Segmentation of object outlines into parts: a large-scale integrative study.

In this study, a large number of observers (N=201) were asked to segment a collection of outlines derived from line drawings of everyday objects (N=88). This data set was then used as a benchmark to evaluate current models of object segmentation. All of the previously proposed rules of segmentation were found supported in our results. For example, minima of curvature (i.e. locations along the contour where negative curvature takes an extreme value) were often used as segmentation points. The second point of a pair connected by a segmentation line often depended on more global shape characteristics such as proximity, collinearity, symmetry, and elongation. Based on these results, a framework is presented in which all of the previously proposed (and now empirically validated) segmentation rules or rules for part formation are integrated.

Resolving border disputes in midlevel vision.

Two papers in this issue of Neuron specify the coding of border ownership, the basis of figure-ground segmentation, in early extrastriate visual cortex (area V2). Recording from a population of neurons, Qiu and von der Heydt show that border ownership assignments based on 2D images show the same bias when tested with stereopsis. Zhaoping shows that a neural model of V2 can make appropriate border assignments based on 2D images.

Visual shape recognition with contour propagation.

A neural architecture is presented that encodes the visual space inside and outside of a shape. The contours of a shape are propagated across an excitable neuronal map and fed through a set of orientation columns, thus creating a pattern which can be viewed as a vector field. This vector field is then burned as synaptic, directional connections into a propagation map, which will serve as a "shape map". The shape map identifies its own, preferred input when it is translated, deformed, scaled and fragmented, and discriminates other shapes very distinctively. Encoding visual space is much more efficient for shape recognition than determining contour geometry only.
