Vision perception is ambiguous and visual arts play with these ambiguities. While perceptual ambiguities are resolved with prior constraints, artistic ambiguities are resolved by conventions. Is there a relationship between priors and conventions? This review surveys recent work related to these ambiguities in composition, spatial scale, illumination and color, three-dimensional layout, shape, and movement. While most conventions seem to have their roots in perceptual constraints, those conventions that differ from priors may help us appreciate how visual arts differ from everyday perception.
视觉感知具有模糊性，视觉艺术则利用这些模糊性。虽然感知模糊性可通过先验约束来解决，但艺术模糊性是通过惯例来解决的。先验与惯例之间存在关系吗？这篇综述考察了近期在构图、空间尺度、光照与色彩、三维布局、形状和运动等方面与这些模糊性相关的研究。虽然大多数惯例似乎都源于感知约束，但那些与先验不同的惯例可能有助于我们理解视觉艺术与日常感知的差异。
