The invention relates to a method for designing color filters which
improve or modify color vision of the human eye. According to the
invention a desired opponent signal function to be attained is divided by
a real opponent signal function characteristic of the eye color vision to
be improved or modified, the negative range of the resulting function is
replaced by zero, the whole function is normalized to give a spectral
transmission function, and, if desired, one or more section(s) of this
spectral transmission function is modified. The invention also relates to
color filter means designed by the above method.
