K1 Color transform K1 Ripeness AB Aim: To develop and test a color transform for red-green colordefectives to enhance tomatoipeness judgements.Experimental Method: Congenital protan and deutan colordefectives suffer sensitivity losses in the red-green mechanism [1]compromising performance in color-discrimination-based everydaytasks [2], which may be compensated by procedures designed tooptimize image color gamuts to minimize color confusion [3]. Given thatred-green defectives retain normal discrimination along the blue-yellowaxis in color space [1], we propose a simple procedure to recode redgreencolor differences in CIELAB color space as blue-yellow colordifferences, to allow red-green defectives to correctly judge the ripenessof tomatoes.An agricultural cooperative of Perelló supplied and classified bycolor the tomato samples in a controlled manner in four standardripeness stages. Sample color was measured with a portable MinoltaCR-300 colorimeter (Minolta Co. Ltd, Osaka, Japan). Tomatoes werephotographed with a Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S7 edge model SMG935Fwith a 12.2 MP camera). RGB values of the image weretransformed to XYZ values using Matlab’s sRGB transform, and then toCIEL*a*b*, using as reference white a white sample illuminated as thesamples. Dichromatic perception of the images was simulated by thecorresponding pair algorithm [4]. The modified palette was obtained byexchanging the values of the red-green (a*) and blue-yellow (b*)descriptors (Fig. 1).
