A dynamical model of perceptual grouping

Perceptual Grouping and Change Detection Perceptual Grouping in Change Detection Perceptual Grouping and Change Detection

Detection of an item changing its location from one instance to another is typically unaffected by changes in the shape or color of contextual items. However, we demonstrate here that such location change detection is severely impaired if the elongated axes of contextual items change orientation, even though individual locations remain constant and even though the orientation was irrelevant to ...

Evaluating a computational model of perceptual grouping by proximity.

A formal approach to the phenomenon of perceptual grouping by proximity was investigated. Grouping judgments of random dot patterns were made by the CODE algorithm (van Oeffelen & Vos, 1982) and several related algorithms, and these judgments were compared with subjects' grouping judgments for the same stimuli. Each algorithm predicted significantly more subject judgments than would be expected...

Target-driven Perceptual Grouping

Perceptual Grouping Using Superpixels

Perceptual grouping plays a critical role in both human and computer vision. However, with the object categorization community’s preoccupation with object detection, interest in perceptual grouping has waned. The reason for this is clear: the object-independent, mid-level shape priors that form the basis of perceptual grouping are subsumed by the object-dependent, high-level shape priors define...

Regularity-based Perceptual Grouping

This paper investigates perceptual grouping from a logical point of view, defining a grouping interpretation as a particular kind of logical expression, and then developing an explicit inference theory in terms of such expressions. First, a regularity-based interpretation language is presented, in which an observed configuration is characterized in terms of the regularities (special configurati...
