HCR - Human Eye vs Camera

• Human Eye:
  • Retina measures about $5\times 5$ cm${}^2$ and contains $10^8$ sampling elements (roots and cones).
  • Spectral resolution $\sim 0.01$° over a $150$° field of view (NOT evenly distributed)
  • $11$ bit/element, $10$ Hz resolution
  • ==Resulting in a total of $3$ GB/s (considering both eyes)==.

• Camera
  • The cameras of today only archive information up to a rate of $12$MB/s (hundreds of times less than the human eye)
  • To get a 3d effect we use 2 cameras (one per eye) which project different 2D images, the brain does the rest:
