Abstract
Accommodation for color or visual impairments may be implemented by selective color substitution. A color accommodation module receives an image frame from a host system and generates a color-adapted version of the image frame. The color accommodation module may include a rule based filter that substitutes one or more colors within the image frame with one or more corresponding alternative colors.
Claims13
A system for enhancing the accessibility of Audio Visual content, the system comprising:
- a color accommodation module implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software configured to receive an image frame from a host system and generate a color-adapted version of the image frame;
- and
- an accessibility controller coupled to the color accommodation module wherein the accessibility controller is configured to provide the color adapted version of the image frame to the host system for display on a display screen and synchronize the output of a scene annotation module with one or more other neural network modules, wherein the scene annotation module is implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software, and wherein the scene annotation module is configured to generate a text description of scene elements within the image frame, wherein image frame data is discarded without being processed by the color accommodation module, scene annotation module or one or more other neural network modules unless an activation input is received by the accessibility controller.
A method for enhancing the accessibility of Audio Visual content, comprising:
- receiving an image frame from a host system and generating a color-adapted version of the image frame with a color accommodation module;
- providing the color adapted version of the image frame to the host system for display on a display screen;
- and
- synchronizing the output of a scene annotation module with one or more other neural network modules using an accessibility controller coupled to the color accommodation module wherein the scene annotation module is configured to generate a text description of scene elements within the image frame, wherein image frame data is discarded without being processed by the color accommodation module, scene annotation module or one or more other neural network modules unless an activation input is received by the accessibility controller.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer readable instructions embodied therein, the instructions being configured upon execution to implement a method for enhancing the accessibility of Audio Visual content, the method comprising:
- receiving an image frame from a host system and generating a color-adapted version of the image frame with a color accommodation module;
- providing the color adapted version of the image frame to the host system for display on a display screen;
- and
- synchronizing the output of a scene annotation module with one or more other neural network modules using an accessibility controller coupled to the color accommodation module wherein the scene annotation module is configured to generate a text description of scene elements within the image frame, wherein image frame data is discarded without being processed by the color accommodation module, scene annotation module or one or more other neural network modules unless an activation input is received by the accessibility controller.
