Available again, an influential book that offers a framework for
understanding visual perception and considers fundamental questions
about the brain and its functions. David Marr's posthumously
published Vision (1982) influenced a generation of brain and
cognitive scientists, inspiring many to enter the field. In Vision,
Marr describes a general framework for understanding visual
perception and touches on broader questions about how the brain and
its functions can be studied and understood. Researchers from a
range of brain and cognitive sciences have long valued Marr's
creativity, intellectual power, and ability to integrate insights
and data from neuroscience, psychology, and computation. This MIT
Press edition makes Marr's influential work available to a new
generation of students and scientists. In Marr's framework, the
process of vision constructs a set of representations, starting
from a description of the input image and culminating with a
description of three-dimensional objects in the surrounding
environment. A central theme, and one that has had far-reaching
influence in both neuroscience and cognitive science, is the notion
of different levels of analysis-in Marr's framework, the
computational level, the algorithmic level, and the hardware
implementation level. Now, thirty years later, the main problems
that occupied Marr remain fundamental open problems in the study of
perception. Vision provides inspiration for the continuing efforts
to integrate knowledge from cognition and computation to understand
vision and the brain.
