No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivo total.pdf: 3109388 bytes, checksum: 647810f9fb25d144a271d5f256240096 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-08-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / A spectrophotometer for absorption measurements / emission, simple, portable and as partially partial dual mode for quantitative experiments was constructed using cheap and available materials is proposed in this paper. The instrument, here called SpectroPhone consists of modules made of MDF, one DVD as a diffraction grating media, two mini white incandescent lamps as radiation source and a Smartphone to acquire images and perform data processing, such as detector. The pixels of a region produced in a spectral images provide qualitative and quantitative information after the application of the concepts and HSV color model RGB, respectively. A simple algorithm based on HSV was developed for the conversion of the hue values (H) in their corresponding λ. Its analytical performance was assessed by quantitative analysis based on analytical curves, specimens of which have been validated by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The SpectroPhone was applied to the determination of Fe2+ in the absorption mode in pharmaceutical samples, and Na+, in emission mode and in natural saline water. For comparison purposes, a commercial spectrophotometer for absorption mode and a photometer for commercial flame emission mode were used to construct the calibration curves of the reference instrument. Applying the paired t test at 95% confidence for the results of concentrations obtained with the instruments, it is observed that there was no statistically significant difference showing high precision and accuracy. SpectroPhone can be considered a good alternative to instrumental spectrometric measurements, not just limited to educational and academic purposes. / Um espectrofotômetro para medidas de absorção/emissão, simples, parciamente portátil e modo duplo parcial para experimentos quantitativos foi construído usando materiais baratos e disponíveis é proposto neste trabalho. O instrumento, aqui chamado de SpectroPhone é composto por módulos confeccionados em MDF, uma mídia de DVD como rede de difração, duas mini lâmpadas incadescentes branca como fonte de radiação e um Smartphone para adquirir imagens e realizar tratamento de dados, como detector. Os pixels de uma região produzida em uma imagens digital fornecem informações qualitativas e quantitativas após a aplicações do HSV e conceitos do modelo de cor RGB, respectivamente. Um simples algoritmo baseado em HSV foi desenvolvido para a conversão dos valores do matiz (H) em seu λ correspondentes. Seu desempenho analítico foi avaliado por meio de análises quantitativas baseados em curvas analíticas, cujos modelos foram validados por meio da análise de variância (ANOVA). O SpectroPhone foi aplicado na determinação de Fe2+ no modo de absorção em amostras farmacêuticas, e Na+, no modo de emissão em soro fisiológico e em água naturais. Para fins de comparação, um espectrofotômetro comercial para o modo de absorção e um fotômetro em chama comercial para o modo de emissão foram empregados para construir as curvas analíticas do instrumento de referência. Aplicando o teste t pareado ao nível de 95% de confiança para os resultados de concentrações obtidas com os instrumentos, observa-se que não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa apresentando alta precisão e exatidão. O SpectroPhone pode ser considerado uma boa alternativa instrumental para medições espectrométricas, não apenas limitada para fins didáticos e acadêmicos.

Color vision deficiency (CVD) is the inability or limited ability to recognize colors and discriminate between them. A person with this condition perceives a narrower range of colors compared to a person with a normal color vision. A growing number of researchers are striving to improve the quality of life for CVD patients. Finding cure, making rectification equipment, providing simulation tools and applying color transformation methods are among the efforts being made by researchers in this field. In this study we concentrate on recoloring digital images in such a way that users with CVD, especially dichromats, perceive more details from the recolored images compared to the original image. The main focus is to give the CVD user a chance to find information within the picture which they could not perceive before. However, this transformed image might look strange or unnatural to users with normal color vision. During this color transformation process, the goal is to keep the overall contrast of the image constant while adjusting the colors that might cause confusion for the CVD user. First, each pixel in the RGB-image is converted to HSV color space in order to be able to control hue, saturation and intensity for each pixel and then safe and problematic hue ranges need to be found. The method for recognizing these ranges was inspired by a condition called “unilateral dichromacy” in which the patient has normal color vision in one eye and dichromacy in another. A special grid-like color card is designed, having constant saturation and intensity over the entire image, while the hue smoothly changes from one block to another to cover the entire hue range. The next step is to simulate the way this color card is perceived by a dichromatic user and finally to find the colors that are perceived identically from two images and the ones that differ too much. This part makes our method highly customizable and we can apply it to other types of CVD, even personalize it for the color vision of a specific observer. The resulting problematic colors need to be dealt with by shifting the hue or saturation based on some pre-defined rules. The results for the method have been evaluated both objectively and subjectively. First, we simulated a set of images as they would be perceived by a dichromat and compared them with simulated view of our transformed images. The results clearly show that our recolored images can eliminate a lot of confusion from user and convey more details. Moreover, an online questionnaire was created and 39 users with CVD confirmed that the transformed images allow them to perceive more information compared to the original images.
