With the amazing images coming back from Juno's flyby of Io, I finally took a stab at processing some JunoCam images. This image shows Io's north polar region from 2839km distance.

ok, there are illusions but they are not arbitrary as your discussion implies. I your example, the brightness, not color, illusion is due to the surrounding intensities and how the visual system emphasizes relative ove absolute intensity. Necessary as most objects only reflect light and relative intensity is what is more important than absolute intensity. So this illusion illustrates a visual strength not weakness.

“We’ve reached a tipping point where we have sufficient scientific knowledge of how to reintroduce species,” says Neil Carter, associate professor of #wildlife #conservation at the University of Michigan.

“But the social and political aspects are the other side of the coin. The biggest risk emerges from these animals coming into conflict with people and pets. It’s probably the number one issue facing conservation.”
