Abstract
Abstract— The perceived colors of an image seen on a self‐luminous display are affected by ambient illumination. The ambient light reflected from the display faceplate is mixed with the image‐forming light emitted by the display. In addition to this direct physical effect of viewing flare, ambient illumination causes perceptual changes by affecting the adaptation state of the viewer's visual system. This paper first discusses these effects and how they can be compensated, outlining a display system able to adjust its output based on prevailing lighting conditions. The emphasis is on compensating for the perceptual effects of viewing conditions by means of color‐appearance modeling. The effects of varying the degree of chromatic adaptation parameter D and the surround compensation parameters c and Nc of the CIECAM97s color‐appearance model were studied in psychophysical experiments. In these memory‐based paired comparison experiments, the observers judged the appearance of images shown on an LCD under three different ambient‐illumination conditions. The dependence of the optimal parameter values on the level of ambient illumination was evident. The results of the final experiment, using a category scaling technique, showed the benefit of using the color‐appearance model with the optimized parameters in compensating for the perceptual changes caused by varying ambient illumination.
