Psychological research on perceptual organization is reviewed, and a theoretical framework
is presented to account for it. The review focusses on the organizational phenomena of …

Existing computational analyses of the perception of structure from motion assume that
moving elements on the retina projectively correspond to identifiable moving points in 3 …

The field of perceptual organization in vision is surveyed and analyzed from
phenomenological, empirical, and theoretical perspectives. Structuralist, Gestaltist, and …

Perceptual organization refers to constraints on what is perceived (eg, with visual angle held
constant, apparent size and apparent distance covary; apparent figural quality varies with …

Abstracet-Many researchers have proposed that objects are perceived as structural
descriptions, which specify the configuration of an object's features (or parts) in terms of their …

Recent work on computer vision suggests that viewpoint-independent representation of
objects can be achieved by imposing a canonical reference frame and by describing the …

This paper examines the processing of visual information beyond the creation of the early
representations. A fundamental requirement at this level is the capacity to establish visually …

This article is a tutorial overview of a sample of central issues in visual cognition, focusing on
the recognition of shapes and the representation of objects and spatial relations in …

Perceptual grouping is the process by which elements in the visual image are aggregated
into larger and more complex structures, ie,“objects.” This paper reports a study of the spatial …

A distinction has previously been proposed between global properties, defined by their
position in the hierarchical structure of the stimulus, and wholistic/configural properties …
