Visual detection and color discrimination become more challenging tasks when laser eye protection (LEP) is worn. This is due to the reduced light transmission and wavelength-blocking characteristics of LEP filters. LEP can, however, provide valuable protection against laser eye dazzle—the temporary reduction of vision caused by visible wavelength lasers. To understand this compromise, a model has been developed to allow the visual impacts of LEP to be simulated and balanced against their dazzle protection capabilities. This model is able to use any digital image as a background scene, allowing for real-world visualizations of LEP and dazzle over a broad range of scenarios. The work is built from the CIECAM02 color appearance model and a modified CIE general disability glare equation, together with experimentally validated adjustments to improve the accuracy of this application. The resulting model will help to inform LEP procurement and will serve as an educational tool for LEP users.Visual detection and color discrimination become more challenging tasks when laser eye protection (LEP) is worn.

可视化激光护眼和激光护眼之间的权衡

佩戴激光护眼 (LEP) 后，视觉检测和颜色辨别将变得更具挑战性。这是由于 LEP 滤光片的透光率和波长阻挡特性降低所致。然而，LEP 可以提供有价值的保护，防止激光眼眩——由可见波长激光引起的暂时性视力下降。为了理解这种折衷，我们开发了一个模型来模拟 LEP 的视觉影响并平衡其防眩光能力。该模型能够使用任何数字图像作为背景场景，允许在广泛的场景中对 LEP 和炫目进行真实世界的可视化。该作品是根据 CIECAM02 颜色外观模型和修改后的 CIE 一般残疾眩光方程构建的，连同经过实验验证的调整，以提高此应用程序的准确性。由此产生的模型将有助于为 LEP 采购提供信息，并将作为 LEP 用户的教育工具。当佩戴激光护眼 (LEP) 时，视觉检测和颜色辨别将成为更具挑战性的任务。这是由于 LEP 滤光片的透光率和波长阻挡特性降低所致。然而，LEP 可以提供有价值的保护，防止激光眼眩——由可见波长激光引起的暂时性视力下降。为了理解这种折衷，我们开发了一个模型来模拟 LEP 的视觉影响并平衡其防眩光能力。该模型能够使用任何数字图像作为背景场景，允许在广泛的场景中实现 LEP 和炫目的真实世界可视化。该工作基于 CIECAM02 颜色外观模型和修改后的 CIE 一般残疾眩光方程，以及经过实验验证的调整，以提高此应用程序的准确性。由此产生的模型将有助于为 LEP 采购提供信息，并将作为 LEP 用户的教育工具。
