In the field of perception, a scene is information that can flow from a physical environment into a perceptual system via sensory transduction.^[1]

A perceptual system is designed to interpret scenes.^[2]

Examples of scenes include

Still images
Binocular still images
Moving images (movies)
Binocular moving images (~3D movies)
Sounds of a local environment (audio recordings)
Tactile properties of a local environment.

A natural scene is a scene that a perceptual system would typically encounter in a natural mode of operation. Therefore, a very relevant area of research is natural scene statistics.
