We propose an efficient method for searching for color vibration pairs that are imperceptible to the human eye based on the MacAdam ellipse, an experimentally determined color-difference range that is indistinguishable to the human eye. We created color ...

Color vision tests are conducted based on subjective responses; however, since subjective responses can be biased and are not uniformly applicable to all individuals, an objective method is required. In this study, we developed a quantitative and user-...

Battery life is an increasingly urgent challenge for today's untethered VR and AR devices. However, the power efficiency of head-mounted displays is naturally at odds with growing computational requirements driven by better resolution, refresh rate, and ...

• Low-level features are extracted by simulating the human orientation selection and color perception mechanisms.

Low-level features and deep features each have their own advantages and disadvantages in image representation. However, combining their advantages within a CBIR framework remains challenging. To address this problem, we propose a novel ...

Color is a powerful communication component, not only as part of the message meaning but also as a way of discriminating contents therein. However, 5% of the world’s population suffers from color vision deficiency (CVD), commonly known as ...

Understanding uncertainty is critical for many analytical tasks. One common approach is to encode data values and uncertainty values independently, using two visual variables. These resulting bivariate maps can be difficult to interpret, and ...

We present a system for making emissive computer displays (LCDs) look like they are reflective, i.e. not emitting light but instead reflecting ambient light, an effect that we call a “calm display”. We achieve this effect by using a light sensor and a ...

Communicating the right affect, a feeling, experience or emotion, is critical in creating engaging visual communication. We carried out three studies examining how different color properties (lightness, chroma and hue) and different palette properties (...

In this paper, we introduce a method that generates a key color to construct an aesthetic and affective harmony with visual content. Given an image and an affective term, our method creates a key color by combining a dominant hue of the image and a ...

Using real time eye tracking, gaze-contingent displays can modify their content to represent depth (e.g., through additional depth cues) or to increase rendering performance (e.g., by omitting peripheral detail). However, there has been no research to ...

Ocean salinity is a critical component to understanding climate change. Salinity concentrations and temperature drive large ocean currents which in turn drive global weather patterns. Melting ice caps lower salinity at the poles while river deltas bring ...

Providing accurate color information to online shopping customers is important for their purchase decisions. However, due to the multiple imaging processes that product photos undergo, end-users often experience a color mismatch between the color of the ...

Scientists from the Climate, Ocean and Sea Ice Modeling Team (COSIM) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of three primary ocean currents: the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio Current, and the Agulhas ...

The same physical scene seen in bright sunlight and in dusky conditions does not appear identical to the human eye. Similarly, images shown on an 8000 cd/m² high-dynamic-range (HDR) display and in a 50 cd/m² peak luminance cinema screen also differ ...

Based on previous studies of the associations between color and music, we introduce a scalable way of using colors to label songs and a visualization of music archives that facilitates music exploration. We present Visimu, an online game that attracted ...

In designing colors for digital visualization systems. one of the most critical factors is the interaction between size and color appearance. Whereas artists and visual designers understand this, recommendations for using color in visualization rarely ...

In this paper, we propose an audio-visual approach to video genre categorization. Audio information is extracted at block-level, which has the advantage of capturing local temporal information. At temporal structural level, we asses action contents with ...

In content-based image retrieval (CBIR), color is the most intuitive image features and it is widely used. But The current color feature can describe the semantics of the whole image effectively, but does not reflect characteristics of the color ...

In 1964, Edwin H. Land formulated the Retinex theory, the first attempt to simulate and explain how the human visual system perceives color. His theory and an extension, the "reset Retinex" were further formalized by Land and McCann [1]. Several Retinex ...

In the study of 1969 Berlin and Kay have argued that there are a limited number of universal "basic color terms" which are the same for each culture [1]. They postulate the existence of 11 basic color terms, including a single blue term. After Berlin ...
