Using a Color Simulator to Extract Colorimetric Factors Related to the Feeling of Depth Produced by Painted Panels

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for using a color simulator to extracted colorimetric factors related to the feeling of depth produced by painted automobile panels. Our color simulator can generate photorealistic graphic color panels and control the appearance with Munsell color parameters. As a result, several important factors related to human depth sensitivity have been precisely and efficiently extracted, and applied to the design of the new paint colors that give more of a feeling of depth than present colors.
