Contour grouping: closure effects are explained by good continuation and proximity
Previous experimental studies have provided evidence that closed contours are easier to detect than open contours in random-element displays, and previous theoretical studies have shown that these effects might be explained by an active neural mechanism (e.g., a "reverberating neural circuit") sensitive to closure. To test this hypothesis, detection thresholds were measured in five experiments ...
متن کاملGrouping by Proximity in Haptic Contour Detection
We investigated the applicability of the Gestalt principle of perceptual grouping by proximity in the haptic modality. To do so, we investigated the influence of element proximity on haptic contour detection. In the course of four sessions ten participants performed a haptic contour detection task in which they freely explored a haptic random dot display that contained a contour in 50% of the t...
متن کاملOptimal Contour Closure by Superpixel Grouping
Detecting contour closure, i.e., finding a cycle of disconnected contour fragments that separates an object from its background, is an important problem in perceptual grouping. Searching the entire space of possible groupings is intractable, and previous approaches have adopted powerful perceptual grouping heuristics, such as proximity and co-curvilinearity, to manage the search. We introduce a...
متن کاملTime course of grouping of shape by perceptual closure: effects of spatial proximity and collinearity.
We examined time course of grouping of shape by perceptual closure in three experiments using a primed matching task. The gaps between the closure-inducing contours varied in size. In addition, depending on the distribution of the gaps along the closure-inducing contours--occurring at straight contour segments or at the point of change in contour direction--collinearity was either present or ab...
متن کاملBayesian contour extrapolation: Geometric determinants of good continuation
We investigated whether observers use rate of change of curvature in visually extrapolating contour shape. Arcs of Euler spirals with positive or negative rate of change of curvature gamma (hence linearly increasing or decreasing curvature) disappeared behind the straight-edge of a half-disk occluder. Observers adjusted the position and the orientation of a line probe around the curved portion ...
