A century of Gestalt psychology in visual perception: I. Perceptual grouping and figure–ground organization.

J Wagemans, JH Elder, M Kubovy, SE Palmer… - Psychological …, 2012 - psycnet.apa.org
Abstract In 1912, Max Wertheimer published his paper on phi motion, widely recognized as
the start of Gestalt psychology. Because of its continued relevance in modern psychology …

Edge and line oriented contour detection: State of the art

G Papari, N Petkov - Image and Vision Computing, 2011 - Elsevier
We present an overview of various edge and line oriented approaches to contour detection
that have been proposed in the last two decades. By edge and line oriented we mean …

Feature-based human face detection

KC Yow, R Cipolla - Image and vision computing, 1997 - Elsevier
Human face detection has always been an important problem for face, expression and
gesture recognition. Though numerous attempts have been made to detect and localize …

Global competition and local cooperation in a network of neural oscillators

D Terman, DL Wang - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1995 - Elsevier
An architecture of locally excitatory, globally inhibitory oscillator networks is proposed and
investigated both analytically and by computer simulation. The model for each oscillator …

Image segmentation based on oscillatory correlation

DL Wang, D Terman - Neural Computation, 1997 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study image segmentation on the basis of locally excitatory, globally inhibitory oscillator
networks (LEGION), whereby the phases of oscillators encode the binding of pixels. We …

Quantitative measures of change based on feature organization: Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

S Sarkar, KL Boyer - Computer vision and image understanding, 1998 - Elsevier
One important task of site monitoring is change detection from aerial images. Change, in
general, can be of various types. In this paper we address the problem of developmental …

An active contour model for mapping the cortex

CA Davatzikos, JL Prince - IEEE Transactions on Medical …, 1995 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A new active contour model for finding and mapping the outer cortex in brain images is
developed. A cross-section of the brain cortex is modeled as a ribbon, and a constant speed …

Perceptual organization in computer vision: A review and a proposal for a classificatory structure

S Sarkar, KL Boyer - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and …, 1993 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The role of perceptual organization in computer vision systems is explored. This is done
from four vantage points. A brief history of perceptual organization research in both humans …

Robust and efficient detection of salient convex groups

DW Jacobs - IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and …, 1996 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper describes an algorithm that robustly locates salient convex collections of line
segments in an image. The algorithm is guaranteed to find all convex sets of line segments …

Graph characteristics from the heat kernel trace

B Xiao, ER Hancock, RC Wilson - Pattern Recognition, 2009 - Elsevier
Graph structures have been proved important in high level-vision since they can be used to
represent structural and relational arrangements of objects in a scene. One of the problems …
