What is Research about ?
Research is about Questions
NOAA:
A good scientific question is one that
can have an answer.
Wittgenstein:
The riddle does not exist.
If a question can be put at all,
then it can also be answered.
What does this mean ?
Even worse . . .
Humans are social.
We seek approval and group acceptance.
This means:
We ask questions for which
(a) we know the answer and that
(b) reconfirm our group opinion
at least if we are human !
Image Enhancement:
A flat histogram has the best
“information”.
but:
„flattening the log()“
looks better ? ? ?
( internal software package )
Conventional wisdom:
Image Enhancement:
A flat “log” histogram has the best
appearance.
BUT ! ! !
L* Y1/3 and not L* log( Y )
New wisdom:
Flat Log 1/Cube
New wisdom: short-lived !
L´ Y1/3
Programming error !
L´ log( Y1/3 )
