Vision: A Computational Investigation into the Human Representation and Processing of Visual Information by David Marr

michielstock's review against another edition

3.0

Difficult book to rate. I feel that it is a very personal and interesting viewpoint on the the perception of images, but I cannot shake the idea that it is also quite a bit outdated. It has a bit of an old AI feel where the focus was on algorithms rather than probability and networks. Contained some interesting concepts (for example, how we perceive depth and texture), but seemed to be both too technical and at the seem time too superficial to me...
