Yurgon Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Sorry but all you need is contrast to back ground. In order to tell red smoke from green smoke? :music_whistling: I'm sure you have a point to make, but without a frame of reference and further explanation, I cannot agree with you. I'm not saying gray-scale images are useless. I just think that color images may be able to add important bits of information, and in some cases this may be the crucial bit of information. I guess a couple of years from now, people would laugh about a discussion such as this, much like we laugh about the idea that cinema should not be in color -- if color CCDs lack important features, that would be a point against them. But as technology advances, these disadvantages may go away and I just don't see how adding color to the TGP image would be detrimental to the operator, especially if it is optional.
PFunk1606688187 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I just want to mention those tinted sunglasses people use in competitive sports to improve perception of their environment. Seems to me that contrast is more important than colour overall. Colour is familiar but its contrast that lets you identify a silhouette or perceive depth. I like to think about black and white movies. A perfectly lit black and white film is striking and clear. For all I know in the realm of battlefield sensor theory the notion of contrast over colour is a discussion for which there is already a well understood conclusion or at least consensus on whats desirable as a priority. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
