Abstract
Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products for remediating a color vision deficiency. Aspects include receiving a user profile. Aspects also include identifying an object type for each of the plurality of objects. Aspects also include generating an image overlay for the location based at least in part upon the user profile and the object type.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for remediating a vision deficiency, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, location image data for a location comprising one or more images of a plurality of objects at the location;
- receiving, by the processor, a user profile comprising a type of color vision deficiency, a severity of vision deficiency and user-specific object importance information, wherein the user profile is generated during a learning phase in which a user is presented with a series of questions to determine what the user can and cannot see;
- identifying, by the processor, an object type for each of the plurality of objects;
- assigning an importance level to each of the plurality of objects at the location based at least in part upon a context and the user-specific object importance information;
- and
- generating an image overlay for the location based at least in part upon the user profile, the object type and the importance level.
A processing system for remediating a vision deficiency, comprising:
- a processor in communication with one or more types of memory, the processor configured to:
- receive location image data for a location comprising one or more images of a plurality of objects at the location;
- receive a user profile comprising a type of color vision deficiency, a severity of vision deficiency and user-specific object importance information, wherein the user profile is generated during a learning phase in which a user is presented with a series of questions to determine what the user can and cannot see;
- identify an object type for each of the plurality of objects;
- assign an importance level to each of the plurality of objects at the location based at least in part upon a context and the user-specific object importance information;
- and
- generate an image overlay for the location based at least in part upon the user profile, the object type and the importance level.
A computer program product for remediating a vision deficiency, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing program instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
- receiving location image data for a location comprising one or more images of a plurality of objects at the location;
- receiving a user profile comprising a type of color vision deficiency, a severity of vision deficiency and user-specific object importance information, wherein the user profile is generated during a learning phase in which a user is presented with a series of questions to determine what the user can and cannot see;
- identifying an object type for each of the plurality of objects;
- assigning an importance level to each of the plurality of objects at the location based at least in part upon a context and the user-specific object importance information;
- and
- generating an image overlay for the location based at least in part upon the user profile, the object type and the importance level.
