Scene (perception)

In the field of perception, a scene is information that can flow from a physical environment into a perceptual system via sensory transduction.[1][2]

A perceptual system is designed to interpret scenes.

Examples of scenes include

  • Still images
  • Binocular still images
  • Moving images (movies)
  • Binocular moving images (~3D movies)
  • Sounds of a local environment (audio recordings)
  • Tactile properties of a local environment.

A natural scene is a scene that a perceptual system would typically encounter in a natural mode of operation. Therefore, a very relevant area of research is natural scene statistics.[3][4]
