Abstract
In this chapter we continue our examination of computer vision in order to illustrate the difficulties of processing sensory data. In fact, these problems apply to most sensors, but they are easier to appreciate for computer vision and image processing.
We find certain things about seeing puzzling, because we do not find the whole business of seeing puzzling enough
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Further reading material
The vision research issues discussed in this chapter are reviewed by M. Brady in Computing Surveys (1982), volume 14, number 1, pp. 3–71. Also, the journal Artificial Intelligence has a relevant special issue on computer vision (volume 17, numbers 1–3; 1981). The IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence are a source of research results.
The book Computer Vision by D. H. Ballard and C. M. Brown (Prentice-Hall, 1982) can be highly recommended for insight into these topics.
An interesting discussion about `Expert vision systems’ is in the useful journal Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing (1986), volume 34, pp. 99–117
For Marr’s seminal work on computational models of human visual processing, see Vision by D. Marr (Freeman, 1982).
