A Display Calibration Technique based on Invariant Human Colour Mechanisms

A Display Calibration Technique based on Invariant Human Colour Mechanisms
A Display Calibration Technique based on Invariant Human Colour Mechanisms
When human observers are asked to adjust a coloured light such that it appears neither red nor green, or such that it appears neither yellow nor blue, most colour-normal observers have no difficulty in making these adjustments. These hue judgements are not significantly influenced by language or age [Saunders and van Brakel 1997] and individual differences in colour sensitivity are not reflected in the unique-hue settings [Webster et al. 2000]. The human colour system seems to be able to calibrate itself so that there is a remarkable agreement across observers in relation to these unique-hue judgements. Here we show how we can use the invariance of these unique-hue judgements to develop a colour calibration technique for display devices, which eliminates the need for an external calibration standard or a measurement device.

Abstract

When human observers are asked to adjust a coloured light such that it appears neither red nor green, or such that it appears neither yellow nor blue, most colour-normal observers have no difficulty in making these adjustments. These hue judgements are not significantly influenced by language or age [Saunders and van Brakel 1997] and individual differences in colour sensitivity are not reflected in the unique-hue settings [Webster et al. 2000]. The human colour system seems to be able to calibrate itself so that there is a remarkable agreement across observers in relation to these unique-hue judgements. Here we show how we can use the invariance of these unique-hue judgements to develop a colour calibration technique for display devices, which eliminates the need for an external calibration standard or a measurement device.
