Exogenous spatial attention influences figure-ground assignment.
In a hierarchical stage account of vision, figure-ground assignment is thought to be completed before the operation of focal spatial attention. Results of previous studies have supported this account by showing that unpredictive, exogenous spatial precues do not influence figure-ground assignment, although voluntary attention can influence figure-ground assignment. However, in these studies, at...
متن کاملFigure-ground segmentation can occur without attention.
The question of whether or not figure-ground segmentation can occur without attention is unresolved. Early theorists assumed it can, but the evidence is scant and open to alternative interpretations. Recent research indicating that attention can influence figure-ground segmentation raises the question anew. We examined this issue by asking participants to perform a demanding change-detection ta...
متن کاملVisual Attention Model in Figure-Ground Reversal Perception
In figure-ground reversal perception for ambiguous figures, figure-ground relationship reverses depending on the position and the range of our attention. Our attention also changes depending on figural features. We propose a neural network model that explains a dynamic process concerning figure-ground perception and visual attention. Our model consists of two mechanisms: (i) one determines figu...
متن کاملV1 mechanisms and some figure-ground and border effects.
V1 neurons have been observed to respond more strongly to figure than background regions. Within a figure region, the responses are usually stronger near figure boundaries (the border effect), than further inside the boundaries. Sometimes the medial axes of the figures (e.g., the vertical midline of a vertical figure strip) induce secondary, intermediate, response peaks (the medial axis effect)...

Visual processes deal with analyzing images and extracting information from them. They play an important role in many of todays industries, e.g., in the medical instrument industry, the electronic and micro-electronic industry, the movie industry, the robotics industry, and in many other elds which require automatic extraction of visual information from images. One of the major di culties in im...
