An embedded image processing device for color vision deficiency

To help people with color vision deficiency, an embedded color image processing device is proposed and designed. Firstly, the image processing algorithms, containing perception simulation and color adjusting for color vision deficiency, are developed and tested using the computer. Then an embedded hardware system is designed, which can both exhibit the perception of different types of color vision deficiency and implement different types of color transformation algorithms. This device supplies a hardware platform for the research on color vision deficiency. It is also a prototype of portable instruments that help improve the color discrimination of color-deficient people.
