quantum languages mean people can add quantum to millions of words

It’s justified in this context though because the technique does rely on quantum properties.

Remember to ask for paper as a plastic bag causes issues.

Neat, no reason machines vision should have the same limitations as human vision.

Whoopie. Nearly all humans can see "millions of colors" too. Since they're only talking about SHADES of colors, not individual, separate colors.

Yes, this is a nice step for computers. No, it's not a ground-breaking amazing thing that humans can't do.

Shades are independent colors. Even if they don't have a name. The entire concept of color is a human conceptual one not one that exists in physics. When you get right down to it there are no natural colors that are actually one color. Even the best single wavelength emitters output in a range around an average wavelength not one color.

A typical human can only see about a million colors we can't differentiate finer than that.

People trained with color reference swaths can do better

My cell phone camera can see millions of colours too. I’m not sure what is different about what these guys are doing.

If it’s legit, a different method of capturing light may have applications in self driving as the current crop of vision systems is easily fooled.

I think that's just the super position of intestinal entanglement, if you measure it things should clear up or get worse.

I can always tell when a headline is from r/Futurology. Pretty sure those paint matching devices at the hardware store can recognize millions of colors too

Yeah my cell phone can detect 16.6 million colors so I'm going to be truly impressed when we come out with the technology to reduce that number.

What a non article.

Also, even conventional camera sensors can see millions of colors. For an 8 bit RAW file (typical RAW files are 14 or 16 bit) each color channel can be one of 256 values.

256^3 = 16,777,216 colors per pixel.

If you go up to a 14 bit RAW file you'll be up to about 4.4 trillion colors.

The "important" part is at the very end:

>As light passes through these windows, the machine processes the colour as data, explains Ostadabbas. Machine learning models then look for patterns in order to better identify the corresponding colours analysed by the device.

>“Instead of breaking it down into its principal red, green and blue components, when a coloured light appears, say, on a detector, instead of just seeking those components, we are using the entire spectral information,” says Kar.

"Ordinary" cameras sensors (CCD/CMOS) use filters (e.g. Bayer, which also aims to account for the human eye's sensitivity to green light) to reconstruct an image made up of the three primary colours (RGB). The camera sensor does not actually detect "millions" of colours - it just detects varying levels of the colours passed through by the filter.

As I understand the article, this is a different approach that does not restrict the recorded spectrum in the same way.
