Things nobody could see become clearly visible.

For example, there is the Retinex algorithm by NASA.

I was using a simple implementation of it in the vapor wave script I wrote.

bloody hell, a good camera and a good algorithm is the most accurate lie detector outside of an FMRI scan

shitposting with NASA technolgy - that's what I call real shitposting

lie detector?

we haven't really made them muc better than a coin flip

I've heard that some of them have gotten quite good at non-psychopats

source pls, if you know a good approach

can't remember where

Here is an example run of the Retinex algorithm.

?

speaking of cleaning up images

I'm fucking dying, this is hilarious.

remember the story about the NSA handing out webcam covers?

I love trans men, they demonstrate everything a thinking person knows about the sexes.

Just remember, the U.S. gov't spent $1 billion on NOAA to predict the weather and were less accurate than the Farmer's Almanac which cost $15.

I don't understand what the pictures are supposed to be

What does the algorithm do

My vaporwave script also uses Retinex: https://gist.github.com/UndeadMockingbird/f6e0f8ec88e7b8e276c51f03a3772b97

There's a reason vets aren't in horror movies.

I can show you if you give me an image

They'd hunt the monsters.

@Vesdii It enhances visibility.

One image has almost no contrast.

I should have posted them in the other order, before first.

So can they do that with video

Like, live

found the NSA cover thread, fucking glorious. NSA handed out webcam covers, and they're transparent enough that you can run contrasting algorithms and get actionable images out of it https://twitter.com/EFF/status/1091449476613468160

NASA uses it a lot for their satellite images.

@Tinytim Remember the story about the teacher who called the police because she was "monitoring" one of her male students on his school provided computer's camera in his bedroom at home and thought he was doing drugs? Officials found no "wrongdoing" occured.

What a coincidence! I was just watching that one.

@CasualSailor sooo. is this a case of "niiicee!" ?

@Tinytim It just goes to show that women can be creepers too.

but, I've been told that whamen can do no wrong
