Colorblind-Shareable Videos

Abstract

The two distinctive visual experiences of binocular display, with and without stereoscopic glasses, have been recently utilized for visual sharing between the colorblind and the normal-vision audiences. However, all existing methods only work for still images, and lack of temporal consistency for video application. In this paper, we propose the first synthesis method for colorblind-sharable videos that possess the temporal consistency for both visual experiences of colorblind and normal-vision, and retains all other crucial characteristics for visual sharing with colorblind. We formulate this challenging multi-constraint problem as a global optimization and minimize an objective function consisting of temporal term, color preservation term, color distinguishability term, and binocular fusibility term. Qualitative and quantitative experiments are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method comparing to existing methods.
