Humans and cameras both detect light, but they process and interpret it differently.

Here’s
an overview of their main differences in perception:

1. Color Perception:

Humans use three types of photoreceptor cells (cones) sensitive to red, green, and blue
wavelengths of light. The brain combines the signals from these cones to perceive a full
spectrum of colors.

Cameras typically mimic this by using sensors with red, green, and blue (RGB) filters.
However, some cameras are equipped with filters to capture more color information, but
they still rely on processing algorithms to interpret these colors.

2. Dynamic Range:

Humans have a higher dynamic range, allowing them to see details in both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously.

Cameras have a limited dynamic range. They often struggle in high-contrast scenes,
leading to either overexposed highlights or underexposed shadows unless specialized HDR
techniques are applied.

3. Field of View and Depth Perception:


Humans perceive depth and field of view through binocular vision (using both eyes). The
brain processes images from each eye to understand depth and 3D structure.

Cameras typically capture flat, two-dimensional images. Depth perception can be


simulated using techniques like stereoscopic imaging (two lenses) or depth sensors.

4. Adaptability to Lighting:

Humans can adapt to a wide range of lighting conditions due to pupil adjustments and
biochemical changes in the eye.

Cameras have fixed settings and rely on adjustments like ISO, shutter speed, and aperture
to capture images in different lighting. They lack the instantaneous adaptability humans
have.

5. Interpretation of Colors (RGB vs. CMY):

Humans interpret colors based on the RGB color model (Red, Green, Blue), as shown on
the left side of your slide.

For printed images, the CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) model is used, as seen on the right
side of your slide, as it is a subtractive model for color mixing with.

1. Technology:
Analog Image Processing: Operates on continuous signal inputs, using electrical or optical
devices to process images. It’s typically used in older film-based technologies and relies on
analog equipment like video tapes and cathode-ray tubes.

Digital Image Processing: Works with digital images, where images are captured, stored,
and manipulated as binary data (0s and 1s). It involves software and digital computers for
processing.

2. Speed and Cost:

Analog: Slower and more costly. Processing and editing images require more time and
equipment, making it less efficient and more expensive.

Digital: Cheaper and faster. Digital systems allow quick manipulation, storage, and retrieval
of images, reducing both time and costs involved in processing.

3. Quality and Flexibility:

Analog: Limited flexibility in enhancing or altering images. Resolution can degrade during
copying or editing processes, as there’s no exact replication in analog systems.

Digital: High flexibility, with a variety of tools for enhancement, editing, and manipulation.
Digital images can be duplicated without loss of quality, and resolution is usually
maintained through compression and processing algorithms.
4. Storage and Retrieval:

Analog: Physical storage methods like film or video tapes are used, which are bulkier and
have limited lifespan.

Digital: Digital images are stored in compact digital formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.) that are easy
to archive, search, and retrieve, often using cloud or digital drives.
