This thread has me confused.
I thought all of these digital capture devices were nothing more than photon counters. They
'see' the 'light' coming from the objects. They have no ability to 'know' anything regarding
the physical/chemical composition of the object.
The task of the device software is to the convert the analog signal generated by the device
into a digital file that results in an 'image' that matches what a 'standard observer' sees
when looking at the object. One of the difficulties is that the device responds to more
wavelengths than the human eye, and its response curve does not correspond to ours. The problem
is to force the device + software to do so.
Do I have this right?
