Good read, but AFAICT researches still don’t fully understand how birds fly, yet planes fly at higher altitudes and at faster speeds.
Computer vision is probably not going to mimic human eye that closely
I agree that CV does not need to mimick everything about human vision but we still have a long way to go before having vision as robust and efficient as humans. Moreover there are benefits in interpretability and explainability to mimicking human vision more closely. If CV perceived the world similarly it can fail in more similar and predictable ways.
