When Gestalt Processing Meets Low-Level Feature Integration

Feature integration that routinely occurs without focal attention.
To analyze visual scenes, the visual system decomposes the visual scene into features that are processed in parallel by separate subsystems. Certain theories (Treisman, Wolfe) propose that these subsystems function independently before focal attention integrates their output. We describe a new paradigm-the gestalt detection task--that directly assesses the degree of preattentive dependence betw...
متن کاملExtraction of early perceptual structure in dot patterns: Integrating region, boundary, and component gestalt
This paper presents a computational approach to extracting basic perceptual structure, or the lowest level grouping in dot patterns. The goal is to extract the perceptual segments of dots that group together because of their relative locations. The dots are interpreted as belonging to the interior or the border of a perceptual segment, or being along a perceived curve, or being isolated. To per...
متن کاملDiscrete neural substrates underlie complementary audiovisual speech integration processes
The ability to combine information from multiple sensory modalities into a single, unified percept is a key element in an organism's ability to interact with the external world. This process of perceptual fusion, the binding of multiple sensory inputs into a perceptual gestalt, is highly dependent on the temporal synchrony of the sensory inputs. Using fMRI, we identified two anatomically distin...
متن کاملRobust Feature Detection for 3D Object Recognition and Matching
Salient surface features play a central role in tasks related to 3D object recognition and matching. There is a large body of psychophysical evidence demonstrating the perceptual signiicance of surface features such as local minima of principal curvatures in the decomposition of objects into a hierarchy of parts. Many recognition strategies employed in machine vision also directly use features ...
متن کاملRelease of crowding by pattern completion.
In crowding, target perception deteriorates in the presence of flanking elements. Crowding is classically explained by low-level mechanisms such as pooling or feature substitution. However, we have previously shown that perceptual grouping between the target and flankers, rather than low-level mechanisms, determines crowding. There are many grouping cues that can determine crowding, such as low...
