Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'visual' (related to sight) + 'perception' (gaining awareness) yields 'perception by sight' or 'awareness through vision', so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the phrase. While the item can be used technically (machine vision), that specialized usage is a straightforward domain extension of the transparent, cross‑linguistic concept.
Etymology
The noun visual perception comes from the parts visual, meaning 'about seeing', and perception, meaning 'how we understand things'. Imagine your eyes sending pictures to your brain so you can tell shapes and colors, so it means the ability 'to understand what you see'.
