In an embodiment, an image is provided to an augmented reality application program. The program detects colors and modifies the image. In particular, the program may analyze an image of a scene provided by a camera of a portable electronic device that may be problematic for color challenged users. It then modifies one or more colors such that a color challenged user viewing the altered image may perceive the scene colors as the colors would be perceived by a non-color challenged user viewing the scene.

Disclosed is a method for evaluating the qualities of the user's color vision by means of the FM chromaticity test or directly measuring the defective factors of the user causing the color blindness. Thus it modifies the color composition of a video displaying apparatus according to a numerical analysis of the color and degree of color blindness specific to each dichromatic individual, so that he may perceive the same colors as the normal person. Also discloses is an apparatus for performing the method steps described herein.

Systems and methods for processing data representative of a full color image. Such systems may comprise the steps of assisting a color blind person to indicate portions of an image which to their color-deficient vision are indistinguishable, and altering the image to cause those portions to become distinguisable and identifiable.

Disclosed are a method of compensating colors in an image display device for users with color vision deficiency and a device of the same, enabling the users with color vision deficiency to view display images as vividly and naturally as normal users. The method for compensating colors in an image display device includes a step of determining whether a user is partially color blind or normal, and a step of controlling gain values of a plurality of color signals depending upon the user's color perceptivity so as to compensate colors displayed on a screen, if the user is determined to be partially color blind.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for dynamically modifying computer graphics content for colors and / or patterns that are problematic for color-blind viewers prior to display. In particular, graphics content may be modified in various stages of the graphics pipeline, including but not limited to, the render or raster stage, such that images provided to the user are visible to color-blind viewers upon display without further modification.

The invention discloses an intelligent traffic control system for the blind and a method thereof. The system comprises a transmitting device and a receiving device, wherein the connection relationship of internal modules in the transmitting device is that a data reading unit is sequentially connected with a modulation encoding unit and a transmitting unit, while the connection relationship of internal modules in the receiving device is that a receiving unit is sequentially connected with a decode unit, a control unit and an audio unit, and the control unit is connected with the receiving unit. The method is to arrange transmitting point of the transmitting device at each traffic road junction, the transmitting point of the transmitting device forms the traffic light signals received at each traffic road junction into a ring, each transmitting point of the transmitting device transmits the traffic light signals to the located road junction, the receiving device directionally receives the traffic light signals from the transmitting point of the transmitting device and obtains the traffic signal light information of the forward direction which is indicated by speech. The intelligent traffic control system for the blind can overcome the existing potential dangers for the blind going on a journey and ensure that the blind and the color blind can hear the traffic condition ahead when crossing a traffic light.

The present invention provides a technology called Pulse-Multiline Excitation or PME. This technology provides a novel approach to fluorescence detection with application for high-throughput identification of informative SNPs, which could lead to more accurate diagnosis of inherited disease, better prognosis of risk susceptibilities, or identification of sporadic mutations. The PME technology has two main advantages that significantly increase fluorescence sensitivity: (1) optimal excitation of all fluorophores in the genomic assay and (2) “color-blind” detection, which collects considerably more light than standard wavelength resolved detection. This technology differs significantly from the current state-of-the-art DNA sequencing instrumentation, which features single source excitation and color dispersion for DNA sequence identification. Successful implementation of the PME technology will have broad application for routine usage in clinical diagnostics, forensics, and general sequencing methodologies and will have the capability, flexibility, and portability of targeted sequence variation assays for a large majority of the population.

A color blindness dialog box in a Properties window includes a color blindness process mode checkbox enabling a user to select a printing process designed for color blindness. When the color blindness process mode checkbox is checked, it is determined whether the image to be printed includes problematic areas for people with color blindness. If so, image data for these areas is extracted and displayed in a popup window. Subsequently, a borderline process is performed to form a borderline on either or both of the border areas and of text data and graphics data. Thus, the problematic areas are extracted and processed properly so that the problematic areas will become easy to distinguish.

The invention provides a color-blind image conversion system based on mobile phones. The system comprises an image acquisition device, an image processing device for processing the acquired images and a display device for displaying the images, wherein the image processing device comprises a setting module and a converting module; the setting module is used for creating one or more user setting items in the processing process; the converting module is used for converting at least one color on the images according to the user setting items in the processing process and comprises a simulation unit and a translation unit; the simulation unit is used for carrying out color-blind simulation conversion on the images according to the user setting items in the processing process and is used for realizing simulation of various defective color visions; and the translation unit is used for carrying out color vision color translation conversion on the images according to the user setting items in the processing process. The invention provides the technology and device which can help people with defective color visions to carry out effective communication and comprehension of the color information anytime and anywhere if necessary.
