An important difference between animal (and our) eyes is that the biological systems use logarithmic intensity in signaling, not linear.

2 pulses encode a signal that's a factor higher than a 1 pulse signal.

You see this limitation in the video as well. That CCD video, the one with some vision and color but huge amounts of noise, I feel you see that it's clamping to some limited domain. Increasing it's range would improve things a lot.
