Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'visual' (related to sight) combined with 'acuity' (keenness or clarity of perception) yields the ability to resolve fine visual detail. Even when used metaphorically for machine vision, the extension follows the same literal logic and is therefore predictable to a learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Visual acuity combines the words visual for seeing and acuity for 'sharpness', so imagine an eye chart with letters that get smaller and smaller and being able to read the tiny letters shows clear sight. So visual acuity means the power to see fine details.
