The image created in reflected light DIC can often be interpreted as a true three-dimensional representation of the surface geometry, provided a clear distinction can be realized between raised and lowered regions in the specimen. It may be helpful if our definition of saliency embraces work on the human visual system (HVS) as well as the more abstract work on saliency, as it is certain that understanding by humans will always stand between recording of a useful signal from all manner of sensors and so-called actionable intelligence. A DARPA/DSO program lays down this requirement in a current program (Kruse 2010): The vision for the Neurotechnology for Intelligence Analysts (NIA) Program is to revolutionize the way that analysts handle intelligence imagery, increasing both the throughput of imagery to the analyst and overall accuracy of the assessments. Current computer-based target detection capabilities cannot process vast volumes of imagery with the speed, flexibility, and precision of the human visual system.
