Abstract

8% of men and 0.5% of women suffer from color vision deficiency (CVD)

Through looking at 5000 images from eLife Science, we categorized each image by hand based on how challenging it would be to see for those with CVD

Finally, through the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), we created a computer visual model that would then sort the images as friendly or unfriendly for people with CVD
