Title: Colour Appearance Model and Adaptive Display
Abstract:
Most traditional displays lack the ability to adjust the appearance of
the displayed content based on viewing conditions. Some high-end
displays can vary the brightness, but not the color, of the content
based on illumination level of the surrounding. My research project
proposes a dynamic display system that is capable of accurately
displaying content under varying viewing conditions. The system takes
color perception phenomena into consideration, and applies color
appearance models to preserve both brightness and color appearance of
the content. Such system can be seen as a prototype of futuristic display.
