A Proposal of Color Correction Method with Self-Organizing Maps for Personal User's Visibility on the Web Browsing

Abstract

In this article, we describe a Web browsing method with an automatic color correction (palette changing) for personal user's visibility. Especially we describe a paired comparison test and SOM (Self-Organizing Map) analysis for achromatic character colors and chromatic background colors. We are implementing and evaluating a web application system for this method as CGI (Common Gateway Interface) software on a HTTP server of the Internet. Since a user profiling is required beforehand for every user, we considered about this problem with SOM. © 2005, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. All rights reserved.
