TL;DR
A good understanding of optics, the retinal image, and the anatomy and physiology of eye and brain would unravel the puzzle of visual perception.
Abstract
Visual perception has perplexed researchers in philosophy and psychology for centuries. Now it’s also perplexing computer scientists. Despite persistent efforts by many noted scientists, it is still unclear how our brain “sees” the visual signals received by our eyes [10]. Earlier it was believed that a good understanding of optics, the retinal image, and the anatomy and physiology of eye and brain would unravel the puzzle of visual perception. However, the many advances in these fields have not solved the problem.

Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.

1,216 Citations1976P. Hartl
From an analysis point of view an image can be considered as a two-dimensional area of picture elements (pixels), each of which is characterized by a gray level, which are assumed to represent the radiant energy of some electromagnetic spectral range.
Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciencesEarly processing of visual information
1,043 Citations1976David Marr
It is argued that "non-attentive" vision is in practice implemented by these grouping operations and first order discriminations acting on the primal sketch, and implies that such knowledge should influence the control of, rather than interfering with, the actual data-processing that is taking place lower down.

The problem of borderline cases in set theory and the two classical approaches of precisifying them out, or admitting them as a third case, are discussed, leading to Zadeh's suggestion of continuous degrees of set membership.

8 Citations1981Goesta H. Granlund
Images contain a great deal of information which requires large processing capabilities, so for segmentation of images having more subtle features such as noisy lines or edges, texture, color, etc more elaborate procedures have to be used.
