Computer Vision and Human Perception: An Essay on the Discovery of Constraints

Abstract

The study of vision, in both man and machine, is viewed as the discovery of constraints. Computational constraints often imply assumptions necessary for achieving a problem's solution, while psychological and neurophysiological ones restrict the manner in which such solutions can be achieved. These ideas are illustrated by several examples of research related to the early processing of visual information. The development of the paper takes place historically, starting with Helmholtz and Mach, as well as conceptually, from the concrete to the abstract, and anatomically, from the eye to the brain.
