Theory of Light and Color
How does light create the world seen by humans versus by machines? Human vision is the perception of brightness and colors through the naked eye. On the other hand, machine vision is the use of image processing to recognize these phenomena when detected by cameras and measuring instruments.
Our Theory of Light and Color Series is an in-depth guide for those involved in machine vision who want a deep technical understanding of the concepts of light and color, focusing on the relationship between human vision and machine vision.
