Due to distortion, noise, segmentation errors, overlap, and occlusion of objects in digital images, it is usually impossible to extract complete object contours or to segment the whole objects. However, in many cases parts of contours can be correctly reconstructed either by performing edge grouping or as parts of boundaries of segmented regions. Therefore, recognition of objects based on their...

In this study, we consider how colour contrast can be used to integrate form and how it interacts with luminance contrast in the task. The performance of form integration was assessed by measuring the detection of a winding "contour" of aligned gabor elements embedded in a background of randomly oriented gabors, using both luminance and isoluminant (red/green) contrast. Performance on the task ...

The contour generator is an important visibility feature of a smooth object seen under parallel projection. It is the curve on the surface which seperates front-facing regions from back-facing regions. The apparent contour is the projection of the contour generator onto a plane perpendicular to the view direction. Both curves play an important role in computer graphics. Our goal is to obtain fa...
