Enhance images for colorblind people

Question

I'm looking for an easy to use Java library that provides some standard methods for enhancing existing images for colorblind people. I found some browser plugins and web sites that do these enhancements, but I found no corresponding Java library. Is there such a library, and if not, is there at least a good source of information how I can implement this functionality on my own?

Answer 1

I haven't found any color blind specific libraries but I did come across a very interesting document which explains how a Mozilla color blind add on was built. The addon uses the Java Advance Imaging (JAI) library to improve the readability. Below are the links to the document:

Edit: the document says the code for the extension is open source.
