Fuzzy-based simulation of real color blindness
Summary
This study introduces two computational tools to aid individuals with color blindness. One tool diagnoses color vision deficiency and its severity, while the other simulates red-green color blindness for research.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Computer Science
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- Approximately 8% of men experience color blindness, limiting their perception of visual information.
- Color vision deficiency presents significant challenges in daily life and accessibility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop computational tools assisting individuals with color blindness.
- To create a method for simulating red-green color blindness for research purposes.
- To deepen the understanding of accessibility issues related to chromatic visual impairment.
Main Methods:
- Development of a computational tool for color blindness testing and severity assessment.
- Implementation of a Fuzzy Logic-based method to simulate red-green color blindness.
- Generation of synthetic cases of color vision disturbance for statistical analysis.
Main Results:
- Successful development of two distinct computational tools.
- Establishment of a statistically significant method for generating synthetic color vision disturbances.
- Quantification of color blindness severity through the diagnostic tool.
Conclusions:
- The developed tools offer potential solutions for individuals with color blindness.
- The simulation method provides a valuable resource for studying and addressing accessibility problems.
- Further research can build upon these tools to enhance visual accessibility.

01:24Color Vision
Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.
01:22Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
01:20Anatomy of the Eyeball
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle layer, the vascular tunic,...
