I'm going to say no.
Seriously bro, where do you think the human visual system comes from?tk
Not from a plant, so I don't know where you're going with this.
does a plant can recognize someone looking into him/her?
It's slightly off-topic, but studies have shown that plants know when herbivores are grazing in their direction.Plants start to produce more bitter substances in their leaves, which discourages the herbivores.Some have suggested that this information is conveyed through the wood-wide web!See: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141111-plants-have-a-hidden-internet
It is well-known that humans do share many genes with plants bro...
Anyways, I'm just suggesting that the human visual system doesn't come from the stars
and probably is a evolutionary landmark of eukariotic organisms.
... does a plant can recognize someone looking into him/her? ...
Don't tell me, let me guess, cannabis plants ?.
To answer the top line question, no because the photoreceptors cannot distinguish enough detail to discriminate direction of gaze.It is thought that the early animal eye was no more than a few light sensitive cells that could detect night & day + the shadow of a predator.There is certainly a lot more going on in plants than you might imagine. Plants under attack by aphids appear to be able to communicate to nearby plants either by roots or scent.
Deep inside plant cells there are microtubules which may be useful for regulation of precognitive pathways implicated in vision processing! https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-06-microtubule-roadway-retina-energy-vision.htmlJust saying... tk
First of all, I don't think you know what the word "precognitive" means (unless you really are suggesting that plants can see the future).
Neurobiologist Provine believes that laughter emerges not from our conscious mind (in other words, the cortex) but from a more primitive part that he calls the “pre-cognitive brain.” He says, “We’re talking about something that’s very deep in our animal nature.” Panksepp, too, sees evidence that laughter is triggered by genetically older structures of the brain. He writes that “it is not exactly a cerebral activity. Then laughter must be an ancient response, part of our earliest evolution into mammals, and is triggered by brain regions that evolved from ancient times.”

You should have clarified that from the beginning, as that is an atypical definition of the word that your source gives.
