A theory of visual interpolation in object perception.
692
TL;DR: A new theory explaining the perception of partly occluded objects and illusory figures, from both static and kinematic information, in a unified framework is described, with a detailed theory of unit formation that accounts for most cases of boundary perception in the absence of local physical specification.

Tracing the identity of objects.
TL;DR: A causal continuer model is proposed for how people judge the identity of objects, based on an earlier theory by Nozick (1981), which makes correct qualitative predictions about identity across radical disassembly as well as more ordinary transformations.

Judging egocentric distance on the ground: occlusion and surface integration.
TL;DR: The findings provide support for the SSIP hypothesis and reveal, surprisingly, that the phenomenal visual space is not unique but depends on how optic information is selected.

Infant Visual Perception
Philip J. Kellman,Martha E. Arterberry +1 more
- 01 Jun 2007
TL;DR: It is argued that there is a consistent overall picture emerging from research: Visual perception depends heavily on inborn and early maturing mechanisms, although evidence also suggests roles for learning, especially in calibration and tuning.
Part-Based Representations of Visual Shape and Implications for Visual Cognition
Manish Singh,Donald D. Hoffman +1 more
TL;DR: Part-based representations explain various aspects of human visual cognition, including figure-ground assignment, memory for shapes, visual search for shapes and the perception of transparency, and the allocation of visual attention to objects as discussed by the authors.
The role of edges and line-ends in illusory contour formation.
Gregory W. Lesher,Ennio Mingolla +1 more
TL;DR: Any valid model of illusory contour formation must account for interference effects between parallel lines or between those neural units responsible for completion of boundary signals in directions perpendicular to the ends of thin lines.

The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception
James J. Gibson
- 01 Jan 1979
TL;DR: The relationship between Stimulation and Stimulus Information for visual perception is discussed in detail in this article, where the authors also present experimental evidence for direct perception of motion in the world and movement of the self.

Theory of Edge Detection
David Marr,Ellen C. Hildreth +1 more
TL;DR: The theory of edge detection explains several basic psychophysical findings, and the operation of forming oriented zero-crossing segments from the output of centre-surround ∇2G filters acting on the image forms the basis for a physiological model of simple cells.
