Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional Daltonization is applied to digital media applications, then color differentiation for colorblind users is improved, but color clash occurs and visibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the digital media content to identify colors with similar luminosities before applying Daltonization. By pre-processing the image to detect problematic color regions, the system can then apply targeted adjustments only where needed, preventing color clash while maintaining accurate color differentiation for colorblind users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts Daltonization parameters based on the specific characteristics of the digital media content. By changing parameters such as luminosity thresholds, color mapping strength, and adjustment intensity according to the detected color distribution, the system optimizes color differentiation while avoiding the creation of color clash in different regions of the image.
2Measurement precision
If manual adjustments are made for varying lighting conditions, then color visibility is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects varying lighting conditions within the digital media and self-adjusts the Daltonization parameters without requiring manual user input. The algorithm analyzes local luminosity variations and autonomously optimizes color differentiation settings for different regions, maintaining high color visibility accuracy while preserving user convenience through fully automated operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors the effectiveness of color differentiation in real-time. Based on detected color luminosity relationships and user interaction patterns, the system dynamically adjusts Daltonization parameters to maintain optimal color visibility across varying lighting conditions within the digital media, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
3Measurement precision
If Daltonization strength is increased to improve color differentiation, then color separation for colorblind users is enhanced, but color clash and distortion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different Daltonization strengths to different regions of the digital media based on local color characteristics. By analyzing each region's color distribution and luminosity relationships, the system applies stronger differentiation only where colors with similar luminosities exist, while using milder adjustments in regions where colors are already well-differentiated, thus preventing color clash and distortion while maintaining high separation accuracy where needed.

AI summary
Embodiments of systems and methods for automated image processing to improve visibility of similar luminosities in a digital media application are disclosed. The systems and methods can determine a Daltonization value based on the color palette of a frame in the digital media and modify a local contrast parameter and a local brightness parameter of the frame by applying an enhanced Daltonization process to the frame. The enhanced Daltonization technique can create a color shift in the frame. In some embodiments, after the frame is optimally Daltonized, the local brightness and contrast parameters are rebalanced to shift colors back to light hues to compensate for the initial shift to darker colors. The systems and methods can return the optimized frame to a colorblind person for view.
