Optimization of image perception for color vision deficiencies

A system for displaying a primary color system, comprising:

• a set of image data including a set of primary color signals, wherein the set of primary color signals corresponds to a set of values in an International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Yxy color space, wherein the set of values in the CIE Yxy color space includes a luminance (Y) and two colorimetric coordinates (x and y);
• an image data converter, wherein the image data converter includes a digital interface, and wherein the digital interface is operable to encode and decode the set of values in the CIE Yxy color space;
• at least one viewing device, wherein the at least one viewing device includes at least three primaries;
• at least one vision profile for at least one viewer;
• wherein the at least one viewing device and the image data converter are in communication;
• wherein processed Yxy data is transported between the encode and the decode;
• wherein the image data converter is operable to convert the set of image data for display on the at least one viewing device;
• wherein the converted set of image data is mapped to a set of optimized image data for display on the at least one viewing device based on at least one test;
• wherein the at least one test includes at least one sensitivity profile for the at least three primaries;
• wherein the at least one test includes at least one test for color perception, luminance perception, and/or saturation perception;
• and
• wherein the at least one vision profile includes information related to color deficiencies, information about color vision along at least one vector, color preferences, luminance preferences, at least one user account, the at least one viewing device, at least one viewing content, calibration, the at least one sensitivity profile for the at least three primaries of the at least one viewing device, and/or data about a viewing environment in which the at least one viewing device is located.

A method for displaying a primary color system, comprising:

• providing a set of image data including a set of primary color signals, wherein the set of primary color signals corresponds to a set of values in an International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Yxy color space, wherein the set of values in the CIE Yxy color space includes a luminance (Y) and two colorimetric coordinates (x and y);
• encoding the set of image data in the CIE Yxy color space using a digital interface of an image data converter, wherein the image data converter is in communication with at least one viewing device;
• processing the set of image data in the CIE Yxy color space;
• decoding the set of image data in the CIE Yxy color space using the digital interface of the image data converter;
• and
• the image data converter converting the set of image data for display on the at least one viewing device;
• mapping the converted set of image data to a set of optimized image data for display on the at least one viewing device based on at least one test;
• and
• creating at least one vision profile for at least one viewer based on the at least one test;
• wherein the encoding and the decoding include transportation of processed Yxy data;
• and
• wherein at least one vision profile includes information related to color deficiencies, information about color vision along at least one vector, color preferences, luminance preferences, at least one user account, the at least one viewing device, at least one viewing content, calibration, at least one sensitivity profile for at least one primary of the at least one viewing device, and/or data about a viewing environment in which the at least one viewing device is located.
