Part-Based Representations of Visual Shape and Implications for Visual Cognition

摘要: ABSTRACT Human vision organizes object shapes in terms of parts and their spatial relationships. Converging experimental evidence suggests that are computed rapidly early visual processing. We review theories how human parses shapes. In particular, we discuss the minima rule for finding part boundaries on shapes, geometric factors creating cuts, a theory salience. empirical into parts, show parts-based representations explain various aspects our cognition, including figure-ground assignment, judgments shape similarity, memory search perception transparency, allocation attention to objects.
