A VISIBILITY EVALUATION METHOD USING AN EDGE DETECTION ALGORITHM CONSIDERING CHROMATIC MECHANISMS

In recent years, much attention has been focused on the development of neurophysiology-based models as a new way to evaluate visual environment. In our previous paper, we proposed a method for evaluating the visibility from an edge detection algorithm. In this study, we incorporate chromatic mechanism into existing algorithm in order to make it applicable to a greater variety of spaces with colors. The results of the subjective experiment conducted in a model space showed that the visibility could be well estimated by the algorithm proposed in the research.
