Vision System

A Vision System is a sensing system with a vision capability that implements vision algorithms to solve vision tasks.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Living Vision System to being a Mechanical Vision System.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Smelling System.
  • a Tasting System.
  • a Hearing System.

  • The visual system is the part of the central nervous system which gives organisms the ability to process visual detail, as well as enabling the formation of several non-image photo response functions. It detects and interprets information from visible light to build a representation of the surrounding environment. The visual system carries out a number of complex tasks, including the reception of light and the formation of monocular representations; the buildup of a nuclear

    binocular perception from a pair of two dimensional projections; the identification and categorization of visual objects; assessing distances to and between objects; and guiding body movements in relation to the objects seen. The psychological process of visual information is known as visual perception, a lack of which is called blindness. Non-image forming visual functions, independent of visual perception, include the pupillary light reflex (PLR) and circadian photoentrainment.
