When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Un dessin au trait ne représente que les contours des objets. Il n'indique pas leur modelé ou relief à l'intérieur du contour par des effets d' ombre et de lumière.

I'm not familiar with the test, but it sounds as if the patient was asked to name objects etc from line drawing images ie represented just by their contours.

Here, we report on a patient with visual agnosia for
line drawings and silhouettes following an ischaemic
stroke in the region of the right posterior cerebral artery......
The patient’s visual recognition ability was examined
using real objects, photographs, line drawings and
silhouette pictures. T

: Yes, probably simplified images, easy to identify, without the ambiguity or subjectiive elements that might result from a photo.

bi-level or monochrome images

Traduire cette page
Binary images are also called bi-level or two-level. This means that each pixel is stored as a single bit—i.e., a 0 or 1. The names black-and-white, B&W, monochrome or monochromatic are often used for this concept, but may also designate any images that have only one sample per pixel, such as grayscale images.

From the source text I understand that colour is opposed to monochrome

: 'bi-level' is not by any means the standard graphics term, and 'monochrome' is just plain wrong -- that could simply indicate B&W half-tone images, quite different from 'line art' / This is a standard graphics term, can't twist it to mean what you like.

Line art is monochrome and I feel the issue is perception of colours or monochrome.

Discussion
While line art MAY be monochrome (though it doesn't by any means HAVE to be!), 'monochrome' is by no means only line art.
Leaving asside what you feel you'd like it to mean, there's no escaping the meaning of the totally clear and unambiguous source term -- unless you think you know better than the writer and would seek to re-write the source text to be what you THINK it should have been?
1) Identifying things from line drawings of them (i.e. simplified, perhaps stylized images)
2) Identifying colours correctly.
There is nothing to say these are talking about characteristics of THE SAME images
