Multimedia simulation of colour blindness and colour enhancement assisted colour blindness

This paper presents the development of a multimedia simulation of colour blindness and proposes a colour enhancement technique on streaming data such as a video source or multimedia files. With the red-green colour perception difficulties, the ISH model has been used to develop the algorithms. The simulator and colour enhancement have been tested by colour-blind people and compared to existing simulators for colour-blindness. Multimedia applications based on these techniques will be able to develop the creation of advanced digital multimedia services and distribute activities in the areas of telecommunications and TV broadcasting.
