# Human Vision, Color spaces, Transform

### Eyes are such a basic word for us, However it is more profound than just saying it. Eyes are evolved long time ago and today's world a great deal of creatures have complex eyes. Understanding the functioning of eyes contributed a lot to humanbeing and computer vision one of them.

### Why do things have eyes:

* **To see other things!**
* **Visual stimulus is an important signal**
* **Started as photoreceptive protein (eyespots)**

## **How do humans eyes work:**

* **Complex!**
* **Light passes through**
  * **Cornea, humours, lens refract light to focus**
* **Hit the retina**
* **Absorbed by photosensitive cells**
* **Info transmitted through optic nerve, processed by visual cortex**

### HUE, SATURATION, VALUE

* **Different model based on perception of light**
* **Hue: what color**
* **Saturation: how much color**
* **Value: how bright**
* **Allows easy image transforms**
  * **Shift the hue**
  * **Increase saturation**
