Ah, yes but this type of processing is designed to to enhance visibility, however it doesn't necessarily preserve fidelity. Your example would be similar to applying a broad band audio signal to a narrow band pass filter in order that a voice signal be rendered more audible with a loss of all out of band information. This is not what we are talking about WRT high performance optical sensor performance limitations and post processing.
