The neuroscience of how we see. A rigorous but accessible tour of the visual system — how the brain constructs our experience of the visual world from raw photons.

Andrej KarpathyAI researcher & former Tesla AI Director

David Marr proposes a complete framework of how the brain could process visual information from 2D image all the way to 3D geometries at the very end. Even coming up with a not-obviously-wrong hypothesis of this entire pipeline is no small feat and David almost makes it sound consistent and as if it could work if it was only implemented with a few details filled in here and there. I do wonder if he was slightly ahead of his time, I'm sure he would have loved to play around with Kinect RGBD videos :) 4/5
