컴퓨터와 인터넷의 발달로 과거에는 서적이나 신문과 같은 종이를 통하여 공급되던 정보들이 전자문서로 바뀌고 있고, 전자문서에서는 색상 정보를 동반한 그래픽과 영상 정보의 비중이 크게 높아지고 있다. 그러나 색상 인식 기능이 없거나 손상된 색각 장애자의 경우 전자 문서에서 색상으로 전달하는 중요한 정보를 인지하지 못하여 정보 취득의 평등권이 침해당하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 윈도우즈를 운영체계로 하는 컴퓨터에서 적록 색맹 및 색약을 가진 색각 장애자를 위하여 전자 문서상에서 제공되는 색상을 변환하여 보정하는 색각 보정 시스템을 설계하고 구현하여 그 타당성을 입증하였다. 개발된 시스템은 여러 문서를 동시에 사용할 때에도 적용된 보정 색상이 유지된다.

This study is concerned with an assistive technology which reduces color blinds´s confusion when they access electronic documents including color objects in their computers. In this study, 1 restrict the assistive technology would apply to windows operating system, 256 color mode and implement to minimize color distortion which occurs in multi window environments because of color approximation process. As a basic palette, I use a 216 colors web safe palette which the Christine proposed as a standard for color blind, expand it to 256 colors to apply all computer displays using Microsoft Windows as its operating system and implement it as windows application. To test its effectiveness, I use a simulator for dichromats, as results of the test, the developed color vision deficiency correction S/W is effective to reduce the confusion. It is more effective to use the implemented S/W in both of design and client process for electronic documents.

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.

색각 이상자는 특성 색상에 대한 판별이 떨어지므로 색 정보에 대한 판별 향상을 위해서는 색상의 적절한 변형이 필요하다. 본 논문은 전 세계의 1/12에 해당하는 색각 이상자를 위한 실시간 색역폭 사상 구현에 관한 것이다. 색각 이상자를 위한 실시간 색역폭 사상은 3차원 룩업 테이블과 이를 이용한 3차원 보간기로 구성이 되며, 여기서 3차원 룩업 테이블은 각각의 색각 이상자들의 특성을 고려한 보정 데이터를 사용한다. 제안된 방식은 DTV와 같이 고속의 영상 신호에 적용이 용이하고 또한 3차원 룩업 테이블의 변경에 따라 여러 유형의 색각 이상자에도 적용이 가능하다.

This paper proposes a new re-coloring method for the people with the red-green color vision deficiency (CVD). These people have difficulty in discriminating the red and green colors since they abnormally perceive the hue and luminance value of the colors. We introduce a color transformation that adjusts the hue and luminance value in HSV color space. The color transformation is determined according to the severity of CVD. Our aim is to maintain the color differences in original image while maintaining the recolored image to be natural to the people with normal color vision. Experimental results show that the proposed method can yield more comprehensible images for the people with red-green CVD while maintaining the naturalness of the recolored images.

Our study investigated the association between solvent exposure and acquired color vision loss using the Lanthony D-15 desaturated panel in petrochemical industry. Since neurotoxic effects associated with chronic solvent exposure, subjects with more than 6 months of exposure were included. Exposure assesment was estimated mean, maximum and cumulative 8hr TWA from individual 8-hour sampling. Exposure status were classified into two groups, occupationally exposed group to solvent and a non-exposed group. The results showed that CCI was positively related for age. According to the results of qualitative analysis, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of specific Type of dyschromatopsia the two examined group. However, the prevalence showed a higher proportion of dyschromatopsia to solvent exposure. It was affect with acquired dyschromatopsia(Type II, III and Complex) in exposed worker group(5.9%,7.86%,14.99%, respectively) than in the nonexposed group(6.16%,7.55%,13.71%, respectively). After each variable was adjusted for age, alcohol and tobacco consumption, a relationship between acquired dyschromatopsia and exposure showed an increase in the Odds ratio as compared to the nonexposed group at only left. The results showed that acquired dyschromatopsia was positively related to age (p<0.001). The results showed that solvent exposure, although not significant, could cause the acquired dyschromatopsia and visual system can serve important information on early neurotoxic effects in generally. Therefore, we need to concerns about eye health in workers.

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.
