My blog specific feed: Martian Misery will be discontinued and deleted and future blog entry notifications will appear here. New soap box content will also be notified here. <br /><br />All future content additions from all sections will appear here.

I admit that I was wrong on a number of points and I apologise for my errors. The main thrust of my analysis, detailing the effect of Poisson Aliasing on camera behaviour remains correct but some assumptions I made with respect to aperture, maximum electron count and Bayer interpolation were well wide of the mark, resulting in some numbers that were out of the ballpark.<br /><br />Thanks to the folks at Luminous Landscape forums, who alerted me to my errors, I have rejigged the whole diatribe and this time I have actually proved my results with real output from a range of real cameras.<br /><br />Along the way I had to derive an optical formula from first principles, setup and solve an equation in double integrals and write a diagnostic app in "C".<br /><br /><a href="http://warrenmars.com/photography/technical/resolution/resolution.htm">For Science Geeks Only!</a>.<br /><br /><br />---<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/592018319604160394-3167341857675573801?l=martiancontent.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>WazzoTheMartianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05299576370299006364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592018319604160394.post-46873086152822236162009-12-04T14:22:00.000+11:002009-12-04T14:30:03.684+11:00Think you understand the theoretical basis for Digital Cameras? Huh! Unless you are on the R&D staff for some major manufacturer I very much doubt it.<br /><br />I set about trying to figure it all out late last year and it has certainly been a surprising journey. You won't find this stuff anywhere else on the net, no doubt the big companies know it all but they keep their secrets to themselves. <br /><br />I figured most of this out from first principles and the few facts that I could glean from the web. It all adds up though and matches the facts, so I am confident that I've got it pretty right.<br /><br /><a href="http://warrenmars.com/photography/technical/technical.htm">Check It Out</a>.<br /><br /><br />---<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/592018319604160394-4687308615282223616?l=martiancontent.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>WazzoTheMartianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05299576370299006364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592018319604160394.post-16703118959383652042009-11-28T19:45:00.001+11:002009-11-28T19:45:52.549+11:00I have written a number of ribald poems over the years, invariably riding on the ideas of others, but this is ok since I am happy to give them credit. I was reticent to publish these works, not wishing to become typecast like <span style="font-style:italic;">Rodney Rude</span> or <span style="font-style:italic;">Kevin "Bloody" Wilson</span>. However, everyone whose opinion I valued that I spoke to on the issue said: "Publish and be damned!".
