Visual Perception Task

A Visual Perception Task is a perception task that involves visible objects.

• AKA: Visual Processing.
• Context:
  • It can be solved by a Visual Perception System (that implements a visual perception algorithm to attain a visual perception capability).
  • It can range from being an Biological Visual Perception Task to being an Automated Visual Perception Task.
• Example(s):
  • a Visual Perception Benchmark Task (with vision data).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Sound Perception Task, such as speech perception.
  • a Smell Perception Task.
  • a Auditory Perception Task.
  • a Magnetism Perception Task.
• See: Pattern Recognition Task, Sensory Process, Vision Science, Object Manipulation.

  • Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment by processing information that is contained in visible light. The resulting perception is also known as eyesight, sight, or vision (adjectival form: visual, optical, or ocular). The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system, and are the focus of much research in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and molecular biology, collectively referred to as vision science.

This dichotomy - machines doing well things human find hard, while doing poorly what is easy for us - is a giant clue to the problem of how to construct an intelligent machine ...
