摘要: Humans and animals can recognize objects even in viewing situations where the are seen against a patterned background when several adjoining or intersecting each other. An extreme example illustrating figure/ground separation power of human visual system is well-known picture dog by R.C. JAMES (Fig.1 ). When one looks at picture, it seems as if regions belonging to object “dog” were somehow labeled extent that contiguous black white areas appear be divided into sections belong others background.
