Information gains from commercial spectral filters in anomalous trichromacy
Abstract:
Red-green color discrimination is compromised in anomalous trichromacy, the most common inherited color vision deficiency. This computational analysis tested whether three commercial optical filters with medium-to-long-wavelength stop bands increased information about colored surfaces. The surfaces were sampled from 50 hyperspectral images of outdoor scenes. At best, potential gains in the effective number of surfaces discriminable solely by color reached 9% in protanomaly and 15% in deuteranomaly, much less than with normal trichromacy. Gains were still less with lower scene illumination and more severe color vision deficiency. Stop-band filters may offer little improvement in objective real-world color discrimination.
