The Effect of Simultaneous Contrast on Color Deficient Observers

Today, different models and instruments exist to study and model color vision and color vision deficiency. These systems are often modeled at spectral and retinal levels. In this study, we propose a novel approach to set up models and aids for color vision deficiencies, considering the role of spatial color processing in human visual system. In particular, we present the results of a perceptual test to identify the role of the spatial arrangement in color discrimination by Color Deficient Observers (CDOs) and Color Normal Observers (CNOs), using simultaneous contrast effect.
