[3점] 02br 02br 02br 02br 02br 05205002br 02br 02br 02br 00If you connect a primitive digital camera to your PC and aim it at a happy face, your computer might perceive the image as it appears on the right-hand side of the given drawing. The digitized image of the face is ①01u00rough02u00 because the computer thinks in terms of ones and zeros and makes all-or-nothing approximations. This will, in some cases, ②01u00enhance02u00 subtle information about light versus dark differences, hence the ③01u00lack02u00 of detail in the eyes and mouth, and in other cases ④01u00exaggerate02u00 such differences, as shown in the edges of what should be a ⑤01u00smooth02u00, gradually curving face. 02br 02br 02br 02br 02br 02br 00Thanks for reading.02br 02br 02br 00The answer is #2 01u00enhance02u00.02br 02br 02br 00What I want to know is if #2 is not proper, what word is possible?02br 02br 02br 00Thanks. 02br 02br 02br 00<Clive from Canada>02br 02br 02br 00Hi,02br 02br 02br 00I don't really find the word 'enhance' wrong in this context.02br 02br 02br 00Best wishes, Clive02br 02br 02br 00<Tidus from England> 02br 02br 02br 00I don't fully understand what this is actually saying, but "enhance subtle information about light versus dark differences, hence the lack of detail...", if subtle information is 'enhanced', it doesn't sound right that it would lead to a 'lack' of detail? I'd have thought, enhanced would result in more detail? 02br 02br 02br 00Therefore, you could replace 'enhance' with 'affect' or 'reduce'02br 02br 02br 00<Grammar Geek from Pennsylvania, USA>02br 02br 02br 00I think "ignore" might work. 02br 02br 02br 00It can't see the subtle difference - it's all black or it's all white, so if a spot it's looking at has both, it has to make a decision about whether to go all black or all white. Other choices: overlook, minimze...02br 02br 02br 00<Stenka25's reply for all of the opinions above>02br 02br 02br 00Thanks all of you.02br 02br 00Clive, Tidus, Grammer Geek.02br 02br 00I think Tidus' and Grammer Geek's reply is logical. 02br 02br 02br 00Here's what I thought on the ground of your opinions.02br 02br 02br 00In the following part, "enhance subtle information about light versus dark differences," ENHANCE contradicts LACK in "the lack of detail."02br 02br 02br 00Since "enhance subtle information about light versus dark differences" means that the image becomes more clear, "the lack of detail" conflicts with "enhance subtle information about light versus dark differences."02br 02br 02br 00In the given drawing 'the lack of detail' makes sense, so 'enhance' is wrong. And this is Tidus' point. 02br 02br 00But in terms of proper words, I think Grammer Geek's answer is better.02br 02br 00So I take his one, 'ignore or overlook.'02br 02br 00Am I right?02br 02br 00(Thanks for reading this long post, but I want to doublecheck^^)02br 02br 00Pleas feel to join to share your opinion.02br 02br 00Thanks.02br 030srcfile:///C:/DOCUME~1/BAEDON~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/Hnc/BinData/EMB00000e6403e7.jpgw146h133511name[문서의 처음]512name#571f0bb0
