Amodal volume completion: 3D visual completion

This work considers the common problem of completing partially visible artifacts within a 3D scene. Human vision abilities to complete such artifacts are well studied within the realms of perceptual psychology. However, the psychological explanations for completion have received only limited application in the domain of 3D computer vision. Here, we examine prior work in this area of computer vision with reference to psychological accounts of completion and identify remaining challenges for future work. 2005 Elsevier Inc.
