The human visual system
The interpretation of colour images is one of the most common tasks in remote sensing, through human vision.
The human visual system comprises a receptor, the eyes, linked to a processing system, the brain.

The human visual system (cont.)
The human eye is very similar to a camera: Light reflected from or emitted by an object is
focused by a lens on the back of the eye. Cells on the back wall of the eye, the retina,
have an electrochemical response to the level of light that they absorb.
The response from the cells is interpreted by the brain to form an image of the reality.

Absorption spectra
Eyes contain cells that respond to a particular type of EMR.
The wavelengths of lights that the retinal cells respond to can be measured.
Pigments within the cells absorb certain wavelengths more than others.

The retina
There are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.
Rods: respond to small changes in intensity, but are insensitive to differences in wavelength (scotopic vision).
Cones: need a greater degree of illumination, but sensitive to differences in wavelength (photopic vision). Three varieties of cones sensitive to different
narrow bands of spectrum

Colour vision
Colour vision comes from relative differences in the amount of either blue, green or red light that are absorbed by cones on the retina.
The trichromatic nature of human vision is the basis of red-green-blue light theory. A colour is viewed by stimulating each
of the three cones in a controlled manner.

Reproducing colours
The hue that we see depends on the ratio of blue, green and red lights which are known as the additive colour primaries.
The three primaries can be mixed together to produce all colour shades

15
Pigments
Colours can also be produced by starting with white and subtracting a proportion of the blue, green or red.
A red car looks red because the other colour components (blue and green) are absorbed by pigments in the paint.
These pigments are known as subtractive primaries.

the RGB colour cube with axes redefined according to the shade of colour, the purity of colour and the brightness of colour.

Colour images and colour photos
Black and white photos record all light as a shade of grey.
If filters are used in front of the camera, a picture can be taken of only blue, green or red light.
When the picture of blue light is coloured blue, green coloured green and red coloured red, we see a normal colour picture.

False colour images
If we change the picture using red light for blue photo, green for red, blue for green, we produce a false colour image, or false colour composite.
Similarly, we can use these primaries to show some images recorded in the ‘invisible’ areas (also called bands) of spectrum (e.g. infrared), we can ‘see’ what we could not see by our naked eyes.

Visible and near-infrared lights
The choice of bands from a remote sensor depends on the type of information that you want to find in the image.
Infrared light is very useful for vegetation and soil interpretation because plants absorb most of the visible light while reflecting high in near-infrared.
Using a false colour composite, vegetation information can be enhanced by assigning red light to near-infrared bands.

Interpreting images
Computer processed images enhance differences within the image, not just in colour (hue), but also in the strength and brightness of the colours (saturation and intensity).
Other information, e.g. texture and tones, can also be used to enhance the images to help us to interpret the images.
