2 days agoA curious secret of color vision revealed by scientists
The eye focuses on the most prominent color in the environment, not just the brightest or middle wavelengths of light.
Multispectral imaging works by capturing light in several distinct wavelength bands, including those not visible to the human eye. This enables more detailed information capture when compared to traditional RGB sensors, which only detect red, green, and blue wavelengths. Using multispectral sensors could help future iPhones achieve better material separation and improved depth perception, with the latter resulting in more accurate portrait photos.
