A Study of Color Set Prediction Method with Self-Organizing Maps for Personal Visibility on Web Browsing

Abstract

In this article, we describe a Web browsing method with an automatic color correction (palette changing) for personal user's visibility. Especially we describe a paired comparison test and SOM (Self-Organizing Map) analysis for achromatic character and chromatic background colors, and we propose a color set prediction method with SOM for personal visibility on Web browsing. We are implementing and evaluating a web application system for this method as CGI (Common Gateway Interface) software on a HTTP server of the Internet. Since a user profiling is required beforehand for every user, we have to consider about this problem with SOM. The proposed method is available for this problem.
