Abstract
The study of the perception of visual information does not have a logical hierarchical structure; rather, it consists of a number of parallel threads, more or less related to each other. In this book, these threads are dealt with separately, although the adroit reader will have noticed a degree of tangling! In this chapter, the same separations are adopted and there are some rather general conclusions about the problems and prospects in the perception of visual information.
