They already explained this for you.
The photo isn’t taken in colour because it’s in infrared.
It is in infrared because it is easier to work with.
Further?
Photos for fines don’t need pretty colours.
Need me to lower the bar again?
The law is black and white and so are the receipts.
Nothing to do with RAM and storage in datacenters. All to do with the camera.
Seatbelt is dark, why the fuck is infrared picking it up as white?
We have such advanced technology, why can't the cameras at bare minimum detect a fucking seatbelt?
Color isn't outright necessary, but holy fuck it can't even detect illumination levels?
But why male models?
I got you an updoot back bro. He's probably too young to get it.
Because the dark color is reflected visible light, it probably reflects more infrared light so looks bright to an infrared camera. We technically shouldn't even be able to see this image at all, it's being rerendered in visible light but as infrared is one "color" it's shown as monochrome
No shit, that's the entire point, IR cameras shouldn't be used at all to 'see' seatbelts...
I've literally programmed nonlinear photochomatic color processing software that works on Windows XP, back in 2013, on potato hardware.
You're preaching to the choir homie, there's no damn reason such cameras should exist in the first place, let alone monochrome.
