Comparing Color Vision Testing Using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue, Ishihara Compatible, and Digital TCV Software Abstract It is crucial that eye care professionals be able to provide quick, accurate, and complete testing of color vision, both to enhance the lives of patients and to satisfy the requirements laid out by industry standards. With the growing popularity of the use of digital equipment in offices, there is a natural progression to digital color vision screening tests, which have the advantage of being fast, inexpensive, and readily portable with automated scoring for greater consistency. Few studies have sought to validate specific digital tests. The aim of this study is to compare two traditionally accepted manual tests for detecting congenital color vision deficiency (CCVD) with analogous digital versions. -
Review of Measures for Light-Source Color Rendition and Considerations for a Two-Measure System for Characterizing Color Rendition
Review of measures for light-source color rendition and considerations for a two-measure system for characterizing color rendition Kevin W. Houser,1,* Minchen Wei,1 Aurélien David,2 Michael R. Krames,2 and Xiangyou Sharon Shen3 1Department of Architectural Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, 16802, USA 2Soraa, Inc., Fremont, CA 94555, USA 3Inno-Solution Research LLC, 913 Ringneck Road, State College, PA 16801, USA *[email protected] Abstract: Twenty-two measures of color rendition have been reviewed and summarized. Each measure was computed for 401 illuminants comprising incandescent, light-emitting diode (LED) -phosphor, LED-mixed, fluorescent, high-intensity discharge (HID), and theoretical illuminants. A multidimensional scaling analysis (Matrix Stress = 0.0731, R2 = 0.976) illustrates that the 22 measures cluster into three neighborhoods in a two- dimensional space, where the dimensions relate to color discrimination and color preference. When just two measures are used to characterize overall color rendition, the most information can be conveyed if one is a reference- based measure that is consistent with the concept of color fidelity or quality (e.g., Qa) and the other is a measure of relative gamut (e.g., Qg). ©2013 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (330.1690) Color; (330.1715) Color, rendering and metamerism; (230.3670) Light-emitting diodes.

Comparing Measures of Gamut Area
Comparing Measures of Gamut Area Michael P Royer1 1Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 620 SW 5th Avenue, Suite 810 Portland, OR 97204 [email protected] This is an archival copy of an article published in LEUKOS. Please cite as: Royer MP. 2018. Comparing Measures of Gamut Area. LEUKOS. Online Before Print. DOI: 10.1080/15502724.2018.1500485. PNNL-SA-132222 ▪ November 2018 COMPARING MEASURES OF GAMUT AREA Abstract This article examines how the color sample set, color space, and other calculation elements influence the quantification of gamut area. The IES TM-30-18 Gamut Index (Rg) serves as a baseline, with comparisons made to several other measures documented in scientific literature and 12 new measures formulated for this analysis using various components of existing measures. The results demonstrate that changes in the color sample set, color space, and calculation procedure can all lead to substantial differences in light source performance characterizations. It is impossible to determine the relative “accuracy” of any given measure outright, because gamut area is not directly correlated with any subjective quality of an illuminated environment. However, the utility of different approaches was considered based on the merits of individual components of the gamut area calculation and based on the ability of a measure to provide useful information within a complete system for evaluating color rendition. For gamut area measures, it is important to have a reasonably uniform distribution of color samples (or averaged coordinates) across hue angle—avoiding exclusive use of high-chroma samples—with sufficient quantity to ensure robustness but enough difference to avoid incidents of the hue-angle order of the samples varying between the test and reference conditions. -

Methods: A total of 341 student eyes were enrolled in a first comparative study between Optopad and the Isihara tests. In a second comparative study, Optopad vs. the Farnworth-Munsell test (FM 100H), a total of 66 adult eyes were included. Besides the agreement between tests, the correlation between FM 100H and Optopad outcomes were investigated. Multiple regression analysis was used to predict the Total Error Score (TES) from contrast thresholds measured with the Optopad test. Results: The Ishihara and Optopad tests detected the same anomalous patients. Concerning FM 100H vs. Optopad, 10 subjects were diagnosed as anomalous with both tests, 3 mild anomalous cases based on TES were classified as normal with Optopad, and 2 anomalous subjects based on Optopad test showed normal TES values. Statistically significant correlations of TES and partial error red-green (PTESRG) with thresholds measured with the red-green Optopad stimuli were found. -

Development of the IES Method for Evaluating the Color Rendition of Light Sources
Development of the IES method for evaluating the color rendition of light sources Aurelien David Paul T. Fini Kevin W. Houser Yoshi Ohno Michael P. Royer Kevin A.G. Smet Minchen Wei Lorne Whitehead We have developed a two-measure system for evaluating light sources’ color rendition that builds upon conceptual progress of numerous researchers over the last two decades. The system quantifies the color fidelity and color gamut (i.e. change in object chroma) of a light source in comparison to a reference illuminant. The calculations are based on a newly developed set of reflectance data from real samples uniformly distributed in color space (thereby fairly representing all colors) and in wavelength space (thereby precluding artificial optimization of the color rendition scores by spectral engineering). The color fidelity score Rf is an improved version of the CIE color rendering index. The color gamut score Rg is an improved version of the Gamut Area Index. In combination, they provide two complementary assessments to guide the optimization of future light sources and allow lighting specifiers to appropriately match sources with applications. 1. Introduction Limitations of the general color rendering index (CRI) [CIE95], developed by the International Lighting Commission (CIE), have been extensively documented [e.g., Worthey03, CIE07, DiLaura11]. Despite many past efforts to develop complimentary or alternative ways for evaluating light sources’ color rendition1 [Guo04, Smet11b, Houser13b], a suitable alternative has not yet been widely adopted; efforts by the CIE to revise the CRI in the 1980s-90s did not succeed [CIE99]. Yet, with the proliferation of solid- state lighting—a family of light sources with tremendous opportunities for spectral engineering and optimization—the need for a method to evaluate color rendition is greater than ever [Houser13a].
