While vision might not be the best avenue for studying general purpose intelligence, it is worthwhile to think of vision as more related to hard AI and less of a problem of applied machine learning.

I think once vision researchers understand just how close they are to hardcore AI, they will realize that there is a plethora of knowledge (not all visual) about the world that can be used to create better object recognition systems.
