Abstract
Smartphones and tablets present data and information in color images. Due to factors such as yellowing pigmentation and miosis filter, elderly people may experience difficulties and confusion when looking at the color images on smartphones and tablets. In this paper, we propose a color enhancement method to improve the color perceived by elderly people. This method is based on the color perception of the elderly simulated using the uniform yellowing pigmentation method. The proposed method enhances the colors of the images to compensate for the effect of yellowing pigmentation and miosis filter. This is achieved by utilizing the error parameters between the original colors and colors perceived by the elderly. Implementing an adaptation matrix, the error parameters are modified and distributed back into the original colors iteratively. Experimental results showed that the proposed method improves the colors perceived by the elderly.
