Gestalt Principles for Attention and Segmentation in Natural and Artificial Vision Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gestalt psychology studies how the human visual system organizes the complex visual input into unitary elements. In this paper we show how the Gestalt principles for perceptual grouping and for figure-ground segregation can be used in computer vision. A number of studies will be shown that demonstrate the applicability of Gestalt principles for the prediction of human visual attention and for the automatic detection and segmentation of unknown objects by a robotic system.

Investigation of Bakhtiari Carpet Designs based on Kaplan-Gestalt Model
Carpet is one of the most important textiles man-made. The rug represents the aspirations and interests of the people who weave it. Therefore, recognizing the image in carpets can be a window into recognizing these ideals. In this research, Bakhtiari rug is investigated. Bakhtiari rugs (toranji, yalameh and cetral) are textiles produced by Bakhtiari people of choharmahal-o-bakhtiari province. T...
متن کاملPutting Gestalt Laws at Work
The inherent complexity and ambiguity of scene properties renders vision extremely difficult without taking advantage of the statistical regularities of natural images. The most basic forms of these image regularities are captured by the Gestalt laws of perceptual organization [5, 15, 21]. This paper reports two versions of a multiscale and multiorientation artificial recognition system in whic...
متن کاملAn iterative multi-scale tensor voting scheme for perceptual grouping of natural shapes in cluttered backgrounds
Grouping processes, which ”organize” a given data by eliminating the irrelevant items and sorting the rest into groups, each corresponding to a particular object, can provide reliable pre-processed information to higher level computer vision functions, such as object detection and recognition. In this paper, we consider the problem of grouping oriented segments in highly cluttered images. In th...
متن کاملSpatial-Taxon Information Granules as Used in Iterative Fuzzy-Decision-Making for Image Segmentation
An image conveys multiple meanings depending on the viewing context and the level of granularity at which the viewer perceptually organizes the scene. In image processing, an image can be similarly organized by means of a standardized natural-scene-taxonomy, borrowed from the study of human visual taxometrics. Such a method yields a three-dimensional representation comprised of a hierarchy of n...
متن کاملLearning Image Segmentations from Experience
The Problem: The image segmentation problem originated from the Gestalt school of psychological research, which focused on the organizational and grouping principles of human vision. Segmentation algorithms divide images into regions based on statistical or aesthetic qualities. Common goals are to encode the image efficiently, to separate foreground figures from background, or to locate the bou...
