In medical imaging, contrast plays a crucial role in determining visual quality and facilitating accurate interpretation, particularly in fields like digital pathology and dermatology where color variations are diagnostically significant. Traditional contrast metrics often focus on intensity variations, potentially overlooking critical color information. This study introduces two novel color contrast metrics designed to quantify color variations at the image level, addressing this gap. The proposed metrics are a generalization of histogram-based methods where perceptual color difference metrics are used to calculate maximum and spread contrast measures. Experimental evaluation, including a study with 28 volunteers assessing image pairs, demonstrated a high correlation (Cohen's kappa of 0.92) between these metrics and human-perceived color contrast. Furthermore, statistical analyses confirmed that these metrics reliably distinguish color differences beyond luminance variations. The metrics proved robust across different parameter settings, as demonstrated by stability tests. Additionally, practical applications were explored in the field of digital pathology. The study concludes that these color contrast metrics align well with human perception and offer a valuable tool for enhancing diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.
