Scene statistics

Scene statistics is a discipline within the field of <a href="/facts/Perception/xLK0n2q4">perception</a>. It is concerned with the statistical regularities related to <a href="/facts/Scene_(perception)/q8pl0kYz">scenes</a>. It is based on the premise that a <a href="/facts/Perceptual_system/PCFJ0oUM">perceptual system</a> is designed to interpret <a href="/facts/Scene_(perception)/q8pl0kYz">scenes</a>.
Biological perceptual systems have evolved in response to physical properties of natural environments. Therefore <a href="/facts/Natural_scene_perception/1A2BxbbI">natural scenes</a> receive a great deal of attention.
Natural scene statistics are useful for defining the behavior of an <a href="/facts/Ideal_observer_analysis/axTV6mpM">ideal observer</a> in a natural task, typically by incorporating <a href="/facts/Detection_theory/XWSx5V1K">signal detection theory</a>, <a href="/facts/Information_theory/qNLH3U5P">information theory</a>, or <a href="/facts/Estimation_theory/4nbgFDec">estimation theory</a>.
