Abstract:

This paper proposes a compact device for studying color-discrimination thresholds and quality control of human color vision, in which the radiations are synthesized by a digital control system and the color of the test field can be synthesized in any prespecified direction of color space. An accurate diagnosis of human color vision is needed both for professional selection and to reveal acquired disturbances that are symptoms of such diseases as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, syphilis, leukemia, and impairments of the optic nerve.

Keywords:

color vision, ffective brightness, color-discrimination threshold, color space, color synthesis direction
