Seeing is apparently done effortlessly by the human and animal brains, but what really lies behind the interpretation of this most complex stream of sensations? There are several ways to attack this question. One approach is to prod and probe the living brain in action, or to observe it through advanced medical imaging instruments. Another is to record the psychological responses of human and animal subjects to visual stimuli. This lecture takes a third approach – looking at what might be required to simulate the intelligent behaviours that make up the ability to see. Taking inspiration from psychology and illusion, the notion is explored that seeing is an inherently chancy business. In common with other tasks that involve intelligence, it is argued that seeing is done by forming hypotheses about what is out in the world. It is a matter of continually weighing and re-weighing possible interpretations, in the light of incoming evidence. At the core of this activity is reasoning with probabilities. These ideas will be illustrated in the lecture using a variety of demonstrations of artificial vision systems.
