Study Notes

Object and Scene Perception: Gestalt Principles of Grouping

The binding problem refers to the issue of how an object's individual features are combined to create a coherent percept.
Illusory conjunctions occur when attention is inhibited and features from different objects are incorrectly bound together.
Feature Integration Theory predicts that conjunction searches, where attention needs to be applied to each object in turn, will be slow.
Perception of objects and scenes is much harder for computers than humans, and recognition systems using artificial neural networks often misclassify images.
Good continuation and Pragnanz are Gestalt principles of grouping, where aligned contours are grouped together, and the resultant figure is made as simple as possible.
Similarity and proximity are other principles of grouping, where objects that are similar or closer together are more likely to be grouped.
Common fate and common region are additional principles of grouping, where elements that move in the same way or are within the same region tend to group together.
Uniform connectedness is a principle of grouping where connected regions with the same visual characteristics tend to group together.
Segregation is the process of separating parts of a scene to form separate wholes and is necessary for making sense of a scene.
Perceptual organization is achieved by the processes of grouping and segregation, which allow a scene to be organized into its constituent objects.
Apparent motion and illusory contours are two pieces of evidence for Gestaltism, which claims that conscious awareness can have characteristics not present in any of the elementary sensations.
Object perception is difficult because the stimulus on the retina is ambiguous, objects can be partially occluded or blurred, and objects can look different in different poses and from different viewpoints.Object and Scene Perception
Objects are perceived as "figures" and the background as the "ground" in perception.
Regions in front, at the bottom, convex, or recognizable are more likely to be seen as figures.
Depth ordering affects figure perception, and past experience is also used to segregate objects.
Convex regions are assumed to be figures, and overlapping objects can be segregated using knowledge.
Gist perception is the overall impression of a scene, which can be perceived rapidly and accurately.
Potter (1976) showed that observers can rapidly perceive a scene's gist with near 100% accuracy.
Fei-Fei et al found that the longer the stimulus presentation time, the more detailed and accurate the scene's description.
Observers can extract some gist in as little as 27 ms, but longer viewing time leads to more detailed perception.
The longer observers view a scene, the more detailed the gist they extract.
Four figural cues are regions in front, at the bottom, convex, and recognizable.
The gist of a scene is the overall impression of what the scene is about.
Competing solutions, principles of grouping, principles of segregation, and gist perception are the topics covered in the lecture.
