Consistency effects between objects in scenes

Consistency effects between objects in scenes.

How does context influence the perception of objects in scenes? Objects appear in a given setting with surrounding objects. Do objects in scenes exert contextual influences on each other? Do these influences interact with background consistency? In three experiments, we investigated the role of object-to-object context on object and scene perception. Objects (Experiments 1 and 3) and background...

Prioritizing new objects for eye fixation in real-world scenes: Effects of object–scene consistency

Recent research suggests that new objects appearing in real-world scenes are prioritized for eye fixations and by inference, for attentional processing. We examined whether semantic consistency modulates the degree to which new objects appearing in a scene are prioritized for viewing. New objects were added to photographs of real-world scenes during a fixation (new object with transient onset) ...

Enforcing Consistency of 3D Scenes with Multiple Objects Using Shape-from-Contours

In this paper we present a new approach for modelling scenes with multiple 3D objects from images taken from various viewpoints. Such images are segmented using either supervised or unsupervised algorithms. We consider the mean-shift and support vector machines for image segmentation using the colour and texture as features. Backprojections of segmented contours are used to enforce the consiste...

Cardinal directions between spatial objects: the pairwise-consistency problem

The paper formalizes an open-problem (called by the authors the pairwise-consistency problem) which is relevant in the context of cardinal directions among extended objects, proposes an efficient algorithmic solution for it, discusses the implementation of the algorithm and briefly reports the numerical results obtained by running the code.
