Surrounding Modulation in Consistent Perception of Border- ownership among Various Shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of cells in monkeys’ V2 and V4 are selective for border-ownership (BO) that indicates the direction of figure with respect to the border [1]. A notable character of the cells that appears to be crucial for natural image processing is the consistent determination of BO for various stimuli. Each cell has preferred shapes, and is not capable of determining BO for all stimuli (incomplete cueinvariance), but it rarely shows contradictory BO for different stimuli (consistency).

Neural Computation of Surface Border Ownership and Relative Surface Depth from Ambiguous Contrast Inputs
The segregation of image parts into foreground and background is an important aspect of the neural computation of 3D scene perception. To achieve such segregation, the brain needs information about border ownership; that is, the belongingness of a contour to a specific surface represented in the image. This article presents psychophysical data derived from 3D percepts of figure and ground that ...
متن کاملFigure-Ground Organization in Visual Cortex for Natural Scenes
Figure-ground organization and border-ownership assignment are essential for understanding natural scenes. It has been shown that many neurons in the macaque visual cortex signal border-ownership in displays of simple geometric shapes such as squares, but how well these neurons resolve border-ownership in natural scenes is not known. We studied area V2 neurons in behaving macaques with static i...
متن کاملSpatial attention in early vision for the perception of border ownership.
Spatial attention alters contrast gain in early visual areas, which might affect the determination of border ownership (BO) that indicates the direction of figure with respect to the border. We investigated the role of spatial attention applied to early vision in the determination of BO with a computational model that consists of V1, V2, and posterior parietal (PP) modules. Attention alters con...
متن کاملConsistency of Border-Ownership Cells across Artificial Stimuli, Natural Stimuli, and Stimuli with Ambiguous Contours.
Segmentation and recognition of objects in a visual scene are two problems that are hard to solve separately from each other. When segmenting an ambiguous scene, it is helpful to already know the present objects and their shapes. However, for recognizing an object in clutter, one would like to consider its isolated segment alone to avoid confounds from features of other objects. Border-ownershi...
متن کاملShape from shadows.
The colors, textures, and shapes of shadows are physically constrained in several ways in natural scenes. The visual system appears to ignore these constraints, however, and to accept many patterns as shadows even though they could not occur naturally. In the stimuli that we have studied, the only requirements for the perception of depth due to shadows were that shadow regions be darker than th...
