Our eyes may be versatile, but I've never heard of a man-made camera that comes equipped with a sophisticated image regeneration algorithm because the film/CCD has a giant black hole about 1/3 from the center.
(...And now imagine it also comes with an automatic jitter motion generator and sophisticated time-differential logic because the sensor zeros out if exposed to the same color for ten seconds.)
We have terrible sensors. We just evolved to work around the problems.
- semi-extrinsic 9y agoThat's no different from the problems you need to engineer around in a CCD or CMOS - stuff like dark current, shot noise, read noise, RGB filters effectively dividing resolution by 3, an upper limit on integration time which is almost the same as "sensor zeroes out if exposed to the same color for ten seconds". OTOH, the eye's selective resolution and instant slew+focus of the high resolution spot together give it an effective resolution north of 600 megapixels. The auto-exposure is also pretty bad ass.
