[Image Processing Engineer Column] The Human Eye and the Camera Eye

This is a story from the perspective of an image processing expert. I considered the strengths of each. Human Eye: I believe the most significant feature is its "adaptive" nature. It can spot small differences by staring intently, and it can also gather overarching information from fleeting moments. When something is hard to see, we instinctively squint, right? We also unconsciously use or ignore color information. Camera Eye: Specialized cameras surpass human capabilities for specific purposes. For example, even when the human eye tries hard to be "adaptive," its vision is limited in very dark conditions. However, images obtained through optical amplification can reveal objects in darker spaces than what humans can see (they become invisible if the light source is completely blocked). Specialized cameras can detect wavelengths that the human eye cannot perceive. This is similar in the world of sound. Infrared and ultraviolet light use wavelengths that exceed the range of "visible light" that humans can see, which changes the discussion further. The job of an image processing expert is to "realize" the processing of information obtained from these "eyes" in the "brain" part. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.
