Document Summary

We perceive objects and scenes without any effort in our world but really this is a complex task. Patterns of different light create an image on our retina and from this information we perceive our visual environment. We have equipment that can also capture this information (cameras) but we are still developing programs that can perceive this information. Perceiving computers: humans are great at perceiving faces regardless of the view, computers can recognize faces too but are limited (cannot recognize faces that are at an angle) Google deepmind (video: a computer that can learn and thus potentially perceive, based on experience of youtube still frames computer teaches itself recognition (artificial intelligence) Inverse projection problem: an image on the retina can be caused by an infinite number of objects-need to determine the object that created the retinal image: the brain solves this issue using learning and perception.
