Abstract


Colors are the smiles of nature. Digital image processing has widely employed the use of the function the color due to its effectiveness as a tool in classifying and identifying objects, which can be distinguished based on various relevant shades of color. This work aims to create a software tool that assists color-blind individuals in identifying the colors and edges in an image that may appear similar to them. If you are not suffering from a color vision deficiency it is very hard to imagine how it looks like to be color blind. Individuals with color blindness are limited and sometimes even disqualified from specific professions due to their inability to differentiate between colors. The objective of this research is to create a technique or approach for accurately identifying different shades of colors and predicting their names specifically for individuals with color blindness. This project utilizes image processing techniques to create a system that can recognize and distinguish colors in an image. The algorithm used for color detection in this project recognizes pixels in an image that correspond to a defined color or color range and provides the name of the color along with its corresponding B, G and R values. This work will be very helpful for people who suffer from color blindness especially when they want to know the color of the things.
