EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF COLOR VISION ABNORMALITIES IN THE GENERAL POPULA

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Color plays an important role in our daily life as a fundamntal visual feature that gives richness to the natural world. With the increase in technological advances, color perception has become imperative for understanding all visual information. About eight percent of the population is color deficient and this large percentage of the population will be unable to fully value not only advances in multimedia, but also everyday activities. A possible correction of this problem has been in the areas of multimedia design. Recently, our collaborative researchers at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have used the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) format in the computer environment to standardize a way to describe the color deficiency type. By using the format called MPEG-21 (the newest advancement in MPEG), everyone shoudl be able to easily and equally access any kinds of media. With this powerful advanced tool, we plan to find a relationship between the general color vision tests and the numeric degree of MPEG-21 color vision deficiency, a system we developed with our Korean researchers.
