  1. How many more colors human can distinguish compared with shrimp? Why?

    • Humans can distinguish around 10 million colors, while mantis shrimp detect more spectral bands with their 16 photoreceptor types.
    • Humans may be better at distinguishing colors because their brains have more processing power.
  2. What light spectrum range human can see?

    • Humans can see light in the range of 400nm to 700nm
  3. What is hyperspectral imaging? And its applications?

    • Hyperspectral imaging captures images of many spectral bands beyond visible light.
    • It is used in astronomy, precision agriculture and environmental monitoring.
  4. What’s the history of animal vision? History of computer vision?

    • Animal vision evolved from simple eye points to complex eyes with rods and cones to detect color and light.
    • Computer vision began as basic image recognition in the 1960s and evolved with the development of deep learning in the early 2000s, and is now used in areas such as self-driving cars and medical imaging.
