two small groups as protanomaly group(group P) with 8 persons and deuteranomaly group(group D) with 16 persons. All participants have been offered to select one color from ten colors for each of three positive emotions such as 'favorite', 'happy' and 'friendly' and of three negative emotions like 'sad', 'disliked' and 'awkward'. And they selected another one color for each active and passive emotions. For 'favorite color' the group C selected 'blue' and 'red' while the group A chose 'blue'. For 'happy color' the two groups selected 'yellow'. For 'friendly color' the group C chose 'green', but the group A selected 'blue'. For 'sad color' the group C preferred 'blue', but the group A chose 'purple'. For 'disliked color' all groups selected 'bluish green'. For 'awkward color' the two groups preferred 'bluish green'. For 'active color' all groups selected 'red'. And for 'passive color' the group C chose 'bluish green', but the group A selected 'blue'. Depending on the type of color vision deficiency(group P and group D) some more differences were revealed relatively. These results should be applied to develop some intelligent color conversion technology for enhancing the usability of culture contents for color vision defectives.

전 세계 인구 중 약 4.5%의 사람들은 유사한 색의 구분을 하지 못하는 색각이상자이다. 이들은 보통 95.5%를 고려한 디자인 속에서 살고 있으며, 많은 불편을 겪고 있다. 이는 게임에서도 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있는 현상이며, 특히 같은 색의 블록들을 찾아야하는 매치3 게임에서는 원활한 게임 진행 자체가 힘들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 색각이상자들이 매치 3 게임을 하며 겪는 경험에 대한 이해와 그 이해를 바탕으로 기존 게임들이 적용한 UX장치들에 대해 분석한다.

Testing of color vision by Ishihara's test was followed in 1306 healthy elementary school students from 8 to 13 years old. The number of color deficiency was 27(2.07%) patients who consisted in 25(3.8%) boys among 654(male) and 2(0.31%) girls among 652(female). The male' s patients were definitely more than female's. The type of color deficiency were consisted in 10(37%) patients of red-green anomaly, 7(26%) patients of anomalous trichromatism, 6(22%) patient of red-green anopia and 4(15%) patients who were difficult to classify. All of patients were normal binocular vision and visual acuity.

While there are about 1 million color vision deficiencies in Korea, an assistive technology to digital contents of broadcasting and web for them remains scarce. In this study, we developed a generation method of the ICC profile to correct a graphic digital content adapted to various color perception characteristics of CVD by tuning the correction rules of the ICC profile by themselves. We tested the performance of the ICC profile to apply 10 Ishihara plates to the participants, 1 protanomaly, 1 protanomaly and deuteranomaly and 2 deuteranomaly. We used the color range information to build correction rules. Results of the test show that they passed Ishihara test by 97.5% success rate, compared to 20% success rate without it. The average time for them to spend to tune the customized ICC profile was about 13 minute without any diagnosis of specialist, any special instrument.

In current knowledge-based society, various information and communication tools are used in educational fields. Especially web becomes the most popular tool. However, for the disabled, web accessibility is a still main problem to overcome. The purpose of this paper is to improve web accessibility of color blindness by analyzing the educational web sites. The three suggestions for this study are as follows. First, use accent colors other then red or orange. Second, add the black and white conversion feature function on the screen. Third, construct colors of video clips and flash files that are appropriate for people with color blindness.

Color vision of color vision deficiency is possible using Color space's conversion of color image. Color vision of the RG-Color vision deficiency is possible by the case to maximize the G channel(+100), the case to minimize the G channel(-100), the case to maximize the R channel(+100), the case to convert the R channel to the yellow(Y) channel that is the value of $(-)b^*$ coordinate in CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color space, the case to separate with only the B channel and the G channel and to appear by the light and darkness difference again, and the case to receive the image only by the light and darkness after separation of saturation and conversion of RGB channel.

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility and repeatability for each color vision test method. Methods: The subjects for color vision test were 30 students without congenital color vision deficiency and they major in optometry in a university, Korea. The type of color vision test selected for this study were Hans color vision test, Hans 15 hue test and Lanthony D 15 hue test. The Ishihara test was added for assessment of reliability of inter-tester. Results: All of the subjects were classified into normal at pseudoisochromatic plates, but one subject's result showed mild blue-yellow color deficiency at Hue discrimination. Results of 3 repeated test for subjects and inter-tester examination showed no errors at pseudoisochromatic plates. There were differences in mild errors among repeated test at Hue discrimination, but no differences were found in the results of repeated test to classify color vision deficiency. Conclusion: Each tester had better be more skilled to test even simple color vision test for eliminating the possibility of mild errors. Each subject might just as well be careful in color vision test. It is required to test both method of pseudoisochromatic plates and Hue discrimination in screening test.

Color deficient people do not have sufficient discernment for the colors with low saturation and brightness and at the same time express their negative emotions regarding emotion distortion. The purpose of recovering the distortion of the vision which is the basis for emotion is to increase positive emotions rather than negative ones that those with color vision deficiency feel when they experience digital culture contents. Contrast increases saturation and brightness by differing the direction of their conversion and by doing so, delivers emotion distortion such as dynamic vs. static and vivid vs. somber that the original images intend to convey to those with color vision deficiency by reducing such a contrast. In this respect, this study proposes a contrast-based color conversion method to convert saturation and brightness in the zone of color conversion and identifies if this method can reduce emotion distortion by using color conversion simulation and user test.

This study performed apreliminary test with male high school students in Gwangju metropolitan city in order to determine visual function information of high school students. For the items in this preliminary test, there were inquiry, test for long distance unaided visual acuity, pinhole visual acuity test, colour vision test, cover test and stereo test. Most complaint related to eye was about blurred vision (28.4%) and over 90% of subjects had one or more, and among them, over 50% appealed two or more complaints. 76.1% of all subjects showed less than 0.7 in unaided distance visual acuity. In pinhole visual acuity test, 98% had an improved unaided pinhole visual acuity and most of them experienced an improvement and 2% had no change or dropped. The students with normal stereoscopic vision test were 85.6% and the students under normal range were 14.4%. In colour vision test, 7.9% of them were protanomaly and deuteranomaly and none of them had trichromasy and total color blindness. In cover test, it showed 30.2% of orthophoria, 8.2% of esophoria and 61.5% of exophoria, and none of them had strabismus.
