    Abstract

    The goal of this work was to determine the transmittance spectra of coloured lenses for optimizing the number of colours visible in natural scenes. This number in each scene was estimated by computing the scene representation in CIELAB space and by counting the number of non-empty unit cubes. Transmittance spectra were computed to maximize the number of discernible colours in a set of such scenes whose spectral properties were obtained by hyperspectral imaging. The number of discernible colours viewed with optimum filters increased by up 30% when compared with natural viewing.
