AI overview
Perception is the process by which our brains interpret sensory information—like visual images—to understand and identify the objects and shapes around us, often making educated guesses about what we're seeing even when we have incomplete information. It matters because understanding how perception works has helped scientists develop computer models that can mimic this human ability, enabling machines to recognize and reconstruct 3D objects from images, much like our brains do naturally.

Perception () is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information, in order to represent and understand the presented information or environment. All perception involves signals that go through the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sensory system. Vision involves light striking the retina of the eye; smell is mediated by odor molecules; and hearing involves pressure waves.
