computational approaches to perception  

Definition

  • Perception is the analysis of sensory input in the context of our prior perceptual experience of the world. The goal of such analysis in visual perception is to infer the identities, forms, and spatial arrangement of objects in the three-dimensional (3-D) scene based on our two-dimensional (2-D) retinal images.
