Aperceptual system is a computational system (biological or artificial) designed to makeinferences about properties of aphysical environment based on scenes.
In this context, ascene is defined as sensoryinformation that can flow from a physical environment into a computational system viasensory transduction. Asensory organ (biological or artificial) is used to capture this information. Therefore, a perceptual system must incorporate input from at least one sensory organ.
Examples of perceptual systems include:
Research in the field of perceptual systems focuses on computational aspects ofperception. For this reason, there is significant overlap withneuroscience,sensor design,natural scene statistics,[1][2] andcomputer science.
