Color contrast enhancement in visual media for the anomalous trichromats

This paper proposes a recoloring algorithm that when applied to images and videos, recolors them such that the color vision deficient users are able to see things that they previously couldn't. We compare the performances of two other prominent recoloring algorithms and prove how the proposed contrast enhancement color compensation technique is the most efficacious. Our previous paper

discusses color blindness, its causes and effects, the research that had been done previously on mitigating it, their outcomes and the various approaches adopted by some of the eminent researchers in this field. Color blindness is the inability of its victim to differentiate between the objects whose colors lie in a specific range of wavelengths, specific for each and every type of color blindness. Its three types are monochromacy, dichromacy and trichromacy. Our work focuses on anomalous trichromacy (especially on deuteranomaly and tritanomaly). While there is no medical cure for it yet, defective vision can be assuaged by certain techniques which many researchers have come up with. The merits and demerits of the various author's approaches were discussed in our previous

publication. Most of the research work that had been done never accounted for videos. We implement the previously invented algorithms on videos as well, thereby making a significant breakthrough. Apart from that, we propose a novel recoloring algorithm that is also applicable on both.
