Perceived Continuity of Occluded Visual Objects

TL;DR: The results reveal the influence of 3-D surface-based representations even in very simple visual tasks.

Abstract: The human visual system does not rigidly preserve the properties of the retinal image as neural signals are transmitted to higher areas of the brain Instead, it generates a representation that captures stable surface properties despite a retinal image that is often fragmented in space and time because of occlusion caused by object and observer motion The recovery of this coherent representation depends at least in part on input from an abstract representation of three-dimensional (3-D) surface layout In the two experiments reported, a stereoscopic apparent motion display was used to investigate the perceived continuity of a briefly interrupted visual object When a surface appeared in front of the object's location during the interruption, the object was more likely to be perceived as persisting through the interruption (behind an occluder) than when the surface appeared behind the object's location under otherwise identical stimulus conditions The results reveal the influence of 3-D surface-based represen...

Objects and attention: the state of the art
TL;DR: The state of the art with regard to 'object-based' attention is reviewed, and how objects of attention relate to locations, reference frames, perceptual groups, surfaces, parts, and features is explored.

Tracking Multiple Items Through Occlusion: Clues to Visual Objecthood
TL;DR: Performance was not impaired when the items were briefly (but completely) occluded at various times during their motion, suggesting that occlusion is taken into account when computing enduring perceptual objecthood.

What is a visual object? Evidence from target merging in multiple object tracking
TL;DR: These studies provide strong evidence for the object-based nature of tracking, confirming that in some contexts attention must be allocated to objects rather than arbitrary collections of features.

Object-Based Visual Selection: Evidence From Perceptual Completion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that when attention is directed to part of a perceptual object, other parts of that object enjoy an attentional advantage as well, and that this object-specific advantage accrues to partly occluded objects and to objects defined by subjective contours.

The Interpretation of Visual Motion
Shimon Ullman
- 01 Jan 1979
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the methodology of artificial intelligence to investigate the phenomena of visual motion perception: how the visual system constructs descriptions of the environment in terms of objects, their three-dimensional shape, and their motion through space, on the basis of the changing image that reaches the eye.

TL;DR: It is argued that UC cannot be reduced to such grouping principles, because it is not a form of grouping at all, and a theoretical framework within which UC accounts for the initial (orentry level) organization of the visual field into primitive units is proposed.
