Imre,
I did not search the litterature on the topic. In the 90's, I did a Ph.D. ''The Perception of the Image World''. I came up with a visual perception model based onto a model of the image world. The image world here is the optical images that are projected on the retinas of animals with eyes, in particular humans. These images are luminance topographical surfaces. I then came up with a geometrical characterisization of the regular image structures in the image world based on the scale-space evolution of creases in topographies. The result is a taxonomic tree of all crease structures. The leaves of this taxonomic tree are the image structure corresponding to all you can see in the world and the similirarity between two image structures correspond to their common descent from the root of the taxonomic tree. This is a theoretical tree that do not exist in Nature but biological evolution of visual systems will make them converged towards the structure of the image world tree when it get gradually populated by the newly evolved image structure corresponding to all the animals and their movements. The perceptual tree is made of image structure detection schemata leading from the root to the leaves. Visual perception correspond to the actualization of a particular path in the perceptual schemata tree. Imagination, is the self-actualization in the perceptual schemata tree. The first nodes near the root of the image tree are the platonic crease line, square, circle etc. The actualization of a particular image structure in the perceptual tree recapitualate the ontogeny of the 3D surface that was projected on the retina.
