Orthogonal Relations and Color Constancy in Dichromatic Colorblindness
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper employs uniform color space to analyze relations in dichromacy (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia). Fifty percent or less of dichromats represent the classical reduction form of trichromacy, where one of three cones is inoperative but normal trichromatic color mixture such as complementary colors (pairs that mix white) are accepted by the dichromat, whose data can thus be plotted to CIE chromaticity spaces. The remaining dichromats comprise many and varied more-complex gene arrays from mutations, recombinations, etc. Though perhaps a minority, the three reductionist types provide a simple standard, in genotype and phenotype, to which the more complex remainder may be compared. Here, previously published data on dichromacy are plotted and analyzed in CIELUV uniform color space to find spatial relations in terms of color appearance space (e.g., hue angle). Traditional residual (seen) hues for protanopia and deuteranopia (both red-green colorblindness) are yellow and blue, but analysis indicates the protanopic residual hues are more greenish yellow and reddish blue than in tradition. Results for three illuminants (D65, D50, B) imply four principles in the spatial structure of dichromacy: (1) complementarity of confusion hue pairs and of residual hue pairs; (2) orthogonality of confusion locus and residual hues locus at their intersection with the white point, in each dichromatic type; (3) orthogonality of protanopic and tritanopic confusion loci; and (4) inverse relations between protanopic and tritanopic systems generally, such that one's confusion hues are the other's residual hues. Two of the three dichromatic systems do not represent components of normal trichromatic vision as sometimes thought but are quite different. Wavelength shifts between illuminants demonstrate chromatic adaptation correlates exactly with that in trichromatic vision. In theory these results clarify relations in and between types of dichromacy. They also apply in Munsell and CIELAB color spaces but inexactly to the degree they employ inexact complementarity.

Dichromatic Gray Pixel for Camera-agnostic Color Constancy
We propose a novel statistical color constancy method, especially suitable for the Camera-agnostic Color Constancy, i.e. the scenario where nothing is known a priori about the capturing devices. The method, called Dichromatic Gray Pixel, or DGP, relies on a novel gray pixel detection algorithm derived using the Dichromatic Reflection Model. DGP is suitable for camera-agnostic color constancy, s...
متن کاملOn Determining the Color of the Illuminant Using the Dichromatic Reflection Model
The human visual system is able to accurately determine the color of objects irrespective of the spectral power distribution used to illuminate the scene. This ability to compute color constant descriptors is called color constancy. Many different algorithms have been proposed to solve the problem of color constancy. Usually, some assumptions have to be made in order to solve this problem. Algo...
متن کاملUsing Reflectance Models for Surface Estimation
We suggest dichromatic reflection models adequate for describing surface-spectral reflectances of a variety of materials. First we describe the standard dichromatic reflection model for inhomogeneous dielectric materials. Next the generalized models are shown for describing the spectral reflectances of the materials for which the standard model is inadequate. The reflection characteristics are ...
متن کاملColor constancy through inverse-intensity chromaticity space.
Existing color constancy methods cannot handle both uniformly colored surfaces and highly textured surfaces in a single integrated framework. Statistics-based methods require many surface colors and become error prone when there are only a few surface colors. In contrast, dichromatic-based methods can successfully handle uniformly colored surfaces but cannot be applied to highly textured surfac...
متن کاملThe Color Constancy Problem: An Illumination Invariant Mapping Approach
We suggest a novel approach to the Color Constancy Problem for multispectral imagery. Our approach is based on a dichromatic illumination model and lters out all spectral information which possibly stems from the illumination rather than from the re ectance of a given surface. Instead of recovering the re ectance signal, the suggested mapping produces a new only surface re ectance-dependent des...
